I looked like SpongeBob the day after getting 200 shots of Ultherapy (3-week review on swelling and downtime)

Now that the first digit of my age has changed, I've definitely realized how scary time flies. I've never really had any cosmetic procedures done, but I decided I should start taking care of myself from now on, so I finally made up my mind and tried Ultherapy. It was performed under general anesthesia, so I have no memory of the procedure itself. (If you are planning to receive this, please make sure to check if there is a board-certified anesthesiologist present.) When I opened my eyes, I didn't have any bruises, but my face felt numb and my senses were a bit dull due to the heat. What really surprised me was the swelling. I'm usually someone who doesn't get puffy even after eating ramen and going to sleep, but when I looked in the mirror the next day, I had turned into a square SpongeBob. Even if you don't swell easily like me, you should be prepared to be swollen for at least a week. There is quite a bit of tightness as well. For the first two weeks, it felt tight and numb when I touched it, but it subsided a bit around the third week. But the strange thing is, after about four weeks, people around me started noticing first, saying, "Your face looks slimmer." I'm naturally on the thin side, so it looks like this to me, but I think it might be a bit more noticeable for those with fuller faces. For those of you who have had Ultherapy, how long did the swelling last? I was wondering if I'm the only one who looks like SpongeBob.
