How does Ultherapy work to correct botched fat grafts? (Photos)

Question

I had fat grafts to my cheeks and sides of my face around my mouth in 2012. They were overfilled and have continued to grow and are very lumpy. I can’t even smile the same now because of the volume of the cheeks and sides of my mouth. Some lumps are hard. I’ve seen some PS’s recommending Ultherapy to improve this. How does this work and what do I tell the person performing the procedure to achieve the best results not only to reduce the volume but smooth the vast amount of irregularities.

this needs lasers, morpheus for tightening and long term at home dermarolling and peels (see links).  plasma pen can also help.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
