I am seriously considering on getting Ultherapy soon; full face and neck. I have read on Realself that some women said they had loss/melting of fat which aged their face dramatically. Also, some complaints of sagging and rippling of skin. I am having a Board Certified doctor do my treatment. I had a facelift 3 yrs ago with a revision 2 months later. Will I see an improvement in the rippling under my chin, and, will I see the skin on my chin get tighter? Thank you for your input.

Answer: No fat atrophy after Ultherapy We have performed thousands of Ultherapy treatments in my office, and I have never seen an incidence of fat atrophy. I cannot comment on the experiences of others, but I can say that if Ultherapy is performed correctly by an experienced practitioner, fat atrophy does not occur. Rather, Ultherapy is an excellent non-invasive tissue tightening procedure. It is hard to tell from your photos if this will be an effective treatment for you. Since you have undergone a facelift in the past, I would recommend that you consult with a facial plastic or plastic surgeon (who also offers non-surgical options such as Ultherapy) to discuss your options. Hope this helps.

Answer: Ultherapy Results Hi Shilof,Ultherapy works by heating small targeted amounts of soft tissue below the surface of the skin to a point where the tissue will contract and the body will create new collagen. When done correctly, there should be damage to the skin. It's important to do your research when you are exploring the options of a cosmetic facial procedure. A facial plastic surgeon is a cosmetic doctor that is an expert strictly in the head and neck. Focusing on the head and neck area means that the specialty area is concentrated and the surgeon is extremely familiar with your previous face lift procedure and will understand what measures to take in order for you to achieve optimal results with your Ultherapy procedures. In short, Ultherapy should not cause fat atrophy because it incorporates the use of ultrasound which enables practitioners to see the layers of skin, ensuring the energy is delivered to where it is supposed to go without damaging surrounding tissue cells. Good luck!
