Venus Legacy VS Ultherapy for jaw line?

Question

What are the primary differences in Venus Legacy and Ultherapy? I had a fat transfer 14 months ago now and my jaw line is still much too full. I have seen TEN doctors, and 8/10 suggested nothing surgical- the other two suggested (one a full face lift, and the other a short scar lift) - but I'm only 31. I am wondering which would best serve my jawline, and if it is something I move forward with, should I be worried about any adverse effects?

Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD · Answer

I have seen incredible results with ultherapy in the jawline, I am unfamiliar with Venus Legacy and spend a significant amount of time looking at new technologies at the national meetings. I generally recommend that patients stick to the noninvasive treatments for facial laxity until they get significantly older than 31 to undergo any kind of face lifting surgery.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

My recommendation for all my patients that are candidates for RF treatments is: thermage (I like better than Ultherapy) first and then follow 2-3 weeks later with a Venus series of treatments.  As well I do botox and fraxel to the neck for rejuvenation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Venus Freeze (Legacy) is a form of radiofrequency (RF), which is also used in Thermage and other noninvasive treatments. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound. Both treatments are based on the idea of thermally stimulating a healing response that leads to collagen remodeling. I switched from RF to Ulthera a few years ago because it can be more precisely focused and targeted where it needs to be. Ulthera remains the only FDA-approved noninvasive device for skin lifting.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I recommend Ultherapy as I have had great success with high frequency ultrasound energy. Alternatively, RF treatments have shown similar efficacy.Seeing 10 consultants is a bit too much. You need to educate yourself if you are that eager to understand the physiology and treatment options. You can do a search on Pubmed, a government website for published scientific literature.
