Ultherapy + Damage Q&A

I had Ulthera done approximately 11 months ago. The nurse used the deepest setting and it melted the fat in my face. I went back to my provider for filler to restore the loss volume but did not get a positive outcome. I went to another dermatologist for filler and again, it did nothing to restore enough volume to lift and smooth out the skin. My skin is like a balloon thats been popped. All the skin has fallen and there is loose, bumpy indentations on my lower face. Do I need surgery?

As you probably know, RealSelf and the internet is filled with ultherapy disaster stories. I saw a comment once about damaging results being due to either counterfeit devices or wrong settings used. In the case of wrong settings / treatment depth, what are the appropriate treatment depths for different areas of the face to avoid damage / bad results? (Thin undereye skin / lids, forehead, jaw, brows, etc.) What else should a patient know about settings / technique to avoid bad results? Thanks.

Can ultherapy accelerate long term aging if you did it at a young age? by damaging tissue and architecture of skin? shortenting telomeres?

I am dvastated it was done in my lower face it has age me 20 years what can i do to repair this

Why are there sooo many negative reviews? What are the chances of this happening to me? Can it cause scar tissue? Everyone seems to be aging faster with Ultherapy years down the line. Is this true? Faster aging in the long term?

Can you have ultherapy done after receiving fillers? I heard you have to wait a few months as the heat could melt the fillers? I was thinking about having ultherapy on my chin and neck would this still damage the fillers?

Hi doctors! Based on what factors a doctor determine if I am a good candidate for Ultherapy in lower face? I hear great results from ultherapy but a bit scared to do it because of some bad reviews that it can damage your face and it can affects your faces fat & muscle. Why does this happen? Is there type of skin that are not candidate for Ultherapy?

I am a potential customer. While there are success stories, there are many stories on Real Self and other forums about people dissatisfied with Ultherapy. Worse then that, there are multiple stories where this procedure permanently damaged a persons appearance. While there will be a degree of dissatisfaction with any procedure done, this is concerning for a procedure with relatively low satisfaction rate that is expensive and can potentially negatively affect a persons appearance permanently

Ima 37 year old woman who has noticed the begging of a saggy neck. I've been told that the best options are either rf infini microneedling or ultherapy. Upon researching these treatments, I've come across horror stories about facial fat loss & scaring. My concern is causing more damage. Should I go for it or try microneedling with prp in hopes that that may help a bit?

Im not sure why drs are not taking a stand on ulthera being preformed by very poorly trained people, if this machine can be only purchased by a Dr and is a surgical machine class 3-4 from what i understand, why is it in medispa's which i might be a idiot that prior to experencing adverse affects did not know the power of this treatment!!
