Can You Have Ulthera on the Lower Face if You Have a Chin Implant?

I have had several patients who have chin implants who have had an Ulthera treatment without any problems. The nice thing about Ulthera is that we can see the depth of the treatment. 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.

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.
