Neck lift with a machine called Sorisa based in Spain? (Photo)

Question

There must be an equivalent here in the U.S.? I read that it's very effective for non-invasive neck rejuvenation issues. Would love to hear from physicians any input on the subject of (noninvasive) treatments for fixing neck/jowls; my neck bands/rings and triangular hollows. Thanks!

Machines and equipments available for patient use over seas (eg. Spain) most of the time are not available in the US. The reason is that in order for a machine that treats patients to be sold in the US, it has to pass FDA approval.  FDA approval means the machine is safe to be used in the US. There are some machines to improve the lower face and neck appearance like Fractora Radiofrequency by InmodeMD. However, this or other tightening skin machines are not as powerful as a neck lift to rejuvenate the neck

My advice is very simple with such noninvasive machines: save your money.  The photos show a neck that would best be approached with surgery for a meaningful aesthetic result.  I fully understand that you may not want to have a surgical procedure, but it is the only thing that will be effective in this circumstance.

I am always on the look out for new machines and lasers and devices to be able to offer my patients noninvasive treatments who are not ready for surgery.  However, let me warn you that the vast majority of these come and go.  The short answer is, if it is too good to be true, it probably is.  If this "Sorisa " machine really were an amazing noninvasive fix, surgeons in the US would be tripping over themselves to be the first to offer it.  There is a reason why I've never heard of it, and I keep up on the latest things at conferences every year.Visit with a plastic surgeon whom you trust, and who offers noninvasive modalities, to get the real story.Best of luck!

You have platysmal bands, excess neck skin and jowls. Non invasive treatments cannot correct anything except make the neck skin slightly tighter. In my opinion, your best option will be a face/neck lift.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The neck is composed of skin, muscle, and fat deposits above and below the platysma muscle. When patients have significant jowls, a lower face and neck lift is required.  In our practice a neck a lower face   and neck lift involves tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose facial /neck muscles, lifting the jowls, and performing a platysma plasty along with relmoval of fatty deposits in the neck
