It was a Saturday when my doctor called
To ask me how I was. He had done some research to try to help with my swelling and lower lip. He put me on methylprednisolone, I am on day 4 out of 6. It is now 12 days and the swelling on my jaw is down and I have cheeks again. The only visible swelling is still a little gobbler under my chin. My face is looking great except I do not have full use of my lower lip yet. It has relaxed without the swelling. He has said that there is a good chance that this might negate the treatment some. Since no one really knows I guess I can tell you when I know .
I just wanted to have a lift on my neck ,my doctor...
I just wanted to have a lift on my neck ,my doctor suggested ultherapy , he said it worked better if my jaw up to my eyebrow was done as well. After hearing the stories of how much it hurt I decided to be anesthetized ,why pay for pain too. I woke ,groggily went home and my mouth felt funny,like I had novacane and it was numb. With the swelling I didn't think too much about it. The next day I realized my lower lip on the right side was not moving. It's been a week and the swelling is still more than usual. I spoke with my doctor today and he said the paralysis could last from 2 weeks to 6. I am trying not to let this bother me but it does. They say do not take anti inflammatories because it will affect the procedure, but if I take them the swelling may go down and my nerve may heal. Has anyone else had this issue?

They have been kind and seemed concerned, I am the only patient of theirs that this has happened to. My doctor seems to be very attentive to detail. He did not do the procedure. A technician did.
