Is it better to get Ultherapy before or after a facial fat transfer?

Question

Timothy R. Miller, MD · Answer

Much depends on the timeline you are referring to ( days, weeks, months, etc), but in general it is better to have the Ultherapy performed followed by fat transfer.  The combination of these two treatments can be an excellent facial rejuvenation strategy for patients not needing a surgical procedure. I hope this helps.

Kristin M. Baird, MD · Answer

I would recommend having the Ultherapy treatment before your fat transfer procedure. Ultherapy produces deep heat in order to stimulate collagen production and I would not recommend treatment over recent fillers or fat grafts which may be more susceptible to this heat.  Also, the Ultherapy results will continue to improve over 6 months so you should get a nice result from the Ultherapy and fat transfer combination. Best wishes.

Ultherapy is a great device especially in combination with microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen and tightening. I would recommend treating with Ultherapy prior to fat transfer for optimal results. Please seek an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I would definitely recommend having your Ultherapy treatment first.   Ultherapy can melt fat if doing a deeper treatment.  But, more importantly, I would allow the Ulthera to tighten your skin as much as possible with little resistance before you have it further filled and tightened with fat grafting.  Good Luck

It is best to do Ultherapy before facial fillers in general, including fat grafting. Tightening the skin envelope and underlying structures first will help lift things back into place. Plus you don't want the Ultherapy to melt or damage any of the newly grafted fat, so do it first.
