Ultherapy can be done after chin implants and Radiesse and Juvederm

Ultherapy is not done on the chin, proper, so having a chin implant would not pose any contraindication to having Ulthera. Currently, until the investigations of the effect of Ulthera on fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse are complete, we recommend awaiting six months, at least after fillers before Ulthera is done immediately over the area. However, if the fillers are done on the smile creases or lips and not the mid cheeks, then there is no problem as the Ulthera... more

Ultherapy in Patient with Chin Implant and Facial Injectable Fillers

Hi Porky, Care must be exercised to avoid treating over areas with surgical implants such as chin and cheek implants with Ultherapy. We have treated many patients with chin implants, but avoid treating over the implant. Avoiding the implant is relatively easy by both palpation and visualization on the ultrasound DEEPSEE monitor.

Ultherapy After Chin Implant

A previous implant will not preclude you from having Ultherapy. However, complete disclosure of your medical and aesthetic procedural history is in everyone's best interest.

Ultherapy and Implants

Having filler or implants does not preclude one from having Ultherapy, however, you do not want to treat directly over either. The reason is that the ultrasound will effect the structure of the implant or filler.

Ultherapy can be performed safely with chin implants

Hi Palm Beach. Yes, you can certainly have Ultherapy if you have had a previous chin implant. Make sure you inform your physician of all previous surgeries and health issues. Your Radiess and Juvederm should not effect the ulthera treatment, but you may need more filler soon! Hope that helps!
