When can I get surgery after Ultherapy?

Ulthera will not be adversely affected by anesthesia during your shoulder surgery. Ulthera is a non surgical lifting procedure for the neck, brows, and face. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Collagen production won't be prevented by having sedation or general anesthesia. The Ultherapy you had should continue to help produce new collagen despite your shoulder surgery. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Ultherapy outcomes are not adversely affected by general anesthesia. Just like anesthesia is not likely to reduce collage production after surgical procedures (gallbladder, hernia, face lift, etc etc), anesthesia is not likely to reduce collage stimulation after Ultherapy. 

I am aware of no data to suggest that surgery in another area or anesthesia for that matter will have any effect (beneficial or detrimental) on any Ultherapy treatment. The mechanisms of actions of these different processes should have no bearing on one another.  Rest assured that you can certainly undergo your shoulder surgery without any compromise to the effect of your Ultherapy treatment. Best of luck with everything.
