Can Forma tighten loose skin due to filler stretching?

Question

About 1.5 months ago I had 2ml hyaluronic acid filler injected in my lower face ( with cannula and "fanning technique", 1ml each side). I didn't like the result as it made my lower-face look wide, so I had it dissolved with hyalase over 2 rounds. However, my skin hasn't reverted back to its normal size. A derm told me that my skin has been stretched and collagen/elastin damaged by the cannula Can Forma help my tissue contract / become smaller again? Or cause further damage?

So sorry about your unfortunate experience with dermal filler. I'm not entirely sure the "fanning technique" with a HA filler was the appropriate approach for your lower face treatment; but since I do not know of any the original details regarding that encounter, I cannot comment further.
However, skin tightening can be achieved by either FORMA or Morpheus 8, or any RF-based treatment. Pics would be helpful to see the facial areas of concern. Additionally, a laser-based treatment would also be helpful with skin tightening. 
Another consideration in addition to a heat-based therapy might be a series of Sculptra treatments--this injection is a collagen booster and NOT a filler. Make sure to find an experienced Aesthetic provider who can inject this appropriately and correctly! The effects of this treatment can last up to 2 years. Sculptra treatments can be used in combination with any heat based treatment (with the appropriate spacing of treatments between them).
Best of luck!
