43 Years Old and Looking to Improve Skin and Facial Firmness - United Kingdom

So....I am told I look pretty good for my age but...
WORTH IT$2,000
So....I am told I look pretty good for my age but I am absolutely paranoid about getting old and to make things worse have a much younger partner (looking at his gorgeous young skin and face makes my ageing seem so much more amplified!). These things combined made me want to get ahead of the game and try to keep on top of the horrible ageing process. I have taken some photos but they are so unflattering I am pretty horrified about posting them - I will though! I have had earlier this year co2re laser which was amazing for my skin and I also have botox to prevent crows feet (which I don't have yet) and the forehead frown lines between my eyes (which I do have).
The treatment was sore - but not so sore that I wouldn't do it again. I did take some pretty hardcore pain relief but even with that it was uncomfortable. I didn't get a full face treatment as the doctor said that was not necessary - instead I had some lifting applied at the sides of my eyes and along my jaw line. I also had some at the sides of my face (lower cheeks). Today (one day after) some parts of my face are numb - the doctor did say this would happen. I did initially note a very slight difference and some lifting but unsure if that was just being in a bit of shock and some initial swelling. Anyway - its all ok and I was very impressed with the doctors consultation and care during the treatment. I do not wish to give details of the doctor for personal reasons but she was fantastic and is one of the leading practitioners of Ultherapy in the UK. I researched this treatment extensively before committing even though this treatment is available in my city I travelled outwith to see this doctor. I had a few concerns (nerve damage, fat atrophy etc) and the doctor walked me through these concerns and I felt very confident that I need not worry about these in her care.
I now await the results and am told that i will see good results in 90 days and this will continue for six months. The doctor told me at the time that she thought I was going to get a good result from this treatment so I really really hope so (I really need this to make me look younger!) Ill post more as this journey continues!

So...4 days later and have numb bits all over my face and a weird tingling when I touch some parts. It feels fine though and i was warned by the doctor that this would be the case. I think I thought I saw some initial improvements but dont feel that it was anything really apart from swelling. I am hopefully though that it will improve my skin and give me a younger overall look.

Nearly a week after ultherapy to jaw and side of brows
So its still pretty numb and tender but no swelling or any other adverse affects. I did research this therapy thoroughly before committing especially in terms of choosing the best and most experienced doctor that could do this. I must admit I am now becoming a little worried due to reading up on all the fat loss and small eyes chat on this page and have started to become anxious that this will happen to me. I asked the doctor specifically about fat loss and have been absolutely assured this will not happen. Looking at the technology it seems that if the therapy has been focused on the correct depth then this should not be an issue. Im still worried though as there seem to be people on this thread going absolutely nuts about this procedure ruining their entire face.

There are some people acting pretty nutty on here about ultherapy-notice their before pics if they have any! I do not think most of the negative reviews are real. Most of them seem to be from the same two attention seeking people with multiple ID's. Please stay optimistic and keep us current on your progress. Hope we all get great results!
