Morpheus 8, FaceTite or surgery to improve possible dog ear deformity?

Question

Good day, I have what I believe to be "dogs ears" under my chin as a result of a single incision plastymaplasty. N Surgeon had recommended this procedure as I didn't want to use botox in the bands. However, I now have "flaps" of skin that hang. He suggested if they do not continue to improve we can try Morpheus 8 or FaceTite, however I am concerned these could create more scar tissue based upon my research. I am very self conscious. Thank you for your thoughts.

Depending on the laxity of the skin you may have improvement with FaceTite combined with Morpheus8 treatments.  However, if the skin is thin with poor elasticity, excision of the excess skin will be necessary in order to improve the contours.  I encourage you to visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to hear opinions on what is recommended for you.

Neck skin redundancy often accompanies platysmas bands. Depending on the skin elasticity and laxity, the skin problem will remain despite an effort to treat the muscle bands with a platysmaplasty. It would be helpful to evaluate pre-operative photos to assess the situation prior to the platysmaplasty and determine the pre-op status of the skin. Although FaceTite or a series of Morpheus8 treatments may improve the situation, a surgical approach with skin redraping will generally give a more predictable outcome.
