33 y/o, female & had double jaw surgery, what's the best procedure for skin tightening? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I'm a 33 year old female. I had a double jaw surgery 1.5 years ago and have noticed I got loose jowls after. I spoke with a surgeon who said I'm not sagging enough for a facelift and recommended profound RF or Morpheus. I have metal pieces keeping my jaw bones held together so I'm wondering which type of treatment would be best for me to address my loose jowls. Thank you!

Hi! You would be a great candidate for Morpheus which is great for skin tightening and can address your concerns about your jowls. This is a great treatment because it uses specific settings tailored to each patient's needs. Morpheus will be a great option for you to tighten the skin and is minimally invasive! I recommend for you to meet with a provider prior to treatment to assess where your metal implants are located to avoid those areas.

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.
