Started from a little over a year ago, I started to feel my face, especially my cheeks dropping. I can feel my cheeks jiggle after I hit a bump, or when I have no facial expression, I can feel my cheeks drooping. I do not like that feeling at all.

I researched to see what options there are for my problem, and looks like ultherapy is the only choice I have.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and results with the community.

thank you Kimmers! I was told it takes 3 months to see the best result. It's been a month so far, so let's see how it will look 2 months later.

That sounds about right.  Can't wait to see your updated pictures.

The side view really shows a lot of improvement. Good luck.

Thank you ColoradoMaiden, I can't wait to see the best results around 3 months after it, which is 1 month away!

Wow! I've been doing a lot of research on Ultherapy and these are the best pictures I have seen it yet within three weeks. I live in Connecticut and it seems the best doctors are either in New York or California.I am 46 and I can feel my face sagging and my neck jiggles a little too. It's a horrible feeling and what's worse is I can see how much older I am starting to look. I am saving up for this treatment but results differ from person to person from what I've read on these posts. But your pictures gives me a lot of hope! Thanks for sharing you look terrific!

Thank you for the compliment! You are right, it does look like most of the best doctors are in New York or California. I suggest you to only look for board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons to do ultherapy, but keep in mind that most likely, this will be done by a technician, not the doctor him/herself. Most of the doctor provide free consultations for cosmetic procedures, so definitely ask about it. If not, your health insurance should cover the consultation as an office visit. So far, I am very satisfied with the result and most likely I would do it every year, just as a maintenance. The earlier you do it, the better the result will be. You will also feel much better after this treatment! I would suggest you to set up consultation with several doctors in New York, on the same day. Also, definitely go to a doctor who is familiar with your skin type/ethnicity. I am Chinese, that's why I prefer a Chinese doctor, whose patients are mostly Chinese. That means both the doctor and the staff are very familiar with my skin type and they'll know exactly what to do to maximize results.

The shape of my face changed. A lot of people ask if I've lost weight, or said that I look better, but they can not pinpoint what was different.

Hello! I am 37 and was wondering if it would be beneficial. Do you have a picture to update now that it has been another month since this post? Just wondering if I should spend the money, but I am getting married at the end of the year and figure this may be a good thing to try! Thanks!

Hi cali girl, I look the same as the last set of pictures. It's def worth it, I would recommend it to anyone who's over 30

Depending on which month your wedding is, I suggest doing ultherapy 4 months prior. Also depending on your budget and appearance, I would suggest voluma to fill up nasal libra folds, IPL (MAX G) to brighten up your complexion and shrinks pores.

Friedface--You are right on the money! I can already see where the beautiful fullness of her face was melted. I hope she stops and leaves herself alone.

I would definitely say your whole face has changed shape, everything looks smaller, especially after your most recent 2 year, 2nd treatment, post picture (if you compare them side by side it's obvious). For your initial needs and wants, this treatment may have been appropriate for you and your thick jaw/face shape, but for someone who is starting out with delicate bone structure and less density in their skin to begin with, this treatment would not be appropriate due to it's "shrinking" effect through the use of intense subdermal heat which has less tissue to absorb and disperse, resulting in deep fat loss and even bone absorption. I write this for people who may have different face shapes and skin thickness who run the risk of deleterious results. There are other methods of collagen induction therapy like dermastamping (my personal favorite) that doesn't use heat and run the risk of facial fat loss, etc. Those with double chins, thicker faces and jaws fair better and it looks like your treatments were and are successful and that's awesome! I think the consensus is leaning towards ultherapy ONLY being used for such cases. It's important to understand what this procedure can reap, both positive and negative (it doesn't work for everyone, obviously, from negative reviews). You look great, but know there is a shrinking effect happening and I would hate to see you go too far with a third treatment, when your results are so positive at this point! :) Thank you for sharing.

Hi do you think after the treatment, your jaw line got tighter? I'm looking to do the treatment under my chin to reduce the appearance of a "double chin". I don't have a lot of fat under the chin so I thought a skin tightening treatment would help as I don't have enough fat for liposuction.

Thanks for sharing. I have some hope now in looking into this treatment. Your side profile really shows a big difference. Much more toned cheeks:)

Thank you monique, I really like the result.
January 22, 2015
I think the results look amazing! You've definitely inspired me to try this although I fear the pain.
January 22, 2015
Thank you! My doc provided pain killers and I asked for more in the middle of the procedure. Ask if the doctor you wanted to go do that, or you can take some yourself before the procedure.
