For Best Results in Radiesse Therapy for Cheeks, Do I Need Ultherapy Tightening As Well?

Revolumization of atrophic faces provides a wonderful rejuvenation. If the patient's skin has also become inelastic and dropped signficantly, then volume with filler is important to three dimensionally correct the aged appearance. Otherwise, just having a face lift can result in a sunken-in face can make it look unhealthy. Ultherapy alone would similarly not address the volume deficit although the lifting might be satisfactory. At this time, we prefer to inject fillers after ultherapy... more
