I will be 32 in 2 months, I recently lose 90 lbs and with that came a ton of lose skin. I already do Botox, have done fillers and considered morpheus8 but I don't want to make things worse or potentially spend a lot of money for no results. Are there other procedures I should try first? It does it look like a facelift may be most beneficial?

Answer: Procedures I would recommend a facelift/necklift to address the laxity of the tissues. After a 90 pound weight loss, there is only a few solutions for skin/muscle laxity. The most reliable options is to perform a surgery that provides direct visualization of the structures that need to be tightened/skin that needs to be removed. I would recommend seeing a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ideally with 6 years of integrated plastic surgery residency training and ALSO a 1 year aesthetic fellowship accredited by the Aesthetic Society).

Answer: Ellacor At age 32, I would consider non surgical options first before jumping into a facelift. Ellacor is something you can consider. It's a newer treatment that takes micro-cores of tissue out of your skin and your skin essentially tightens to fill those gaps left behind. You can get some more information and see some pictures on their website if you're interested.

Answer: Addressing Loose Facial Skin After Weight Loss Your photos show noticeable folds and creases presumably due to loose skin in the anterior cheeks and what appears to be loose skin and platysma muscle fibers in the neck. Despite your young age, a facelift would address both these areas, tightening and smoothing your cheeks and neck contours. Although it's possible the Morpheus and similar technologies might tighten the tissue somewhat, it all depends on the extent of your looseness seen on examination. Occasionally, the degree of improvement from the non-surgical options is not enough to correct the extensive looseness.
