Can I have Ultherapy on my neck after a total hip replacement?

As others have already mentioned, undergoing an
Ultherapy skin tightening treatment on your neck is fine after having hip
replacement surgery. Ultherapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that
doesn't pose a risk of infection. It involves little to no downtime and is an
effective alternative to a neck lift or facelift for the right patients. Your
first step should be to find a board-certified plastic surgeon and schedule a
consultation, during which the surgeon can determine whether you are a good
candidate for Ultherapy. Good luck.

Ultherapy is a safe and non invasive treatment for facial and neck tightening. It would be safe to do after a hip replacement. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

It is safe to have Ultherapy on your face or neck after a total hip replacement.  However, I would make sure you have fully healed from your hip replacement before your Ultherapy treatment.  For optimal results, you want to ensure your body can focus its resources on neocollagensis (collagen production) from the Ultherapy treatment versus healing post hip replacement surgery.  Contraindications to Ultherapy are open wounds or lesions, severe cystic acne in the treatment area, or implanted active devices like pacemakers or defibrillators near the targeted area.In order to maximize the positive inflammatory response created by Ultherapy avoid the use of anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen and Celebrex for 1 month following the procedure. This inflammatory response is necessary to allow your body to stimulate collagen fiber formation and modeling.To maintain and maximize the results, I recommend a prescription strength skin care regimen. Medical grade skin care products stimulate collagen production from the outside- in, which typically potentiate the effects of your Ultherapy treatment.Good Luck!

As there is no invasive component to Ultherapy, nor risk of infection, there is no contraindication to performing Ultherapy facial or neck tightening after hip replacement surgery.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's

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.

You can Ulthera after any joint replacement.  This is ultrasound treatment and won't affect it. 

An Ultherapy treatment to your face, neck or chest would be fine to have after a total hip replacement.  There would be no interaction between the two.  

Thank you for your question.you can get your Ultherapy after hip replacement without adverse effects. They are not related unless you are on coumadin where careful technique is appropriate to reduce bruising.Read the Ultherapy ebook on the link below.dr. karamanoukian

Thank you for your question.  Yes, you can have Ultherapy after joint replacement surgery.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Ulthera is safe after a total hip replacement.  The ultrasound treatment will have no effect on the prosthesis, and there is no need for any antibiotic pre-medication.
