Loose pocket of skin after face tite and 2 Morpheus 8 treatments. What are my options now? (photos)

Question

Hello, I’m 44 and had facetite 2 years ago. My profile and jawline improved but I was left with a loose pocket of skin under my chin that drives me insane. What are my options now? Don’t think I’m ready for a neck lift but I if that’s the only way to address this I would consider it. I would prefer something less drastic if I could get a decent result. Thank you!!

Your platysmal bands are visible. Facetite also removes fat as well as tightening the skin. Usually platysmal bands become more prominent after fat removal but it difficult to make any connections here. A neck lift is your best remedy.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, it appears you would require a surgical lift to address your skin laxity. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can perform a comprehensive, in-person examination. Through this meeting, your doctor can create a customized treatment plan that will meet your needs and goals best.

you have loose skin that needs a neck and facelift. if you want more improvement. for now doing morpheus every 2 months, threads every 6 months, and lasers like moxi will help give improvement. botox around the jawline and neck is great too for prevention. all our patients do thermage/ultherapy yearly to slow the process of aging down.

if you want a dramatic change necklift/facelift, Implants and fillers will give you that. noninvasive will improve the area and facetite, threads, morpheus, and fillers can be used.  start at home dermarolling to tighten you skin, see emeragecismetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily and recommend MTS roller with anteageMD ampules daily (see dermarolling package).

With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles.  You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands
3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening
7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening
8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
see an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.
Best, Dr. Emer

FaceTite and Ellevate are two minimally invasive procedures that can be performed under local anesthesia.  A consultation would be necessary to see if you are a candidate.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Based on your photographs I would hazard that a neck lift is required to address the loose skin present.
