How to treat laxity after FaceTite and Morpheus 8? (Photos)

Question

I am experiencing laxity and shadowing on my lower face after three rounds of Morpheus 8 and one FaceTite procedure. I am almost 11 months post-op and would like to understand my options for revision and tightening this now loose skin. I am 40 years old.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

if you want a dramatic change necklift/facelift, Implants and fillers will give you that. noninvasive will improve the area and facetite, threads, morpheus, and fillers can be used.  start at home dermarolling to tighten you skin, see emeragecismetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily and recommend MTS roller with anteageMD ampules daily (see dermarolling package).

With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles.  You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands
3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening
7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening
8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
see an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.

Dear Austin,
Some non surgical technologies can be disappointing, and don’t work for everyone.
Minimally invasive technologies with Vaser liposuction and Renuvion j-plasma skin tightening through a small incision under the chin, not using stitches, can shrink wrap the skin to the next level, in one procedure, for longer lasting results.
