Non surgical treatment to tighten jawline, neck and chin after weight loss?

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.

Hi @plasticsurgerh101. I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Hi and thank you for your question! The answer depends on your age, actual amount of weight loss achieved and the final impact on the face and neck but generally speaking, Ultherapy might be considered as a good option to tighten the skin in jawline, neck and chin. I hope it helps and good luck!

if you have loose skin you will need face or neck lift. if you have mild, you can combine morpheus, threads, thermage/ultherapy to really get a preventive treatment. fillers can also help.

most of my younger patients do buccal fat pad reduction, facetite/liposuction of the neck, and fillers to chin/cheeks/jawline/temples,  to give them a more chiseled face.  see my IG and links. at home derma-rolling should be started to Improve texture and tone and tightening along jawline (see link where we have a recommended daily skincare and weekly emerageskin roller +  aerify micro-rolling protocol see link).

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include:

1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

most of my younger patients consider...
5. deep microneelding RF like morpheus every 2-3 months forever to further improvement tightening
6. early face/neck lift if you want a really tight contour and the most extreme improvement in jawline and neck shaping
7. threads, PDO or Instalift, after neck surgery/facetite to further improve the outcomes and give them long term collagen production and shaping
8. Thermage (radio frequency heating) and Ultherapy (ultrasound muscle tightening) yearly to prevent sagging in the future

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

From your description Morpheus8 may be a good choice for you. This treatment combines RF technology and microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. Three sessions are recommended for optimal results. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Our minimally invasive MiniFaceLift procedure would be a great option for you to achieve permanent skin tightening on your neck and lower face using bi-polar radio frequency technology with very little pain and downtime. With this procedure, you could do it before OR after the weight loss and it would treat the lower face and neck at the same time. Since the loose skin sticks to the muscle, having it before or after wouldn't matter. There are no sutures, and only a day of downtime with permanent results. You can do this procedure on a Friday and be back to work on a Monday. With this procedure you can achieve incredible results without invasive surgery at a fraction of the cost.

A variety of options can be used to address common skin problems including PDO threads. CoolSculpting to reduce fat if there are. In order to tighten and firm your skin, I would suggest combining Secret RF with Fraxel. Botox and fillers are also wonderful options when appropriate. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

You may want to give yourself a boost with a chin coolsculpting as you begin your weight loss journey. That way when you look in the mirror, you will see progress and be encouraged. Coolsculpting kills the fat cells, it does not just shrink them AND, on the chin, has approval for skin tightening. After, the Viora RF is excellent for skin tightening.

We have a fantastic new device. Hands-free, radiofrequency, no needle, no anesthesia, by Inmode. We get skin tightening and if necessary fat reduction.
