Hello.
Mind Dermatology, improving the essence of skin with care
Chief Dermatologist at Mind Dermatology
I am Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years' experience.
“If you look closely, the left and
right sagging are different,
so the face looks asymmetrical.”
“I don't want the same number of shots on both sides;
I want to receive Ulthera tailored to my face.”
For those concerned about facial asymmetry, if the sagging of the jawline differs between sides or one side of the face looks noticeably heavier,they often say so.
Habits such as chewing on one side or usual posture can also affect facial differences.
In such cases, it's important to examine not only overall facial firmness but also the areas where the difference and sagging of the jawline are most pronounced,as well.

Today, for those considering lifting treatments,
at Yeonhui-dong Dermatology Clinic when performing the Ulthera procedure, how to assess left-right asymmetryand the process of planning the procedure according to the facewill be explained.

01. Before the Ulthera procedure,
why you should start by checking the left and right jawlines
Each person has differences in the subcutaneous fat thickness and amount of muscle use between the two sides of the face.There are differences.

As a result, one jawline may appear more sagged or the contours on each side may feel different.
Therefore, when planning an Ulthera procedure at Yeonhui-dong Dermatology Clinic, the initial step is to examine the degree of sagging and the skin condition on both sides of the faceIt is necessary.
For example, even if 300 shots are performed, they are not automatically divided into 150 shots on each side,
the number of shots and the treated areas can be planned according to which area shows more pronounced sagging.
The important thing is not simply matching the shot count on both sides, but choosing the treatment direction based on the condition of the faceitself.

02. Ulthera treatment considering retaining ligaments and direction of sagging
Ulthera treatment
One of the structures that supports the skin and the fat layer is the retaining ligaments.
As you age, when the support of the skin and surrounding tissues weakens, the fat and skin can sag downward, blurring the jawline.This can happen.
Ulthera delivers ultrasound energy to specific depths within the skin to create thermal coagulation points,
inducing tissue contraction and lifting.

At this time, rather than only looking at the skin surface, the facial supporting structures and the directions in which sagging appearsshould also be considered.
If you examine the differences between the two sides of the face and deliver energy to the necessary areas, it can help refine the jawline and facial contours.
However, asymmetry can arise from various causes besides skin sagging,so
rather than judging based only on the retaining ligaments, it is important to evaluate the overall facial structure together.
03. Number of shots and treatment depth tailored to skin thickness and fat volume
Skin thickness and the depth of the fat layer differ by area of the face.

Therefore, an energy depth that is suitable on one side is not necessarily equally suitable on the opposite side.
Yeonhui-dong Dermatology Ulthera offers tips with various depths such as 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm,
so an appropriate depth should be chosen according to the skin structure and the treatment area.
Real-time ultrasound imagingcan be used to check the skin's internal structure and help determine the treatment depth.
Choosing the treatment depth that matches skin thickness and fat volume, as well as the number of shots, is important for natural contour improvement.

Facial asymmetry is not something that can be resolved simply by matching the number of shots on both sides.
It's important to consider the degree of sagging of each jawline, skin thickness, and fat volume together to determine the appropriate treatment approach for you.
If you are considering Yeonhui-dong Dermatology Ulthera,
rather than comparing only the number of shots, check how thoroughly they evaluate your facial characteristics when planning the procedure.
We will provide care with sincerity.

Question |
Answer |
|
Q. I have significant left-right asymmetry. Can the Ulthera shots be distributed differently? |
A. Yes. After assessing the degree of sagging on each jawline and the skin condition, the number of shots can be distributed differently to the areas that need them. For example, if sagging on one jawline is more pronounced, the treatment can be planned to allocate more shots to that area. |
|
Q. When do improvements in asymmetry or contour become noticeable after the procedure? |
A. Immediately after the procedure, you may feel the jawline is lifted due to a contraction response from thermal stimulation. Over the following 1–2 months, changes in the jawline and skin elasticity can be observed as collagen remodeling progresses. |
|
Q. Can one side become more swollen or look more asymmetric immediately after the procedure? |
A. Yes. Temporary swelling or redness can occur after the procedure, and each side may respond differently so one side could appear more swollen.. If significant asymmetry remains or becomes more pronounced after the swelling subsides, have the medical facility that performed the procedure check your condition. |
