3 wks ago I had full face ulthera & botox in forehead,between eyebrows & at 'crows feet' for the first time - face settled down within 24hrs and looked no different than before treatment.however,on day five I developed eyebags & swelling to upper eyelids ( the skin between my eyebrow and top of eyelid has folded down and covered my eyelids ) now look far worse than before treatment - getting worried swelling is permanent- is it normal to have swollen eyes after these procedures? - Many thanks

Ulthera is not as painful as it used to be. With the new treatment protocols and being able to identify how deep to treat each patient, there is mild discomfort. I would make sure you have an experienced technician treating you. This will ensure a good outcome and less discomfort. Our patients ...
