When can I get surgery after Ultherapy?

Asked By:Happyshopgal

Hi, I have Ultherapy scheduled for next week (very exited), and it just happened that I have to have a shoulder surgery performed in a couple of weeks (and was told that I will be put to sleep during the surgery). Would the anesthesia used for the shoulder surgery affects the effectiveness of Ultherapy or collagen-building in any way? Thank you for your feedback.
