Eyelid Thermage and Ulthera before/after eyelid surgery. Any suggestions?

Question

I am having lower transconjuctival blepharoplasty with laser resurfacing and skin pinch at the end of next week. Could I still undergo Eyelid Thermal in my upper lids and Ultherapy in my forehead before the surgery? If not, how long should I wait after my surgery to undergo these two procedures? Your advice in much appreciated!

Thank you for your question Jorge, It is possible to have an upper eyelid Thermage and forehead ultherapy  one week prior to your lower blepharoplasty. It might even be more cost effective to have a forehead Thermage at the same time as your upper eyelid Thermage and avoid  the Ultherapay. Do read up on Ultherapy. Or you might need both depending on the amount of aging present, which is hard to judge without a photo. Make sure you are evaluated by a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who specializes both in eyelid surgery and also very experienced with the outcomes of  non-invasive treatments to determine what is the best treatment plan for your needs.Best of luck in your quest !Dr. Anna PetropoulosBoston's North Shore, Danvers

JorgeDaniel,Neither eyelid thermage nor ulthera are likely to be very valuable for you.Ask your surgeon for other options. There are many more effective and valuable procedures.

Having Thermage of your upper eyelids and Ultherapy of your forehead prior to your lower eyelid procedures should not be a problem in my opinion.  I would mention your plan to your surgeon however, just to make sure your particular surgeon has no concerns.

Thank you for sharing your question. It should be fine to have the procedures performed prior to lower blepharoplasty, but discuss this with your surgeon first.Good luck,

Yes, It should be no problem to have thermage of your upper eyelids and Ultherapy of the forehead a week prior to your procedure. I would recommend you letting your surgeon be aware of your plans as well.
