Ultherapy Hifu Review
Straightforward524314June 3, 2022
I had full face and neck Hifu treatment, went into it very naive and without researching it. Today is 10 weeks.
Two days after I felt stabbing pain in the right side of neck.- later found out that my right tonsil had atrophied.
I was not swollen, just a bit for a 3-4 days, but after that my face started to burn really bad, and it continued until I did prp with cellular matrix at 3 weeks post procedure. It helped to decrease the burning feeling.
Within first 3-4 weeks I think I lost the most fat around my face, I was scared and still am.
I feel headace, pain in jaw, inside ears, in the temples-on and off for a few days like that in different areas of the face.
Last simptom that I feel is muscle spasms, my right eye twitched a lot for a few days, then it stopped, than other muscles in face, even muscles in my body twitch (less but they do).
Few days ago burning sensation came back- that is the worst of all, I took prednisone on my own and it helped.
My face is smaller and thinner but I dont think I look disfigured, but I am very sad with how I look.
I have been to many doctors- dermatologyst, neurologyst, ent doctor, did collor doppler of blood vessels of the neck, neck soft tissue ultrasound, even MRI, every doc says resoults are good, and In my country no one have a clue what ulthera is..
And no doctor beleve me that I have been burned under skin, because it can not be seen on the epidermis.
I take low dosis of prednisone and neurontin on my own, vitamins B for nerves, alpha lipoic acid, q10, and vitamin E to diminish creation of scar tissue.. This site has been more helpful with informations than any doctor I have seen.

No, I have not yet, I'll look at it now. Thank you for suggesting it, it's very valuable to me.

Sorry you had so much trouble. What result were you wanting with this procedure?
June 6, 2022
Well, to be and feel a bit prettier.. I assumed I would have just a little nicer skin. It was sold to me as non invasive.

I had the same thing happen. I had a very round youngish facial shape which melted away. Ugh.

Beauty procedures

Today I spoke to neurologist, who told me that any agressive procedure on the body, especially after covid can trigger autoimmune disease. And for women that is primarily on thyroid gland..
I have read here about a lady who became type1 diabetic after some type of liposuction.
No beauty procedure is worthy of stress, fear, thinking of possibility of being, or being damaged.. and counting some time mark to see will you end up to be ok.

Thanks for your review with pictures. Are you experiencing any saggingness at this point?
June 11, 2022
I don't have much loose skin. It's not firm (It wasn't very firm even before procedure) but I would not say it saggs. Concerning looks, the worst thing is volume loss around eyes, I have 2 small dents on the outer corner/under right eye where cheek begins. I am not sure that my changing has stopped yet.

Thanks for your reply. Orbital fat loss is common from high energy devices. So are random indentations. Please continue to keep us updated and take care.

Changes in hands
Straightforward524314June 12, 2022
My hands looked normal 2 weeks ago, thin but normal, this is today, holes between bones..
This is less than 3 months after hifu (face and neck), my arms were not treated.
My arms feel heavy, joinst/wrists hurt a little, I am shocked with what I see..

Have you considered ground curcumin for anti-inflammation? That's what I would take if I was in your position. It sounds like you're being proactive in your personal care. Thank you for your review.
