Hello, and thank you for your questionI believe that you would be a great candidate for a procedure that I call Aesthetic Facial Balancing. A large part of my practice is using this procedure. What this means is evaluating a patients face and bringing the features into harmony by making adjustments with either hyaluronic acid or fat. The most important component of a fillers treatment is the practitioner administering it. I take filler and balance all features in your face from top to bottom to make them work together to 'unlock' your beauty. This procedure is not just a filler intervention augmenting the cheeks and lips, but as in overall, non surgical way to shape the face in a different way to create natural appearing results. I hope this helps!Wishing you beautiful results,Dr. Rian Maercks M.D.
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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
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
The cause of your mid-face and jowl sagging is due to the loss of facial volume that used to hold your skin in its previous "taut" fashion. As we age we lose skeletal, fat, and muscle volume in our faceThe reason for my header being "The best long-term result would actually be invasive: Facial Fat Transfer combined with RF lasers" is because facial fat transfer WILL be more cost-effective in the long term and it's more natural because it's your own fat; compared with fillers. If you decide to not go down the facial fat transfer route, fillers will be your next best thing. Regardless of what route you choose; you will need to "fill" the mid-face hollowness first AND THEN tackle skin tightening. If you don't have a skin-care routine it's essential that you begin one. Having a tried and true skin care routine will increase the quality (tightness, look and feel, texture, tone, moisture, and smoothness) of your skin and the higher quality of your skin the better the results of nearly EVERY aesthetic treatment you get and the better you'll heal for anything invasive. If you're absolutely set on the " best least invasive procedures" for the results you desire I'd recommend sticking to injectables and RFAL lasers.
Thank you for yourquestion and your photographs. Given the concern you have expressed, and yourimages, I would recommend you consider a combination treatment of Ellansedermal filler and thread lift treatment with Silhouette Soft. Ellanse is a longlasting collagen stimulating filler that gives instant results that improvewith time. I would recommend treatment to your midface, to increase volume inthis area, prior to a thread lift. Silhouette Soft isable to lift areas of sagging skin, non-surgically to give an instant lift toyour jowls and to the lines between your nose and mouth. The threads areinserted either side of your face and jaw line, just under your skin underlocal anaesthetic, when tightened they lift the skin. What’s even better isthat results actually improve in the months’ post treatment as the threadsstimulate your body to create collagen (something we all lose as we age) togive you a second biological lift. Mostimportantly, for men in particular, you won’t look ‘done’ after the treatment,the results are extremely natural looking.
While you can address the fullness of your neck with Kybella injections, Microliposuction will gibe you an immediate and more predictable result. Volume increase to your upper face would go a long way for achieving a rejuvenated look. This can been fillers or fat grafts. Some improvement with ThermiTight (Internal radiofrequency) could be expected as well.

I developed a combination of procedures that achieve a natural facelift appearance. (All devices are FDA approved)1. Stimulate collagen production + skin tightening, under eye bags/discoloration2. Address hyperpigmentation, discoloration (including rosacea), spider veins/capillaries 3. Resurface, exfoliate multiple layers, minimize pores, promote collagen, tighten skin, wrinkle reduction/elimination.Repeat. No downtime. No scars. No needles.
Thank you for your photos. Typically, a non-surgical FaceLift includes a combination of dermal fillers, injectables such as Botox and lasers. Another option to consider is Silhouette InstaLift. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is able to target the deeper layers of skin on a patient’s face and neck. This new target area makes the procedure stand out from existing procedures that treat the surface or outer layers of the skin, such as wrinkles, brown spots or lost volume. An aged appearance is usually caused by a patient's deeper layers, so targeting that area allows us to get better natural results. Instalift has absorbable lifting sutures that tighten the skin and stimulate collagen as they dissolve over time. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
There are a number of non-surgical treatments for saggy skin around the face. Fotona 4-D is one of them. Fotona 4-D is a 4 step procedure that employs erbium and nd yag laser to tighten skin, increase collagen and elastin, and shrink pores. Radiofrequency treatments are also effective at tightening skin.
Aging is a gradual process with loss of skin elasticity. Tissues of the face descend over time. The Endolift Laser is a remarkable laser using a fiber beneath the skin to stimulate collagen, tighten skin and smooth out fat. When combined with PDO threads the results are best.
Hi, I have performed many SMAS facelifts for over 30 years and have performed many minimally, invasive SMAS facelifts. Non smiling, resting photos of your face from the front-end side would help in the evaluation. Hifu is a high energy, focused ultrasound that would not tighten the SMAS, m...
At 26, your skin still has great natural elasticity, so non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments can provide excellent results for contouring the lower face and addressing puffiness or early sagging. There are several approaches tailored to your age and goals. For tightening and defining...
