I had a thread and feather lift about 10 years ago. Are the threads left in my skin a contraindication for ultherapy?

Question

David Boudreault, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi Novanovina,Although I do not perform either of these procedures, the threads left in your skin are not a clear contraindication to Ultherapy.  Although this may make your results less predictable, I'd imagine you would still see improvement in your overall skin quality and tightness. I'm sure after 10 years, the threads and your lift results have largely disappeared.One interesting thing about Ultherapy, is your provider may be able to see the threads on the ultrasound used for treatment.Hope that helps.Best,Dr. B

I would ask your doctor. I would not recommend ultherapy if the treads were just put in. Make sure you ask your doctor where he put the threads and what he recommends.

I agree that the thread lifts are not a contraindication to having Ultherapy.Inform the physician doing the Ultherapy that you had thread lifts and he/she should be able to visualize it on Deep See technology.See the link below for the Ultherapy ebook.
