Ulthera should not cause any problems with your chin implant. However, seek a plastic surgeon familiar with both procedures to avoid any issues.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
As the normal facial treatment of Ultherapy for facial lifting spares the chin, there is no reason to avoid having Ultherapy because of a chin implant. With the new 1.5mm transducer, the chin can be treated as it is more superficial energy than the 3 and 4.5mm deep transducers. The 1.5 mm transducer could safely be done on top of the chin implant as the implant is deeper. You should, however, ask permission from your plastic surgeon who inserted the implant before you undergo Ultherapy.

Therefore, we can see the outline of jawline patients and can also see any implant if there is any. One just has to avoid performing a treatment directly on the implant and it should be fine. Dr. H
There are several different types of chin implants and if the implant does not extend significantly onto the jawline, there is no contraindication to use of Ulthera; however delivering the ultrasound energy over the implant may damage the implant or more likely have less that optimal effect on the tissue being treated.
Thank you for your question.Two different technologies with some overlap of the treated areas. HIFU of Ultherapy does affect the dermis and SMA muscles, sparing the epidermis. The Nd YAG 1064 can cause injury to the most superficial layers of the skin.It is best to space them at least...
The question of which device works best for non-surgical skin tightening is a good one to ask, and many people will share many opinions depending on which devices they have and what their overall experience with the device has been. It is also interesting to note that the patient's presenting...
It would be very unusual that you could not see your dentist the day after ultherapy. Maybe it might be slightly sensitive or tender to the touch but not a reason that you would have to avoid seeing the dentist.
