Ulthera for melting fat at jaw angles? (Photo)

December 3, 2019
Asked By:esk in Chicago, IL

I have fat and sagging skin at the jaw corners (below and next to ears), not the jowls. The fat is sagging below the jaw bone, on top of it, and above it. Many aging people present with that exact problem and their faces appear heavy, fat, and saggy because of that. The facelifts do not remove fat there. Can Ulthera be used there to melt the fat and contract the skin so it clings to the jaw bone?
