I have swollen glands and a sore throat after ultherapy, as well as nausea. Am I having side effects?

AuhanaApr 6, 2014
I had ultherapy 3 weeks ago , my face and neck are very sore especially in my glands which are swollen. Inside of my throat hurts and I have had nausea and headaches. I cannot even touch my throat it feels burnt. I would never have had this if I knew the side effects were so serious.

It's a little curious that Botox did not work for you. If you can purposefully raise your brows and lower them, you "should" be able to get some lift from Botox or one of the other neuromodulators Xeomin or Dysport. It is not possible to assess a possible reason without actually seeing your...
