I've heard that if ultrasound lifting is done incorrectly, it can cause the cheeks to sink like a skull. Is that true?

If a precise diagnosis of skin thickness and fat layer is made, it can help prevent cheek sinking. Ultherapy uses DeepSee™ imaging to check the depth of the fat and SMAS layers, avoiding areas that need to maintain volume or adjusting depth, while Coolsoniq safely targets areas with less fat using 3-stage depth control from 1.5mm to 4.5mm. (However, results may vary based on individual skin conditions.)
