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

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?
