I have lost 155 lbs through diet and exercise. And while I should be proud of myself my festoons make me horribly self conscious. I have had a consult with a plastic surgeon who says that Voluma can be placed under the festoons to plump up and support the area. Can you tell me if that is the best way to fix them? If not, can you give me some other suggestions? I shouldn't still hide from the camera after working so hard. Thank you.
Answer: Choices in Non-Surgical Facelift Treatments Thank you for your question and congratulations on your weight loss. You are correct - you should not hide from cameras after all the work you did to drop those pounds. Fortunately, there are non-surgical options to reduce the appearance of festoons and create a more youthful facial profile. Voluma is a good option to lift the cheek, but festoons are tricky and swelling can be worse with too much filler. Another filler, Restylane Lyft binds less with water and is good option as well.

Answer: Recommend doing Morpheus8 and a light CO2 laser to help tighten the under eye area 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.

Answer: Festoons Congratulations on your weight loss! Festoons can be difficult to treat. Some patients find improvement with lasers or Morpheus8. This treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Answer: Under eye concerns Hello and thanks for your question. Yes filler could be an option here however it is very important you go to an expert injector as if placed in the wrong plane it can make the swelling worse. Other options would be non surgical devices to help lift and tighten- we use ultracel with great results in our clinic. Always go to a qualified and experienced practitioner, best wishes

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring 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
