Is HIFU safe on breasts & will it be effective?

Question

I have seen HIFU treatment advertised as a non-surgical breast lift, targeting the breast tissue/skin. I can't find any information online on whether this treatment is safe, but I have read that one should be careful with Ultherapy directly on breasts. Is HIFU safer? Will it be effective?

Hello,Initially, you should be so so careful!!!!! HIFU is not used on breasts. HIFU is used for fat melting; when deep tissues are targeted. In our clinic, oftenly, we use the ULTHERA method in order to melt fat in the jowl area. Shorter ultrasound wavelengths are used to stretch the skin. We also use ULTHERA to tighten the skin on the face, neck and décolleté areas. ULTHERA, is the best and FDA approved technique. HIFU system for tissue tightening with sound waves, can also be used; in areas, such as, inside of the legs, inside the arms and above the knees. However, the only thing that, can be done for the breasts is surgery. Even though some advertisements include for misleading information; such as, breasts being lifted with sound waves or ropes, do not believe in or trust for them. The only way, to realize for breast lifting; is surgery. There are many techniques involved. Professional plastic surgeons will decide for this. Consult for your doctor on this matter.
