Is Ultherapy a Safe Procedure to Do After Having Neck Lipo?

You should not experience bruising with Ultherapy due to loss of fat from liposuction of your neck.  You should not experience bruising following Ultherapy treatment. Ultherapy can be a good secondary procedure following liposuction and often helps with loose skin in the neck region depending on the elasticity of your skin.  Consult with your plastic surgeon to see if Ultherapy may be of benefit to you based on the condition of your skin.  If not, a necklift may be necessary to give you the desired result.  Good luck to you.

There is no contraindication to performing Ultherapy after liposculpture to the neck orit can be combined on the same day as neck lipo, performing it immediately before. Ultherapy and liposuction together can provide more comprehensive results, as Ultherapy can tighten and lift loose skin while liposuction provides contour and fat reduction. Ultherapy and liposculpture can be a terrific synergistic combination to improve areas that have both skin looseness and fatty deposits like the neck or arms. If done on the same day, Ultherapy is performed first on the skin surface before the tumescent anesthesia, which could interfere with the transmission depth of the ultrasound wave. The procedures could also be performed separately a week or month apart if preferred.

There is no contraindication to performing Ultherapy after liposculpture to the neck. I have even combined it on the same day as neck lipo, performing it immediately before. There is no reason why one would have more or less bruising if there is less fat, as bruising is a result of hitting small vessels, which can happen regardless, and typically can be avoided because one see the vessels on the monitor. Ultherapy is approved for lifting neck skin, I have used it a lot in my practice with great results.

Bruising after Ultherapy is quite uncommon to begin with regardless of body habitus.  I have done Ultherapy on very thin patients as well as those a bit heavier.  There is no difference in bruising based on fat content.  It does work quite well with skin laxity in the neck but results will vary based upon the amount of laxity present.

Ultherapy provides us with various depth of treatment "heads" that we can use.  the least deep is 1.5 mm .  the deepest is 4.5 mm.  There is also a 3 mm head.  I would see the doctor, and they will adjust the depth of your treatment accordingly.  If there is enough tissue, the deepest head 4.5 mm can be used, but if not you can still obtain treatment with the shallower heads.
