Or should I be concerned over the permanent platysmaplasty sutures "melting," for lack of a better term?
Answer: Ultherapy after a neck lift
Many surgeons would probably wait several months after surgical neck lifting before submitting the patient to ultherapy to allow the swelling to decrease and for the new collagen to form.

Answer: Ultherapy Safe & Effective After Platysmaplasty Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is safe after a necklift. After a number of weeks, the muscles heal together and are less reliant on the sutures. Further, you will not likely reach temperatures likely to harm sutures. Ultherapy would likely complement your necklift results. Good luck.

Answer: Ulthera After Platysmaplasty
The beauty of Ultherapy is that one can see what they are treating. Therefore, sutures should be able to be visualized, depending on what kind of suture was used. Most often Vicryl sutures are used, which last no more than 6 months. This is the minimal amount of time one would most likely want to wait after a SMAS facelift before electing to do an Ultherapy procedure anyway, a year would be preferable.

Answer: Ultherapy on neck after surgery is OK if done right
With a platysmaplasty, in which the muscle in the neck responsible for "turkey wattles" is sewn together, the sutures are in the midline. Ultherapy in the neck is best targeted lateral to the midline so should not be done directly over the underlying sutures.

Answer: Ultherapy after Neck Lifting I would definitely consult your plastic surgeon before signing up for any new procedures. There is residual swelling after Ultherapy especially in areas of prior surgery where the lymphatic drainage may be altered. Read the Ulthearpy ebook provided on the link below.
