How to fix jowling (young patient)? Would a PDO thread help? (Photo)

Question

I have lost weight which caused some jowling on my face. I am not sure what I can do, I was thinking pdo threads. I also heard Botox in the dao muscle can help with downturned mouth.. I wanted to try avoiding filler because I got cheek filler once and my face always looked swollen... what can I do to lift my face?

Hi @kt200! I recommend Morpheus 8.  Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Thank you for your question and photos. There are numerous non-surgical options for rejuvenating and firming the skin. Dermal fillers can be helpful, but it is important to work with a very experienced, qualified injector to avoid the issues you have had in the past. You might also consider a skin rejuvenation procedure like RF microneedling, which boosts collagen levels to tighten and smooth the skin from the inside out. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and create a customized treatment plan to meet your needs and goals best.

PDO threading is definitely a possibility, but also procedures like Morpheus 8 will help build collagen and tighten skin. If Dermal Fillers are not an option, then I would look into any procedure that helps with building collagen collagen.
