How long lasting are results from Precision TX on the neck and jowls?

This is a wonderful question! The surgical approach of a lower face/neck lift is always the absolute when discussing the correction of loose and saggy skin in the neck and jowl area although depending on the severity a surgical approach may be a little too invasive. For minimal tightening I have found the Precision TX to be a wonderful option for my patients. I typically will perform this tightening procedure on my facelift patients who are 6-8 years out from their original surgery resulting in a beautifully refreshed and rejuvenating result. This is dependent on the patient need of course. Precision TX offers a minimally invasive option for patients who are wishing to receive tightening in the neck/jowl area as well as other areas on the body. I do discuss with my patients the fact that results are not immediate, rather they will continual to see improvement 3-6-12 months post-operative. I always encourage a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine the best option of treatment for the patient.

Unfortunately, the aesthetic results of lasers (including fraxel lasers), radiofrequency treatments, infrared light, and ultrasound devices have proved more device manufacturer backed marketing hype than hard science, and I would agree with the advice that they are not worth the time, the money or the attendant discomfort and downtime.Without a photo, I can only comment in general terms. But for someone wishing to avoid the pain, healing and expense of lower face and necklift surgery, several,completely nonsurgical options are available for treating jowls, sagging, neck cords and crepeyness of the neck. Each of these nonsurgical procedures can be performed in about ten minutes, typically evoke an immediate  "Wow!" response, and engender little or no downtime.For straightening a jowly jawline and secondarily improving the upper neck, a nonsurgical jawline augmentation with a volumizing filler would be in order. This might be accompanied, when necessary, with a nonsurgical chin augmentation and, if further jaw straightening is deemed necessary, supplemented by a "Nefertiti Lift" using a neuromodulator, such as Botox.If the neck still requires further improvement for cords, laxity and creypeyness, The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Necklift can be added.Precisely which volumizers and fillers may be needed for each task is best determined at the time of initial consultation. The individual treatments may be performed at separate sessions, although many of my patients, to save time, opt to have all done in the same treatment session. For more detailed discussions of each of the techniques mentioned above, check out the archives of Realself.com. And, of course, for an optimal outcome, be sure to consult a board certified aesthetic core physician with experience and expertise in performing all of the above.
