Hifu-This is not for young people

Hifu

Hifu was terrible for me. Destroyed my face and my life. Please do not do that. This is not for young people, it will melt deep fats on the face and makes you look at least 10 years older after few months.

Very sorry to hear that. Of course we don't know how bad it really was without pictures. I wonder why people with the worst reviews don't name their provider as a warning to others?

Hi, the real reason is she was my best childhood friend.... :( also for the pictures... I am thinking about it... from the first month after the procedure to now, I take daily photos just hoping maybe maybe I can look a bit better... but no, lost all my chubby cheeks... I was 58 KG and chubby cheeks and super full face , now 65 with half of my face and terrible skin compare to what I had

Real self won’t allow it as they also promote procedures as well as the surgeons are professional so called people doing it

Can you provide more info. You mentioned this is not good for young people would you mind giving your age
November 10, 2019
Hi, well, I'm not sure what ppl consider young, I am 42 and have done it at 41, when I had 0 sign of aging, full round face with chubby cheeks, plump and great smooth skin and super firm.... I only didn't like my double chin and the provider was my friend... so she suggested me to go over my face and I have no idea why I trusted her.... I say never ever try this procedure which it will destroy the face proportion, make your skin super saggy and kill all the fats under the skin....

I agree - that is completely accurate.
November 9, 2019
Sorry to hear that! May you please provide more info? How old are you?
November 10, 2019
Hi, now 42, but was 41, with a super young full round face, chubby cheeks and firm plump skin... at the weight of 58KG... after loosing all the fat in my face in the last year, my skin got supper saggy with lots of cracks and in the last 6 months I've tried to gain weight just to see if I can add any volume to my face ( which I was always gaining weight on my face before any other body parts), now after gaining 7 kg, my face is half of the size of the original weight of 58

Have oh had any improvement? Can fat cells be restored? I'm only 31 and this just happened to me. I'm so sad.
November 22, 2019
I'm looking into the options, seems like fat grafting is the only real way but that has it's own complications.....

Why do all the best surgeons live outside Great Britain x

Im 41 and scheduled to have this. Can I ask if she went over your cheeks? I don't believe they are supposed to do that. Also, how deep did your provider go? There are 3 levels. Did she have experience?
November 22, 2019
Pleasssse don't do that , she did with all 3, (1.5, 3 and 4.5)

I agree. I had it done and consider myself lucky. Lots of pain and zero results.

How many times did you do Hifu in a year? How often did you do that Hifu in a year? Im sorry.
January 5, 2020
I've done it once only and I really didn't even need it, my best friend was the doctor who suggested that and performed it unfortunately
January 26, 2020
This happened to me too :( I was 30 and til I look 18, flash forward 2 months to after I got HIFU I aged over night 10 years :( so sad. I've been depressed
January 26, 2020
I even don't understand why the provider suggested this treatment for 30 year old??? It's sad , but have you fixed it??? If yes, plz let me know how... I'm still looking for solutins
March 8, 2020
Maryam, have you looked into a fat transfer? I had the same devastating effect after I had ultherapy and I’m going in for a transfer on Wednesday
March 15, 2020
No I haven't found anything to fix it. :(
March 30, 2020
Hi, sorry I just saw this, well I was thinking about it, so how did the fat transfer work? Hope it's good??
March 30, 2020
So far, I’m very happy that I did it! I still have some swelling throughout the day but I could go out into public now and no one would be able to tell
March 30, 2020
That is great, I think I should do that as well, I want to be myself again, and do you know how many cc they put in your face and also where was the donor part? Was it painful?
July 5, 2020
Did you try the fat transfer? I was recommended micro fat but too scared to do it. I wish I didn't ever touch it and ruin my face
