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.

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.

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.
Although there may be an effect of reduction in perspiration from surgery on the nervous system, as well as dermal liposuction and (scraping) procedures and excision of the affected skin, there has been a stimulus for the development of non-invasive treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis....
The non invasive tightening and lifting of facial features with Ultherapy ultrasound treatment has evolved over the last several years. Newer transducers allow different levels of the dermis to be treated giving, potentially, a better result. To say that a doctor does a better treatment than a...
Without being able to comment on your particular situation, in general, most people do not see much if any swelling after Ultherapy, but there is a desired inflammatory result that the body heals with. New collagen is produced as a result of this treatment and the inflammatory process induces...
