Ultherapy after buccal fat removal?

Question

Hello, I recently had a buccal fat removal surgery, like three weeks ago. Is it too soon to have a mid-low face ultherapy treatment? How much should I wait? Thanks

Thank you for your question.  It has been enough time for you to move forward with the Ultherapy procedure.  Best of luck!

As long as you are not too swollen, then it should be fine to get the ultherapy done as the ultherapy works on a different level than where the buccal fat is.

Mark S. Wilson, MD · Answer

Our practice would advise you to wait the full month after surgery before proceeding with Ultherapy to ensure all swelling has resolved. It's always best to book a consultation with a certified medical provider to evaluate your individual situation. Best of luck!
