Would this help droopy profile, jowls, and a sagging chin/neck? (photos)

Question

I have always had a droopy profile and it's gotten significantly worse as I've gotten older (almost 42) and now all I see in the mirror is jowls and a sagging chin/neck. Would something like FaceTite help or would it make more sense to do something more drastic? I tried Ultherepy with coolsculpt a few years ago and I felt like it actually made the sagging under my chin worse.

FaceTite may give you some improvement.  This RF treatment can tighten skin up to 40%.  A lower facelift would remove excess skin of the lower face and neck to give a permanent, contoured result.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to determine which is best based on your skin tone and texture.

Paul Flashner, MD · Answer

FaceTite would be the best option for you to see optimal results. For FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that provides signifigant improvements safely with out having large scarring or prolonged downtime. FaceTite uses a small cannula and radio frequency to liquefy and remove unwanted fat. Our clinic typically recomends additional skin tightening using the Morpheus8. Morpheus8 is a combination of micro-needling and radio frequency, to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. You would see best results with this combination treatment!

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite 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 formal evaluation and to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals. Best, Dr. Emer"

Thank you for your picture. Your are a great candidate for a Facetite procedure that will help remove unwanted fat and help build collagen and elasticity giving you an over all tighter look. However, you will also need to do morpheus8 treatments to continue tightening the skin even more as a maintenance. Good luck!

Hi there, thank you for your question! I think you are an excellent candidate for FaceTite. It would significantly improve your submental (chin) area where you have a bit of excess fat, and when paired with Morpheus 8 treatments it is one of the best minimally invasive treatments for jowls.
