Why do doctors continue using Ultherapy with so many patients reporting negative side effects?

Asked By:ulthera73 in New York, NY

So sooo many people are unhappy with ultherapy results. Not because of undertreatment, but because of scary, unwanted changes, like more sagging, wierd/bumpy skin texture, volume loss, even loss of symmetry. Aren't doctors worried this procedure will cost them their reputation? Why would a safe doctor continue to use such a device when there are reports of damage, even if the doctor reads these reports on the internet? If the risks outweigh the benefits, then how can this be considered safe?
