Newest picture with glasses. Against prior.

I think my face is even thinner than a month ago. This is today. And the Prior ones again for comparison. :(

Your skin looks very smooth and toned. The color is more pale. Do you think thats from getting less sun? Probably due to decreased circulation as well. I wonder if cupping could help to gently get blood back to the tissues.
It would be one thing to get something done and then have a result, but its like the result of the ultherapy done to you is ongoing.

I hate how they give a false sense of comfort by putting "therapy" into these procedures.

I think you look great in that last pic! Your face might be thinner but it's not drawn or saggy. And your chin looks bigger too. I know you're not happy but I think if you didn't have skin firming you would have some serious jowls, which you certainly don't have in the last pic.
I never had serious jowls. And I am very unhappy with the thinner face. I liked having a fuller face. It made me look younger. My skin may not be sagging but I look older now. Plus. I am over 10 pounds overweight right now. That thin face looks tiny on my body. I don't even want to think how it will look once I loose the extra weight. My face is very drawn. You can see the bones underneath and feel them big time.
Thanks though!
This doctor seems to be amazing at fat transfers if that's something you are thinking about. The photos posted on the RS reviews are amazing!

This is the woman I'm talking about so you don't have to search. She looks amazing for being 60 but more than that, her fat grafting is SO natural! This doctor seems to be a real artist too.

I can see the difference in the before's and afters - severe facial wasting. Have you tried fillers or a fat transfer?

No I have not. I am afraid because my face is still thinning. I want to wait until the changes stop. I did have PRP alone with no filler. My face got better for a little while but then it started wasting away again.
I agree that waiting for a few more months is a wise decision. Then you can decide what the best course of action is in terms of fat transfer or fillers or a lower facelift which will get rid of excess skin.

Thinning skin after Ultherapy

The lighting is not regular in the first picture but I wanted to show how much my skin has thinned. You can see my veins through when before you could not!

No. I dont know what they could do? :(. I posted pictures of November 9th. A little over a month ago. It was not like this. Posting for the people who are always questioning.
I meant. Pictures FROM november 9th
Which is the before and which is the after? Looks like veins in both pics. On the pic on the left the veins look sharper/clear and they look more diffuse on the right or like the blue discoloration could be bruising.
Both are now. Right and left side of my face.
Showing the veins are now showing. Skin thinning and I guess there was a lot more fat on my temples before because I never had the veins showing. I feel like frankenstein now.
Oh. Ok.
Hope it all gets better for you Pat. Try to stay positive.
I pray it just stops already. Sending you lots of healing prayers, Pat.
Thank you!

Do you think that the skin is thinning more or perhaps the blood vessels look larger because they are trying to get to those damaged tissues to heal them?
I dont know for sure but which is but My skin has definitely thinned out so I assume that is the reason. It is even smaller that a month ago. I just posted pictures. They got out of order but read the description.
