I was doing this for preventative measure as I have relatively good skin for my age. No fine lines or marionette lines. What I did notice were some jowls coming down, so I wanted to stop that before they got worse. Just tighten up my jaw line. I went in to Face Skincare and Wellness Center in Bingham Farms, Michigan. I was treated by a RN who is very personable. I was told I would have minor swelling and/or bruising. I did not expect this much swelling. There are a few red marks under my chin as well now. Those area are very firm, hard lumps under my skin. It's really scary. The rest of the swelling is normal, soft tissue that is just swollen. I called to talk to my service provider, who called me back almost immediately and said this was normal. I text messaged her my pictures but haven't heard back yet.

I went in for a consult with Michelle. She is really nice and knowledgeable with great bedside manor. She is excellent. I do wish she told me the amount of swelling to expect. She said it would be minimal and this was very scary when I had such a large amount of swelling. They do not take Care Credit here and use a company called Medical Financing. I applied online and didn't realize until too late that this was a personal line of credit almost like a mortgage, and they charged me a $350 ORIGINATION FEE!!! Plus they charged 13% interest!! Care Credit is always interest free for the first 6 months and of course, no FEE when you apply! I come here because they have excellent technicians (Michelle, Ashley) who are extremely professional and have the latest lasers available in my area.

I had the same swelling and small red area on my neck... It will go away.. Rest assured.. I didn't expect that swelling either but I think it went away after a couple days gradually... Relax... :)

a few friends of mine did it and had swelling and no problems down the road. I only did upper face and had major issues down the road. I think it depends on the person doing it, coupled with the fact that this is a very aggressive thing to do to the face, nerve damage etc. I think you will be fine.

How are you doing now? I had my first facelift at 48, mainly for the jowls. 20 yrs later all is well but I a getting the jowls back, marionette & laugh lines, corners of my mouth is sinking. Fillers are too temporary. If this works for me it is 1/2 the price of a Dreamlift (lower 3/4 of face). Thanks

Day one was pretty swollen for me, as well. Do you have any "before" pics for comparison? I think that your swelling looks about par with what I am experiencing and from what I have seen on other profiles. It's early days... =)

please don't listen to baubauu, it has been confirmed that it is a fake profile trying to destroy ultherapys reputation. Looking forward to hearing your progress

I thought so! They have several profiles posting negative fake reviews/comments like they are obsessed or something.
