Ultherapy is not contraindicated on the neck or face in patients who have had previous breast cancer. I would simply not do the procedure while you are under chemotherapy or radiation. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Ultherapy should not be a problem for someone taking Femara as it is a non invasive treatment. You can always double check with your oncologist. Good luck to you.
Ultherapy is not contraindicated in patients with active breast cancer or those who are being treated with oral chemotheray. However, it would be prudent to wait until such treatment in completed. Since patients typically take something like tamoxifen for 5 years or so, you could get it during that time. I don't recommend it if you are getting intravenous chemotherapy.
There is typically little to no recovery time with some redness lasting a few hours after Ultherapy. If swelling continues and does not lessen, consider revisiting your doctor.

The amount of heat generated from Ulthera could cause an outbreak with cold sores. I would pre-medicate with an antibiotic on preventative measure.
