I am seriously considering on getting Ultherapy soon; full face and neck. I have read on Realself that some women said they had loss/melting of fat which aged their face dramatically. Also, some complaints of sagging and rippling of skin. I am having a Board Certified doctor do my treatment. I had a facelift 3 yrs ago with a revision 2 months later. Will I see an improvement in the rippling under my chin, and, will I see the skin on my chin get tighter? Thank you for your input.
