I was starting to notice that the underside of my chin and neck were starting to sag and look old. I expected a more painful experience based on other reviews. On a scale of 1-10, the discomfort was a 5 or 6. You can do whatever you like right after the procedure and only feels mildly uncomfortable the next day. It did not feel like others have stated" a bolt of lightning through the head." I thought it felt like a little stinging sensations, some places worse than others. Before the procedure I had taken Tylenol. It helped for me to exhale as the sting was happening and the assistant had a fan on my neck. If it got a little intense, the Doctor would stop and massage the area. The procedure lasted 2 hours and results up to three years. I will be posting new photo's every thirty days as it can take up to 90 days to see the full effect. One day post procedure, I do not see any change but I did not expect to. I feel this procedure is expensive and to do the whole face and neck is close to 5,000. If I do not see a good result, I will wait 10 years and have a neck lift. If your chin and neck look worse than mine, I would just put your money towards a surgical lift.

Did you get the Ultherapy ? I got it done on Dec 2, 2015. I only read the scary reviews AFTER doing the procedure. I look great now (2 months post); but I am scared how I will look 9 months post.

Are you motivated now lol? Curious to hear how it turned out? I am thinking of having Ultherapy on my neck. I also had fat transfer 7 years ago which took about a year for the puffiness to really go down but looked great for about 5 years. Where did they take your fat from?

I had no fat transfer, just Ultherapy. It tuned out well but I think it is too expensive for the small result.

This procedure was not bad for me however everyone experiences it differently. I have definately gone through more pain in my life. I could sit through it again if I like the results.

I had Ultherapy at the end of December 2015 (lower face and neck). I was starting to get turkey neck and sagging jowls. I just turned 60. I am now 2 months post treatment. I see results and so do a lot of people that haven't seen me for a couple of months. I took Advil before the procedure. For me, there was very little pain. Upper lip was the only place where I actually felt a lot of discomfort. Towards the end, when they are doing the third and final pass, I fell asleep.

Ultherapy on neck

This is one week out. The first picture was in daylight, second at night. I can't tell anything yet. Anyone considering this procedure should realize that Ultherapy results can keep developing from up to 60-90 days. That is when you would see the best results. Hang in there with me and we will see if anything changes.

I had it done Thursday Feb 11th. So far all I notice is that my skin feels tighter under my chin.

Your neck looks tighter here. Let me know how your results are because I want to have my neck done.

I don't think the result is worth the cost.
April 15, 2016
Thx for your response. I'm sorry u didn't get the result u wanted. :-( I'm going to be getting a necklift instead. I have had consults for the non invasive like Ultherapy, Thermitight... But I am doing a surgical necklift instead. I wanted to avoid that, but I am seeing a lot of bad reviews on Ultherapy and Thermitight. :-(

I see a real improvement and think you look great; would love to see a post- 2 month pic.
