Neck and lower face tightening, what can I do without filler? (photos)

Question

I'm a 38 year old female with some questions about tightening up my neck and lower face without fillers. 3 months ago I got submental lipo to give more shape to my jawline and neck. I love the results (much better than it was), but have some loose skin concerns now. For my lower face, I've got some jowling going on and other loss of volume. Wondering what I can do to tighten everything up without filler. As an aside, I'm a healthy weight and BMI.

You are young, so your skin should respond to treatment well. Mopheus8 would be a great option to tighten the lower face and upper neck. Morpheus8 is done in a series of three treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. There is little downtime with Morpheus8.

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.

"A combination approach would give the most improvement. Nonsurgical options such as Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, and Ultherapy do well in combination for skin tightening, but the results are mild compared to surgical options.

I would recommend a VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma) and InMode BodyTite to contour and tighten the chin and neck. A neck lift can be performed at the same time, if you're a good candidate. I suggest seeing a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

To address the concerns you mentioned without filler you may consider FaceTite.  This treatment uses RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%.  Results can be enhanced with Morpheus8 to improve overall skin tone and texture.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your concerns and learn more.
