I had Ulthera done approximately 11 months ago. The nurse used the deepest setting and it melted the fat in my face. I went back to my provider for filler to restore the loss volume but did not get a positive outcome. I went to another dermatologist for filler and again, it did nothing to restore enough volume to lift and smooth out the skin. My skin is like a balloon that’s been popped. All the skin has fallen and there is loose, bumpy indentations on my lower face. Do I need surgery?
