My profile & jawline was never defined unless I was a size zero. At 42, rather than starving for it, I'm happy I found a healthier alternative. Ultherapy. I also always had a tiny fat deposit under my chin. As you can see, I've also had a full face, which is key (in certain areas) to a youthful glow.

Subtracting fat deposits, tightening & defining my sagging jaw is my goal & hoped for results. I refused to be under anesthesia (too risky being a Mother) for elective reasons, so I chose a less invasive procedure than mini-face lift. It's been 3 days since my procedure.

I won't complain tirelessly about the pain, however, I will adamantly STRESS you use any & all pain medicines available. Get a driver for the ride home. I couldn't use any drugs due to severe nausea that lasts for days afterwards. I cannot use any narcotics whatsoever. Use pain medicines! On a scale of 1-10, pain is at times an 8 WITHOUT meds.

3 days out: swelling, tenderness, instantly more defined jawline. Using Advil. No change in chin, except swollen. Jaws are swollen. I look like a chipmunk.. But I realize any results will take up to 3 months or more.

I will later post more updates & ugly before picture.. Then after picture, as I see further tightening & definition as well as MUCH hoped for fat loss under my chin.

'you are very pretty and so lucky you did not do this on your upperface,cheeks or anywhere near the eyes . That is where the real problems seems to lie in this treatment and there are no ways to improve or change the devastating effects over time. Good luck!

Thank you:)

I will do it over my brows not near my eyes. I hear this is really painful, probably only need 1/3 of the zaps.

Please see some of the posts from people who have done their brows. There have been comments that people's eyes look smaller and harder.

I think it is the same person is posting most of the negative ultherapy reviews under different names. You look fabulous BTW!

You look alot younger and fresher.
There appears to be quite a good tightening of your face/cheekskin-did lower face treatment include this area?
Did you notice any results straight away when you sat up after the procedure?
I really need to get it done bad but am putting it off/scared to because of all the reviews of people getting more volume loss or sagging.

I noticed definition in my jaws as soon as the procedure was finished. I think there are stages. You notice a big difference around 3 weeks.

The fat under my chin that'd been there since teens & 20's is shrinking.

I do however, believe there are different depths of this machine & the person doing this must be knowledgeable of those settings and how to adequately use them.

First pass, I'm presuming, is for fat layers. Deep in the tissue (under chin hurt the most because she was aiming for the deep fatty tissue)

Second pass with machine is for top layers for tightening. Like where a tattoo would go.

I think if they cannot adequately use the machine, you might have the feared effects you're reading about! I don't think the person knew what they were doing in those cases.

I would stress if you do it around the eyes/sockets, you have them explain that would only tighten that area NOT deplete fat. Around the eyes is a good place for fat to keep a younger appearance.

I will do the area ABOVE my brow for a brow lift..

Lower face is under cheek bone area to the top of neck. I will post a photo of the areas mapped out.

your situation sounds exactly like mine (I am a size two but will have a bit of a fatty chin/jawline no matter what I do) and I have decided to go with ultherapy versus surgery. (Only to lower face and neck) Your review has been a huge relief because at first I was freaked out by all the negative reviews on here but I just read that apparently are all from one person making different accounts and are fake . Please keep posting your results!

One week: I notice a big difference. Can't believe it's going to progress over 3 months. Can't wait!

Not a waste of money..
