PDO, filler or laser resurfacing for lines under eyes & to slim jaw & cheek areas? (Photos)

Hi @Itsmetm123! I would recommend PDO threads and Morpheus 8 for you. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment. Morpheus8 treatment stimulates collagen production to tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face and body. At a depth of 3 and 4 mm, we are also able to target the fat cells in the jowls and submental area for a more slimming appearance. I recommend 3 sessions of Morpheus followed by a PDO thread lift.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Good Morning! For the eyes, the lines underneath can be really tricky to fill with filler and the results can sometimes be lumpy or odd. CO2 laser for the under eye area really helps to resurface the skin effectively. The results can be very nice if done safely. For the jaw and cheek, I would make attempts at filler or Morpheus8. The latter helps to tone the skin and avoids a surgical procedure. I would avoid PDO threads as the results don't last and are underwhelming. Hope that helps!

There are many options available to address the concerns you mentioned. You may find improvement from fillers under the eyes. If there is too much redundant skin a lower blepharoplasty may be recommended for you. To improve skin tone and texture I recommend Morpheus8 treatments. This combines microneedling with RF technology. There are three treatment sessions for optimal results. See your injector or board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.
