Asked By:thirdly in Florida, FL

I have 2benign tumors on both lymph nodes in neck. Already had mri &biopsy confirm tumors not cancerous! But I have jowls double chin sagging neck skin. Can only do nonsurgical I want to guarantee ultherapy doesn't cause tumor growth before getting it on my chin/neck. Online research is divided half say ultherapy does cause tumor growth half say doesn't. Which is it? Will ultherapy cause tumors to grow or is it safe to get over tumors? What is 100% safe procedure that won't cause tumor growth?
