Ultherapy can be done on the front of the neck
Yes, I have double checked with the scientific advisor of Ulthera, and as there is no deeper penetration than 4.5 millimeters with Ultheapy, as long as the Ultherapy is being done on the front of the neck there should be no problem with the metal plate on the cervical spine. Certainly, no one should treat the back of the neck (off-label) as that would be too close to your plate.

Ulthera should not be a problem
The plates are likely on the spinal column, which is much deeper than the deepest area of treatment reached by the ulthera device (4.5 mm). Of course, you should pursue a consultation with a Facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and confirm this, but it shouldn't be a problem.
