How Often Do Patients Still Get Neck-lifts After Ulthera?

If I have an ulthera procedure to reshape my neck will I ever need to have another neck-lift procedure? Is this a procedure that is better to have done while I'm younger for best long term results? Would having it done before a certain age reduce the likelihood of needing surgery?

Ulthera and neck lifts -some might do better with surgery

Ulthera is a great procedure and option for most patients, however some with a greater degree of skin excess/laxity will benefit more from surgical options. Consultation with your physician should explain your best options and also reasonable expectations based on the degree of aging and laxity. It's up to you to make the best informed decision for the procedure that best suits you. Neck lifts can be performed later on after an ultherapy treatment, and ulthera can also be performed after... more

Longevity of Ulthera

Ulthera is a wonderful procedure, and its effects are expected to last 18 months to 2 years. It is important to remember that Ulthera is a much less invasive procedure than a Facelift or Necklift and the results will not last as long. That having been said, the lack of downtime is often in line with the busy schedules of well informed patients. I describe Ulthera, in my practice, as a niche procedure for those without the time or the indications for a Facelift, but who... more

Ulthera is best for the neck with less sagging and better skin

Ultherapy is an effective procedure for the neck with less sagging and earlier aging. It is also an alternative for patients who do not desire to undergo a more invasive procedure. While there are "home runs" with Ultherapy, average expectations are that the procedure provides an "uplift" for the neck, and not a "neck lift". Your thought that the procedure often works better when younger is valid. The jury is still out about whether performing non-invasive procedures... more

Ultherapy for neck lifting

It is realistic to expect that, as Ulthera does not provide the same amount of lifting as a neck lift with one, or more treatments, that you may wish to have further treatment in the future, whether with additional Ulthera in 6 to 12 months, or more, or with other treatment such as surgery. Results are better with Utlherapy in patients whose skin has not yet lost elasticity, so the older you are and more sundamaged, and heavy smokers, will not get as good a result as someone... more

Ulthera as a Pre-Emptive Strike Against Future Face and Neck Lifting Surgery

Hi, Ulthera is a unique tool that can be used to tighten and lift the skin and muscles of the neck, face, and brows. It is most effective in treating the earliest signs of aging in women and men. Those signs are loosness of the neck, early jowling, and mid-cheek hollowness. Patients who are treated early, who maintain their treatments over the years, and who keep up with facial volume replacement...may not require surgical lifting. There will always be... more
