Does Ulthera help dissolve or help with silicone in the cheeks?

Unfortunately there are many people in your position.  Free silicone in tissues destroys local vascularity and erodes healthy tissue.  This can happen quickly or over years/decaces depending on the amount placed and the location and depth it is placed.  I rescue patients with free silicone using a combination of fat/stem cell grafting and carefully planned excision depending on the location and quality of tissues.  Ulthera will only cause further devascularization and scarring and should be avoided.  I hope this helps!All the best,Rian A.

Silicone is a permanent injectable filler (that is not FDA-approved for that purpose).  Once injected, the silicone remains in the body forever.  If any issues, like bumps, do develop, they can be difficult to treat.  I have not used Ultherapy to try and treat silicone bumps on the face, but I do not think that it would help.  Sometimes, bumps that form from silicone need to be surgically removed.
