Ultherapy is safe in patients with hip and knee replacement and metal hardware in place. We have not seen any issue with increased edema or discomfort. I often inject fillers and perform laser surgery at the same time. In that case I add an oral antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection if there is metal hardware in the hip. I hope this was helpful.
