How long after fat grafting can I get microneedling, Fraxel laser, Ultherapy, etc. done?

Question

I got fat grafting done in my forhead and cheek area about four weeks ago. Now I am interested in skin tightening and acne treatments. I want to do IPL, fraxel, microneedling, facials, chemical peels, Ulthera, and other treatments but I am worried that the heat or something else might dissolve or have some kind of negative effect on my fat grafting. How long should I wait till it is safe to do these kind of treatmemts so it wouldn't effect the fat in my face? Thank you!

Thank you for the detailed question. I prefer to do Fraxel and fat grafting at the same time in the operating room as it is more convenient for the patient. Since you have already had the fat grafting, you could get Fraxel, facials and peels whenever you like. I wouldn't suggest starting Ultherapy until 3 months after fat grafting as this type of procedure penetrates deeper underneath the skin. Ideally, I would have recommended a patient get Ultherapy first, and then fat grafting and Fraxel, because it may decrease the amount of fat the patient needs grafted once the skin is tightened.

Fat graft and fillers can be done after Ultherapy.
Ultherapy will melt the fillers and fat away.
But other lasers can be done after Ultherapy
