I have a small thin face (I'm not overweight) but it's quite fatty and droopy ("pudding face"). I'm 40 and everyone in my family has this predisposition. I have heavy volume sagging into the nasolabial area, and jowls with pockets of excessive fat, not just sag. I'm wondering about doing just FaceTite for tightening and some fat reduction, or as an alternative, Ulthera plus lipodissolve. Does anyone have thoughts on these ideas? Thanks very much for any input.

Without some posted photos very hard to advise. My guess is the therapies you mentioned are a waste of time and $'s. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski

Facial rejuvenation
Without a photo or face to face examination it is impossible to make any specific recommendations. Non-invasive facial skin tightening procedures using lasers, radiofrequency etc. are not substitutes for the old fashioned facelift procedure. They can be of use when there are early aging changes of the face that do not warrant aggressive surgery. Patients continually want more promised and delivered for lower prices, less work, quicker recovery time, less chance of complication and less...
