I can definitely see the change in your facial fat deposition, and placement. Such beautiful cheekfat placement before; a natural beauty. What a travesty. I'm sorry this happened to you. It's criminal. The body has an amazing ability to regenerate, especially fat cells. It's a physiological survival thing. You're young so who knows what you're body is capable of in terms of healing. Stay hopeful, and thanks for continuing to share your difficult journey.

It could just be aging, as you get closer to your 30s this usually happens to women, the fat sagging down etc

You canNOT be serious. Wow. I know a company that is going down lol there are way too many horrible results like this.

@Passionate772678, that doesn't happen all within 3 to 6 months, ESPECIALLY when there is no dramatic weight gain or loss during that time. Get real, and stop trying to minimize this woman's experience.

Stress? All of us live with stress every day! Fair enough you’ve had your own experience, but this young woman’s skin goes beyond just stress... she has been left with what many ultherapy patients have experienced in a short space of time which is far more serious as this was caused by a machine that is not FDA approved for the face... of course stress ages you, but at only 24 this should not be happening at such a rapid rate after a procedure. Not denying your experience here, but this thread is about Ultherapy. You could have formulated your initial comment a bit better with more of your experience as it did come across as gaslighting.

You're trying to compare a woman's negative ultherapy experience to your face sagging caused by weight loss. You're on the wrong thread!!

I'm so sorry to hear your terrible ordeal. I too had Ultherapy and it damaged my chin area. Now, I have a double chin. I do feel some tightening happening but not going back. I've cried and solely waiting on the 3 month mark before I decide to see a surgeon for repairs and enhancing treatment. I'm considering other options but I'm doing my best to be patient. I hope things improve for you too.

Yes, I agree she is in sorrow. Just breathe and take one day at a time. Do what you can to maje yourself feel better. I want makeup under my chin to hide the imperfections for now. Stay strong, and positive.

Has anything improved or worsened for you? I’m only on week 6 and I feel like I’m dying plus it destroyed my face but I am PRAYING this is temporary.

Who performs this type of treatment on a 24 year old YOUNG patient?! That says something about the practitioner.

I completely agree. Who would suggest something like this on someone so young? This was done out of greed.
I am sorry for what you are going through. I hope that you are doing better.

So much pain. Never ever ever do this

kima1990April 1, 2021
Only a few days later... my face is getting wors and my skin is getting very saggy thin and there is mo flexibility in it anymore. It just hangs. what causes scaring in my face. I was a brown girl but the scaring makes my face white. My skin is so messed up. First it was inside and fat was moving. Now the scaring comes to the surface

First, micro and nanolipofilling
Then, a facelift if necessary

I am so sorry you are going through this, especially at such a young age. You are a warrior for pushing through everyday. Despite the damage caused by Ultherapy, you are still very beautiful.

Do you have any photos of yourself before the treatment? I also see photos from after the treatment, so it's hard to see the difference and how big the impact and changes have been for you.

I'm scared that would even damage it more because my slim is so weak and loose

I'm still losing face fat what turns Into loose skin.. I can't even walk normal without feeling pain. Weight pulling my skin and it hurts. Still after 5 years. One side is always worst and pulling more face fat from my middle face towards my jawline

Thank you for your update, Kima. You should have never, ever, ever been given this treatment to begin with.

Can you explain your the pain you're feeling a little bit more. Are you feeling like scar contraction underneath your skin?

I know. Now I learned it was not FDA approved for tje whole face. And they could not performed it on a 24 year old. Now it's to late. I hope people will see this and think twice about this treatment. I am still in pain every day and my skin is getting wors every day
