Thread lifts, Kybella, previous liposuction, Facetite, Ultherapy, and any energy-based device will produce scar tissue in the tissue planes where surgical dissection occurs, which can make the procedure more of a challenge. Facetite, Ultherapy, and other energy-based devices also disrupt the blood supply to the skin, which makes you more prone to some complications in the post-operative period. It is important to let Dr. Velargo know if you have had any of these procedures (or any procedure for that matter) performed on the face or neck so that a proper individualized plan may be made for you to minimize the risks involved. Dr. Velargo has successfully performed facelifts and neck lifts on patients that have had these procedures in the past and is well versed in the nuances of subsequent surgery.
