11 month update
$2,000
Hey guys, It's almost 11 months after my treatment and I just wanted to update my review. I hate to do this, but I changed my status to 'not worth it'. Shortly after my six month post my neck started to gradually look worse. Now it's so bad nothing short of a neck lift will help. The improvement was so short lived it just wasn't worth the money spent. I can't in good conscious leave a 'worth it'. I don't want to mislead anyone thinking about having this procedure. I'm looking into fillers as a better option for me at this point. Good luck to everyone. =)

Gypsyjazzgirl, I see a very clear difference between the first and last photos. Your jaw/chin lines look tighter! Congratulations. I hope you'll continue to post updates--so helpful. :)

Thank you Toronto2695. I do think I've shown improvement over the last few months. Hopefully I will continue to improve. I'll post more pics down the road when I can. Appreciate the support! =)

I had ultherapy for one brow (I have asymmetrical brows) and under and sides of eyes. Was SO nervous after reading all the posts about pain so was pleasantly surprised that I felt pretty much no pain at all, just a little heat. For the brow Dr. Brian Forley injected a nerve block -so I didn't feel a thing. For the eyes, I just took 600 mg of ibuprofen an hour before, and that did the trick as I did not feel a thing. I was told I would notice results beginning in 3 months - but I see them already as does my husband! Many of the fine lines around my eyes have disappeared and I can see some eyelid when my eyes are open now!
Someone at work said I look well-rested and great - and its' only been 2 days! Dr Brian Forley in NYC is the best! Honest, great manner, put me totally at ease. Can't wait to see it in 3 months!!

Nankoni57 .... was curious to know how things progressed for you? Would you do it again? I'm considering my face and neck. I know of Dr. Forley as well.

Hi Teepee - actually I had my lower face (neck jawbone) done about a month ago by Dr Forley. I have had about 30 people asked me if I have been losing weight - BIG difference. I felt it a bit more than the under eyes and brow - but still not THAT painful - I took a shot of an anti-inflammatory that helped - he offered vicadin - but I didn't take it - I did 600mg of ibuprofen before hand and I was fine. The only place I felt any discomfort was on my left jaw bone - and it only lasted about a second maybe. I will only go to Dr Forley for anything related from now on - he is amazing and makes you feel really comfortable. Keep me posted - I know it will be a great experience - I love the results already!

Nankoni57 - I so appreciate this information. I've been vacillating over ultherapy for months now. Concerned about seeing any real results. (thin, dry, sensitive skin) I had 3 Fraxel treatments done 4 years ago by Dr. Forley. He was wonderful, agreed. I don't know why I didn't think of calling his office! I'll be calling first thing in the morning. I will keep you posted. Thanks again!

Hi Teepee - great! Please let me know how it goes - I am sure you are going to be thrilled! I saw tightening pretty much right away in the neck area - and it just keeps getting better!

Thank you for sharing, as I am also considering this treatment down the road. I appreciate the input.

Hi MargateteZelle - you are welcome. If you are in the NYC area I thoroughly recommend Dr Bryan Forley. My results have been great and he is very patient and understanding. Keep me posted.

I really appreciate that you shared your pictures and experience. Not sure I would want to spend that much money for such subtle results; however, you seem to be happy and that's what counts as it is really hard for me to see a big change without seeing side by side before and after with the exact same lighting. It might be helpful to upload a before and after side by side with the lighting as similar as possible. I think the doctor should have done that for her patients.

I've finally reached my 6th month mark. I would have to say overall I am happy with my results. When I look at my before and early pics, I do see improvement, but like I mentioned before...pics don't tell the whole story. My improvement is small in person, but it's there. I'm pretty confident that without the ultherapy my neck would have looked worse at this point. Was it worth 2000 dollars? That depends on whether or not you have 2 grand to spend. I'm glad I did it, not sure yet if I'll do it again yet. But overall, it was a good experience for me. Well wishes to everyone and Happy Holidays. =)
