HIFU botched melted face fat - worst decision I've ever made
ORIGINAL POST
HIFU Botched Melted Face Fat RUN!
tink2022July 4, 2023
April 26th I got. HIFU treatment to my neck. She also hit right underneath my chin pointing up into my face. She didn't actually use the device on my face but the energy transmits deeply into all tissue layers and it went up into my face. I had not done enough research. She said all it did was tighten skin and that she had done it to herself and had good results. She lied. 6 weeks after, I could not deny that my jawline was so much smaller and my cheeks were noticably flatter. 10 weeks post and skin is crepe like and much thinner. There are folds where there were none. The pretty facial fat is now melting daily the photos prove it. I have hollows and nasolabial lines where there were none. Starting 9 weeks post, I have facial and neck numbness mixed with tingling pain all day long. My lips tingle. 3 board certified facial plastic surgeons refused to help me. If anybody tries to offer you HIFU, run the other direction. It is the worst decision I've ever made in my entire life. My jawline has shrunk my head to the size of a 10 year old. I look like an alien. Big eyes no cheeks. Nasolabial folds. I hate what that girl did to me. Please don't do HIFU your looks will never be the same. She lied for a small sum of money and ruined my life.

The face has continued to atrophy. The spa is Transformations Med Spa in Longview, Texas. Keaton is the esthetician name she goes by Kitty. The advertisement reads skin tightening and noninvasive which is a lie. When I asked kitty if there was any unhappy customers or what's the worst could that has happened, she said "Nothing!"
When I went up there in person last week, she admitted to me that she can see my face is much skinnier and shrunken. She now admits that the fat is permanently gone. So you ruined my face on purpose? Why would anyone do that? So far the owner has not called me for a refund. There's no way to make it right but it shows complete disregard for my well being. If I can save any one from this fate then it is worth the embarrassment. Please never do a HIFU. it destroys tissue heats up and damages skin ruins elasticity and kills all the fat cells. We need fat in our face to make us beautiful. FAT LOSS already happens with age so HIFU accelerates the aging process. Facial fat transfers are so unpredictable just look up "fat transfer ruined my face." I'm not going to risk it. I know 1 person who is happy with his fat transfer but I believe he was lucky. Others are permanently disfigured and I don't want to risk being even worse. I'll never get my old face back but hopefully I can warn off somebody else. Be happy with what God gave you and stay away from these dangerous machines.

Do you think Ultherapy is a better option for people? They have an ultrasound which shows the laser technician the depth of the energy penetration. I had Ultherapy 8 months ago and I don’t regret it at all.

I have read Soo many terrible ultherapy stories. It's a gamble. I would never recommend any high energy device to anyone. The damage may not even be seen for years.

This is under the wrong category. Should be removed. Hifu is not Ultherapy.

I had Hifu done on my whole face almost 14 months ago. It has completely melted away all the fat in my face and it continues to do so until this day. If you are not prepared to loose plenty of volume and fat in youre face please never, ever do hifu on youre face…I am going crazy and have no idea when this horrible treatment will stop.
I’ve had scarring, infections in my dental implants, pain additional to just watching my face melt away and no one knows anything and no one can tell me how this will end…NEVER DO IT !! Trust me
