Didn't get much out of Ultherapy

It's been 9 months. I never really saw any change, but in the photos you can see a little. However, it also could just be the position I held my head for each picture. Overall, I'm going to say it wasn't worth it. Not the Dr's fault by any means, I just don't feel Ultherapy did anything for my sagging jaw line. No one ever told me I looked any better, nor do I see any results when I look at myself in the mirror.

I DO see a difference in your before and after pics. Definitely some improvement!
Can definitely see a difference!
There is definitely a difference. Looks great
I can definitely see a difference but it seems clear that a chin implant would have done much more for you and your jawline. I'm surprised the doctor didn't insist on that instead. Still, it does look better.
Thanks for posting the photos. I can also see a good improvement much in line with what I'd expect from this treatment. The results are never drastic, a general all round tightening, but then it's non invasive, very low risk, so that's a huge factor.

It's been 3 months and I still see no change :( Starting to feel like this was a HUGE waste of money unfortunately.
I'm also thinking I should have gone for a chin implant instead and that would have helped me out MUCH more than this did.
I'll update again in November. That will be 6 months and hopefully by then, I'll see some difference.

Hi DebNJ! Any more progress to report?
I do see the difference for sure. You don't notice it because you see yourself every day. Also this is non invasive procedure. What did you expect the results of the real deal plastic surgery? People need to be realistic.
Trust me, the pics my face wasn't the same angle. There was ZERO DIFFERENCE. I know it's "non invasive" but it cost almost as much as an invasive procedure, so my expectation was to have SOME visible change.
Just saw this comment after so many years! I didn't expect a "miracle", and WAS being "realistic" so your little rude comment wasn't necessary. There was little to NO difference in my face from that procedure and it cost a LOT!! That was my main issue with it. If it had cost around $1,000, than maybe I would have felt it was "worth it", but not for over $2,000!!!
I see a change too. You do look good!

I'm one month post procedure today. Still no change. My dr said 3-6 months is usually when they see changes and the final results at 9-12 months. So, I guess I have to continue to be patient.
I also have been doing lower facial exercises and moisturizing/massaging the area with a collagen cream twice a day. Plus I've been taking a collagen supplement.

I think your lower face looks firmer and smoother. Thank you for the updates. Please keep us posted on your results.
I see results there! Definitely.
