41 Years Old, 3 Kids- Looking to Freshen Up and Lift and Tighten my Face. Maryland, MD

Hello everyone- I had Ultherapy because I was...

Hello everyone- I had Ultherapy because I was hoping to look younger, and tighten, lift and build collagen. Unfortunately, this didn't happen. My face definitely looked great for the first 7 months or so. After that time, the real damage started to present itself. My face looks very hollowed out now. I had a huge amount of fat loss and the elasticity in my skin was destroyed. If you're thinking about having this treatment, please do your research. I've visited several reputable dermatologists and plastic surgeons and they have explained that the Ultherapy can cause fat loss, something I didn't realize before having the treatment. I've only ever gone to high end dermatologists and spas, so I don't think my situation is about the dermatologist. I feel the issue is the laser itself based on how things have been explained to me since the procedure. I have had filler put in to attempt to correct the damage. This has helped a bit in certain areas of the face, but not entirely, and my face will never look as great as it did prior to treatment. If only I'd realized my face looked ok beforehand! Juicing and eating clean have helped, as well as weekly (at home) masks and exercise. Sorry to anyone that has experienced the same disappointment as I have. Good luck with your healing mentally & physically.

Sorry to hear it. I never had a good result.I lost all the fat, my eyes are small now, and became dry. Did that happen to you? I look like a different person. Also my fillers melted and wound up all over my face. I had to melt everything over a course if 3 months. This entire thing had been terrifying. I notice all the fake reviews on here and it makes me ill.
I lost all the fat in my face and my eyes look smaller and dry also. I feel like the procedure aged me drastically. My result sounds very similar to yours. Sorry you're going through a similar experience.
It seems like a pattern. My dermatologist said that she sees people who have done it, who complain of lack of results, but they look like they are 10 years older. She keeps that thought to herself. Yes, sorry anyone is going through this.
I am sorry this has happened to you thank you for taking the time to educate the rest of us
This has been brutal. Spent thousands in a psychiatrist. Face and beauty, destroyed! I never wanted to do plastic surgery and now I feel forced into it. All the good reviews on this board are fake. Depressing that they would do this knowingly, and yes that is a fact, on purpose.
