Can I have Ultherapy if I have titanium plates in my head above my right ear and dental implants?

Question

I had a craniotomy six years back and have titanium plates in my head above my right ear. I also have titanium dental implants. Can I have Ultherapy? I want to do whole face and neck Ultherapy (ULFIT) procedure for tightening and lifting of the forehead, eye area, cheeks, jowls, wrinkles and double chin.

Hi Shireen,

Yes you may have Ultherapy as with the titanium implants that you have.  Make sure to let your physician know about the implants.  Good luck and be well, enjoy your facial and neck rejuvenation.

Thank you for your question! One of the biggest benefits of Ultherapy is the ability to see the area you are treating  via ultrasound! The energy from Ulthera only penetrates 4.5 mm, so it would typically not be deep enough to effect any type of titanium dental implants. As far as above your ear, we would not be treating that area so it should not cause issue. However I do recommend setting up a consultation with an experienced technician in your area to make sure you are an ideal candidate.
