A Few Months after 2nd Ultherapy
I see some lifting in my eye area but not $1000 worth of lift. So it was just ok - not great results in that area. Since there is no fat to worry about losing, and i had no pain after like some people say, i would perhaps repeat the forhead later because they charge less for touch up/repeat sessions.
My jawline has improved and looks quite bit tighter. My neck seems to have some lines on it, where I had some bad welts, but they are not overly noticeable to people other than myself...my husband said he didnt see them until i pointed them out and then had to look. I have been putting Bio oil on them and it seems to help a little. Hopefully in time they will fade more. I think she went a bit too aggressive for my fair skin but was glad that she did under the jawline aggressively (was tender for almost 2 months( as that area improved nicely.
I have seen where another lady posted that she lost lots of volume in her neck - i consider myself lucky to only have a few lines and skin splotches and that it didnt seem to get rid of volume when i already have a thin neck. I will not do the neck area again - probably the only area i would redo periodically is the area right under the jawline/chin as that part seems to be quite worth it for me. I wont do the rest of the face esp the cheek and under eye area because i have read about too many people losing volume with this proceduer and dont want to risk that, or end up looking gaunt.

Second Time Around - Better with Lidocaine!
I posted here a little less than 2 years ago when i had my lower face done. My second time around Monday went well - brow area and touch up under chin which ended up being the whole neck. Dr used lidocaine injections (numerous) and that was MUCH better than just taking pain meds. I took 10 mg valium an hour before and did not take the lortab. The lidocaine injections were not much worse than getting a bunch of botox shots. I felt a few zings in the forehead area during the ultherapy and felt nothing except the pressure of her pressing the device when she did the neck area.
She told me she did it at the highest setting and that i would have some welts. I have no marks on my forehead except for a small bruise in the center from a lidocaine injection. It is only slightly tender if i touch it, no scalp pain or numbness there like some reviewers have reported for this area. My neck has some bruises and welts but cant be covered with makeup and my hair, and it does have numbness/soreness but it doesnt really bother me. I am using arnica on it. Forehead feels very tight like i had a lot of botox and cannot knit my brows together which hopefully means its doing what it is supposed to do. No swelling in brow area. Neck is sore and has some swelling under the chin so its too soon to tell, but I got a decent result there last time so hopefully this time will be good - the Dr said since its newer collagen from having it done before, it should give a better result the second time. I thought she was only touching up the area direclty under the chin (they will do the second treatment at a discount if you got it done there the first time) but she did it all the neck all the way to the collar bone. The first doctor (who moved and is no longer there) didnt do it that far down the first time, so i was glad to get more area covered for the discounted "repeat area" price.
i stongly advise anyone who does not have an aversion to needles, to definitely ask for numbing injections. I would not do it again without them, it made it much more tolerable. I will post an update after the swelling and welts go away in the neck area.

One Week After
Today has been one week and I still have some slight tenderness, only when touched and/or applying makeup. At first I did not see any bruising the first day or so post procedure, but on day 3 I noticed some faint yellow bruising (NOT black and blue) on the area above my jawline on both sides. It was easily and totally covered up with makeup. I kept using arnica cream and it is gone now. The slight swelling as subsided and i still feel that my face looks tighter, with prejowls nearly gone, so it was not just the swelling masking them. My husband remarked that it made a noticeable difference (usually he will imply that I waste money on cosmetic procedures) and that it took at least 5 years off.
