Will Ultherapy 1 month after chin liposuction interfere with results?

Question

I had chin lipo before one month and now im thinking to do ultherapy, my question is does ultherapy interfere with chin lipo in this duration? (one month) furthermore i still have some hard lumps under my chin after chin lipo so does ultherapy will make those hard lumps worse or increase the chance to have more scar tissue and fibrosis?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Hello, Interesting case, chin liposuction, will cause always skin inflammation during the next 1 to 3 months, i will always recommend a procedure such as ultherapy since its non invasive, it will create collagen after 21 days and make noticeable results after 3 to 6 months of the treatment. This will improve muscular and skin layers and the chin lipo only removes fat from fat layer. So it will achieve better results creating skin tightening and muscle lifting as well. The lumps and fibrosis can even be better after ultherapy. Good luck following up with your surgeon and with the ultherapy results.
