I'm considering ulthera for lifting my jowl area, upper & lower cheeks. I have good volume but some sagging.I don't want to lose my natural cheek volume, is this a danger? Also, can it be used above the upper lip for some lip lifting? Thanks.

Answer: Ultherapy does Not cause Facial Volume or Fat loss Ultherapy uses an ultrasound to not only deliver focused energy for treatment, but also allows uses the ultrasound to see what depth the energy is begin delivered so it is very safe for the patient. Energy is either delivered in the dermis (above fat layer) or the SMAS layer (connective tissue layer protecting muscle which is below fat layer). This focused energy is what stimulates collagen production and does not treat fat. With this said, it is important to see someone who has a good amount of experience with this technology and has done a number of procedures. We have been doing this procedure for many years and have not had one patient report fat or facial volume loss.
