Eyelids & neck - Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Plasma Pen? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I’m starting to see some sagging skin on the eyelids and my neck. What would be the best procedure to tighten the skin for these areas? Morpheus8, Ultherapy or Plasma Pen? Or any other suggestions? Thanks Nadine

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

In the majority of people does looseness of the face and the neck that we see is associated with either the aging process (loss of volume) or rapid or massive weight loss. In my opinion, the single best way to restore the use full appearance of the face, especially in an individual who’s been at more or less the same weight is with the use of fat grafting. a proper type of fat needs to be removed from an area of the body where it’s present, processed, and then re-injected into the areas of the face that require it, the most, based on the photographs of that individual at a much younger age. When fat grafting is performed by a plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in fat grafting techniques, their results are extremely natural and practically permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from New York, City, Plastic, Surgery .
