Thermage with goretex implants?

Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, you can likely have Thermage with cheek Gore-Tex implants, but there are some precautions to consider.
Gore-Tex is non-metallic and doesn’t conduct heat, so it’s generally safer than metal implants when using radiofrequency. However, Thermage does deliver heat to deeper skin layers, and this could potentially cause localized swelling, discomfort, or tissue tightening around the implant, which may slightly affect its position if not securely placed.
You’re likely a good candidate if:
-Your implants are well-healed, stable, and placed deep enough.
-You haven’t had issues like shifting, inflammation, or visible edges.
-Your provider is experienced and avoids aggressive passes directly over the implants.

It’s best to consult both your aesthetic provider and, if possible, the surgeon who placed the implants to ensure personalized safety.

Best of luck!
