How Can I Tighten Sagging Skin Without Surgery?

There are many non surgical options available for the face. The one that is right for you depends on your concerns and goals for treatment. You can consider Silhouette InstaLift to address concerns in the mid and lower face. FaceTite and AccuTite are two options that use RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%. These treatments can address essentially most areas of the face. Morpheus8 is another technology available to improve overall skin tone and texture. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more about what is best for you.

Without photos, I can only make some general comments. Happily, we now have a number of robust, natural, hyaluronic acid-based fillers that can achieve the following usually in one sitting: restoring upper cheek projection and lift in order to create a more heart-shaped face and to diminish smile folds; to straighten and better define the jawline and eliminate jowls; the elevate and straighten marionette lines and downturned angles of the mouth. We also have have some less robust hyaluronic acid injectables for addressing the vertical "lipstick bleeding" lines around the mouth and the horizontal "worry" lines along the forehead and "frown" lines between the eyebrows. And we other other injectable hyaluronic acid products, known as skin boosters that can be deposited throughout the skin to increase skin hydration and tautness. None of the aforementioned requires going under the knife, and particularly in the case of volumizing and lifting fillers, the results are typically immediate and elicit a "Wow!" response. Be "buyer beware" cautious in evaluating claims for this or that fraxel laser or radiofrequency devices as to date the purported benefits of these "bells and whistles" are far more backed by device manufacturer supported marketing hype than hard science. Hope this helps and best of luck.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
