No concern for treatment

Edgar Franklin Fincher, MD, PhD answers: Thermage on neck after part of thyroid was removed?

Can I do Thermage on my neck if I had a part of my thyroid removed? It was removed some years back. I'm currently on thyroxine medication. Thanks a lot for your response.

 There is no concern for having a Thermage treatment after having part of your thyroid removed.  Typically, the area around the thyroid is not treated anyway to avoid any complications.  Thermage on the neck is for a specific patient population so you should have a consultation with an experienced physician to make sure that the results you want can be provided by Thermage.  Other treatments to consider are Pelleve" for a non surgical treatment, neck liposuction or SmartLipo for excess fat and early skin laxity or various surgical procedures for more advanced neck laxity.
