6 months after ultherapy
First- THANK YOU so much for all the support on this site. I was so upset. I think it’s even more disturbing when cosmetic procedures go wrong because it was elective- it made me feel so stupid. Even tho I truly believe it’s ok to do them if they make us feel better about ourselves.
I am posting this update mainly to give hope to anyone that is upset with their ultherapy results.
Now at 6 months out I feel like my face has rejuvenated in the areas under my cheeks (which I thought looked skeletal). There is less volume than before the procedure but it doesn’t look bad. I just prefer a fuller more rounded and youthful face. I lost my baby face for sure - and I liked it.
As for my forehead and directly above my eyes it is still “fat-less”. It looks really smaller than before the procedure and i now have indents above the brows. I don’t like this as it for certain ages me!!! I hide it with hair at times. (I didn’t share a photo of that before)
My jowls look good.
My skin is for sure tighter but again almost taunt and hard – which sounds weird but it’s the only way I can think to describe it. It’s not soft to the touch anymore.
I did this procedure because I was told it would stimulate collagen. It was my fault that I did not read more about its use to lose fat. Any person on here that says you do not lose facial fat is wrong so expect to. I am thin, very tall person and needed my fat.
So in the end – I will absolutely never do Ultherapy again!!!!!!!!! It absolutely did age me. My family members commented on how thin my face was despite not knowing why. My weight has stayed exactly the same overall these six months. If your face is fuller than you want then I can see it being appropriate for your neck and jowls.
I did have the procedure done by a professional. If you had a professional do the procedure and you are upset by the results then know it will get better by the fourth month out. It is like it melts everything so your eyes look deep and dark with a sunken face...and then it takes time for the collagen to rejuvenate and plump back some with a tighter feel to your skin but the fat doesn’t come back.
In short - do not do this procedure unless your focus is to loose facial fat. (maintaining our facial fat as we age is one of the reasons people are doing filler! Not sucking it out of their cheeks and forehead!!!!!!) There are other ways to stimulate collagen that are much better!!!!
This is long but I wanted to be thorough to help anyone out if they need it. This is my last post on this topic. I just want to forget I ever did it. I know I look fine as opposed to many people and I’m grateful for that but I really hate all therapy. I was with my daughter yesterday – who has no idea I did this and she brought up my “skinniness” again, that question I honestly get a lot since ultherapy was done: “ how did you get so thin all of a sudden? Don’t lose anymore weight!” :(

Here re the pics
I had posted them then deleted because I hate seeing them but I feel so badly for others that have posted I wanted up to be able to see. Charming I truly feel the literal “fat loss” was the first month. You can see in the photos .
I feel like now maybe I am making more
Collagen and it is softening. I think the further changes are due to tightening and lifting . Don’t loose faith. My pic today is truly a little better. I have to feel that way at least cuz there is no going back. I’m not risking a fat transfer.
Picture 1 - before procedure 1/2019 (nice and full - I liked it better)
Picture 2 - 6 weeks post (horrid)
Picture 3- this morning 4 and a half months post
I did this to boost collagen ....bad choice. I liked my facial fat as it wold help me in 10 years. Anyway I have to stop thinking about it for today .

The before (1/2019) and after (5/2019) pics.
It’s so upsetting looking at these side by side. The fat loss is incredible. I look like a different person- I can’t believe it. The pictures have a somewhat different posture or color quality but it is still obvious how I changed. ????
