I’ve been at war with my double chin and jowls for a few years now. I’ve had both Kybella (5 rounds) and coolsculpting on the area. Between the two, I did see a reduction in overall volume. However, I had loose skin the sagged in the area now. I wanted to see if this could help. I only had it done a few hours ago, and so cannot attest to how well it works (yet). Will continue to update as time goes.
For today, wanted to review the procedure and the clinic I had it done in, as well as Dr. Patel.
Overall, I felt the experience was amazing. I have no complaints. Dr. Patel was knowledgeable and I felt very confident in her skill and expertise with the equipment. She said they have had Ultherapy since 2015, and they do a ton. Based on my experience, I believe her!! I am a chicken when it comes to pain and had a lot of anxiety going into it. She made sure I was medicated and was reassuring and empathetic the entire time. It took about 1.5 hours and I did just my lower face.
The pain was tolerable. The first few passes were fine, but the heat does slowly build up. On the 4.5 level, along the jawline (near the bone) it hurt a lot. In the 3.0 level it didn’t hurt at all. North of my jawbone it didn’t hurt at all. On my neck, where the skin is thin, it hurt a bit there too.
Like other reviewers mention, once the machine stops, there is no more pain - it’s brief and tolerable. I used 50mg Tramadol and yoga breathing, and got through it just fine. Take medication! Don’t be a hero.
If you’re in the Chicago suburbs, you can’t go wrong with this practice!

Swollen! But she warned me I would be and so it’s nothing I wasn’t prepared for. Less than kybella but a bit “deeper” of a feeling, if that makes sense. I think there may end ip being some bruising tomorrow, it’s tender and seems like purple is coming in some. Still not concerned, can’t wait to start to see changes.
Will post again. Photos are too large, so have to figure that out to add some. Can’t speak to the results yet. So still unsure. But not regretting the procedure or having and side effects that are concerning etc etc. would recommend drinking a lot of water, had a headache last night from the pain medicine I think, not the Ultherapy.

I have some bruising that was visible on the night of Day 3. It’s only along my jawline, and would easily be covered with light foundation. This website is annoying about photos, the size is always too big!
Anyway, my lower face is still a bit sore to touch and a bit swollen. I can see how people have this and freak out a bit. It’s as if the procedure makes it worse before it makes it better. That being said, I have had no side effects that I didn’t anticipate, can’t handle, or find in any way disturbing. It’s not bad, at all. Just impatient for results now.
