I am a 22 year old with sagging skin, what can I do about it? (Photos)

Question

I'm 22 yrs old and my skin is starting to sag. It's been a problem for about 2 years. When I go for skin consultations the doctors never give me a chance to speak because I am young and they dont take time to look at my skin. I don't want fillers, I have already had them before and didnt like it. Would a thread lift help or maybe ultherapy? I dont want anything drastic. I just wany my skin to look alive and happy and tighter again. I dont want it to look saggy like this. It makes me depressed.

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

To not listen closely to your concerns is bad medicine. To start by rattling off a list of the latest skin tightening treatments is also bad medicine. You need to go to a doctor that will listen carefully to a personal and family medical history then do a careful examination. There are genetic disorders and environmental causes that need to be evaluated before jumping in with treatments.

Sorry for your concerns and I would go on some complimentary consultations with experts and compare recommendations after a full examination and discussion of desired results.  That said from the photos you have mildly recessive chin and cheeks that might benefit from augmentation Dr Corbin

Michael Elam, MD (retired) · Answer

Dear Bear Bear, You have a slightly week chin that could be easily corrected with chin augmentation surgery and this would definitely help provide a more balanced profile and stronger jawline which would help with the laxity in the skin. You may also consider making your cheek piercings symmetric in size and color. Seek some consultations with experts to discuss your concerns. If you consider any laser treatments you will required to remove your piercings. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
