Question

Hi, I'm a bit frustrated about the sagging on my jawline and was wondering what could help. I also have loose skin under my eye and am thinking about lower blepharoplasty. I'm happy to receive your recommendations and thanks :)

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

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.

From your photo it appears you would be a good candidate for Morpheus8.  This treatment combines microneedling and RF technology to improve overall skin tone and texture.  Three sessions are recommended for optimal results.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Based on your picture, it looks like you could benefit from FaceTite. FaceTite is a new procedure that is comperable to a surgical facelift, without the scars. FaceTite provides dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck, which was previously only attainable through a surgical procedure such as a facelift.

Any areas on the face and neck with saggy skin can be treated. This includes the double chin, jowl line and other areas with deep lines and loose skin.

I would recommend to consult with a skilled board certified facial plastic surgeon for the best outcome.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

AccuTite and Morpheus would be a great combination treatment to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of the lower eyelid bags
