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?

Answer: Options for volume loss after Ultherapy Since the problem is volume loss, a collagen stimulator like Sculptra, powdered stem cells of fat like Renuva, or a facelift surgery incorporating fat transfer would all be options. I recommend an in person consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons to get opinions since the surgeon will be able to manipulate the tissue which gives more information than just photos.

Answer: Ultherapy damage One other option that can help to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen is Radiesse and Sculptra injections. If Ultherapy treatment truly reduces the fat layer, the only way to restore fat is to do a fat transfer. But Radiesse and Sculptra can help bring back the volume and help tighten the skin to reduce the visible loss of volume in the tissues.

Answer: Tough problem to solve Unfortunately, the only way to correct what you have is fat grafting and some fillers. The fact you had Ultherapy there makes the blood supply needed for the fat to take (Survive) lower that optimum. So, 2-4 sessions will be needed. An improvement is possible.
