Is It Safe to Undergo Ultherapy After Cheek/Jaw Implants?

Ultherapy can be tailored to your specific concerns and anatomy. A cookie cutter approach is not advisable over implants.  We have found Ulthera to be an outstanding addition to our facelift and necklift patients. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Hi Bean,

You are in luck!  It is safe to undergo Ultherapy with jaw and cheek implants in place.  We are able to visualize the implants with ultrasound and not treat directly over them.  We have treated many patients with facial implants with excellent results.  Good luck and be well.

The advantage of Ultherapy is that it is a safe procedure in that physicians are able to view the structures below the skin prior to treating that area with the ultrasonic energy. We see the different layers with a monitor using ultrasound and a line is shown at what depth that particular transducer will reach. As long as the energy is targeted above the implant, there shouldn't be a problem with Ultherapy.
