I'm early 30's and have just started to get loose skin on the neck. What is the best treatment for the onset of jowls?

Question

Thanks for the question and photos. I would recommend a non-surgical treatment like Ultherapy for early signs of aging like these. This procedure is designed for skin tightening and can produce excellent results for younger patients like you. The device delivers ultrasound energy into the deeper dermal structure, where it constricts tissue and promotes collagen production. The result is firmer, smoother skin over time as collagen levels build. The device is completely safe for use on the face and neck and can reduce the jowls that are already starting to appear. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who has performed many Ultherapy treatments to ensure the best possible results.

Early signs of aging like yours can be addressed using nonsurgical treatments in most cases. Microneedling is a procedure that creates tiny channels in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing response. As the body boosts collagen production to address the injury to the tissue, the skin becomes smoother and firmer from the inside out. 
I add platelet-rich plasma to my microneedling procedures to further boost the regenerative effects. This plasma is extracted from your own blood through a simple blood draw in my office. Because it contains a high concentration of growth factors, it assists with cell renewal to rejuvenate the skin more efficiently. Make sure you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in skin rejuvenation to ensure your doctor can tailor your treatment to your precise needs for the best possible results.

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

Hello, thank you for the question and photos. A procedure I would recommend would be PDO thread lift. This is a minimally invasive procedure that will help to pull and tighten the skin. The effects can last 1-2 years, and after 4-6 months the threads will dissolve on there own. Other options are Dermal filler for jawline countering, or 1-2 sessions of skin tightening with TempSure radio frequency system. Wish you the best.

Hello, thank you for your question and for including photos. A good, non-surgical treatment for the jowl and neck area of the face is Ultherapy. The Ultherapy treatment is the only non-invasive procedure FDA -cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow. Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to the same foundational layer typically addressed by surgeons during cosmetic surgery - without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. Therefore, no down time. The energy initiates the body's natural response to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen and strengthen weak collagen.
