I'm 49. I had Ultherapy done 3 months ago and haven't seen any improvement yet. I have decided to have Lipo to get rid of the pocket of fat under my chin (being done in 5 days) as I discovered afterward that Ultherapy wouldn't really help that anyhow. My skin on my neck is loosening up as I age and I hate it. Will these two procedures be enough to tighten it and smooth it out or would I need something else also?
Answer: Skin does tighten somewhat after liposuctions. Yes you would see some tightening of the skin after liposuction and it definitely would be worth it for you to get liposuction.

Answer: Double Chin Treatment / Laxity-- SmartLipo/VASER/ThermiRF, Botox, Venus Legacy, Kybella In my practice we do liposuction with VASER here to get the most skin tightening and follow up with ThermiRF if needed. Botox prior to treatment helps the end results and afterwards I suggest venus legacy for additional tightening and quick healing. I suggest you see a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in neck/jawline contouring. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Extra fat under the chin is best treated by submental lipectomy, not nonsurgical alternatives. Unfortunately, your Ultherapy was a waste of your time and money. You need a submental lipectomy. This consists of liposuction, direct excision of extra fat under your chin, and a platysma muscle repair (plication). You will likely not be satisfied with anything less (such as liposuction alone). Ultimately you will want to consider a facelift to tighten your skin simultaneously, but you may be able to hold off on that for 5 years or so and have the submental lipectomy now. I have attached a link to this portion of my website, where I discuss these issues in more detail.

Answer: No nonsurgical way to significantly tighten skin. Treatment with a radiofrequency such Ulthera Creates swelling in the dermis that gives the appearance of tightening. In the end it does not shrink the skin. Excess skin will need to be surgically removed which is part of the facelift.
