Why does Ultherapy cause eyelid ptosis in almost 50 percent of patients? (Photo)

July 29, 2015
Asked By:ultherapyfreak in Manhattan, NY

6 month follow up picture I have seen dozens of photos of Ultherapy before and afters with the same problem. My doctor won't address this. The brows rise and the eyelid drops. How could the entire industry miss this, OR think WE were going to? Please message me and I can show you dozens more. I'd love to hear from professionals, not doctors working FOR Ultherapy, which is all I seem to get answers from. Save it! I suspect the muscles above the eye are contracting pulling down the lid? Will this resolve?
