Does Ultherapy treatment make a future neck lift more challenging? (Photo)

January 31, 2020
Asked By:ElizabethP8 in Washington, DC

From my research I am learning that neck lifts (platysmaplasty) are more challenging after you've had RF microneedling because of damage to the platysma muscles. Is this true? AND would it be true for ultrasound as well? I had ultherapy a few years ago. Will I have a worse outcome than a patient who never had ultherapy? Thank you
