Think I'm developing premature jowl sagging at 22. Is it what they call "smart phone face"? What is the best treatment? (photo)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

There are a lot of options for improving this area and this often means fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments/ultherapy and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert.

Thanks for your question and posting a picture.  If you have some fat under your chin, you may be a candidate for Kybella.  I think more likely, it is just a bit of skin laxity that at your age can usually be tightened with a series non-invasive bulk heating treatments.  These treatments go by various trade names, but mostly do the same thing with different little twists.  Treatment prices and discomfort levels vary greatly.  We choose Pelleve for skin tightening because of the affordability of treatments and zero discomfort.  Best of luck.
