Age 31 with jowls and marionette lines? What would you recommend to help create a smooth chin/jaw area? (Photos)

Question

Right around my 30th birthday I noticed almost immediately my cheeks looked like they were headed south. I had juvaderm put in my cheek bone area to help lift my cheeks a few months ago, but things have only gotten worse. I am a very active person, I feel like I am the youngest person ever to get this.

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.

Botox in combination with RF treatments can be used to slim and shape the jawline. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
