Solution for early jowling? PDO threads? Kybella off label? Morpheus? (photos)

Question

I had a chin implant placed and buccal fat removed over six months go. I have had voluma for my cheeks and mid face before. I plan to have this done again and I know that will slightly help the weakness of the lower half of my face but there has got to be something I can do about lifting my jowls? I'm 30 years old and they are hereditary. Are PDO threads? Kybella off label? Morpheus?

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @brooke0000! 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. Best of luck, Dr. NIma!

Thanks for your question.
I can see visible jowl and combining local jowl fat liposuction with thread lift will give better outcome. Kybella injection is less predictable than liposuction and it requires several injection. 
You also consider fat fat graft just lateral to chin to give nice contour of jaw line.

Regards,

Dr. Choi

Good question!On someone as young as you, any procedure that helps build collagen will help. Morpheus 8 help with LOTS of different issues and builds collagen, but threading will only help tighten the skin and build collagen over time. Kybella does not tighten skin, but will remove any fat in the area, which doesn't sound like what you are looking for.

You can do a combination of any of these excellent treatments!  You will get the best results combining at least 2 of them - Kybella of jowls with a PDO Thread Lift or Morphues8 x 2-3 treatments followed by PDO thread Lift if it is still needed. We see great results with these combinations for fat reduction and tightening!
