Ultherapy for sagging skin around chin and cheek area?

Question

I’m 52 years old. I had mini threads placed in my lower and mid face 3–4 years ago, and I received Sculptra 7–8 months ago. Recently, my skin has started sagging around my chin and cheek area. I’ve heard good things about Ultherapy and Rf Microneedling but on RealSelf a couple of doctors mentioned that it can cause fat pad loss. Now I’m scared to have it done. Please guide me.

Thanks for your question. Each case is different and you would need an in-person evaluation to determine which treatments would be best to address your concerns. Devices like Ultherapy and RF Microneedling are tools which can produce different results in different hands. Both can cause fat loss if not used properly. I stopped performing Ultherapy a few years ago because there is a much more narrow candidate pool of patients who actually benefit from it compared to other newer technology. I have found the results of RF microneedling to be more precise and effective. But, you really need to find an experienced physician who can customize the treatment to your needs, and not just any med spa which does a cookie cutter approach for everyone. Hope this helps.
