I've previously had volumna in the cheek area that dissipated rather quickly in the side cheek area. Juvaderm in mouth folds. I've been advised to get juvaderm in the jaw line to lift the neck. Would a lift be insignificant at this point? I'm getting tired of all the fillers.
Answer: Sagging skin From the submitted photos it appears you will have the best results from a combination of treatments. The fillers are helpful, but not powerful enough on their own to give you the results you want. You may want to consider adding FaceTite or Morpheus8 treatments to tighten skin and improve overall skin tone and texture. Evoke Nonsurgical Facial Remodeling is another potential option. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Answer: Morpheus8 can help reduce appearance of harsh lines and saggy skin. Ultherapy can also be done to tighten up the face 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.

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring 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

Answer: Time for a Lift? Fillers are great for areas that need additional volume, but they aren't going to get rid of laxity, and aren't going to lift your "turkey neck". The only person who might say that is someone that can't do a lift and has no other tools to help you. Depending on your age and exam, you might be a candidate for a minilift. It's performed in the office using local anesthetic and just involves some incisions around the ears. Downtime is minimal, especially in patients with longer hair since they can use their hair to cover the sutures. Andrew Campbell, M.D.

Answer: Facelift versus fillers Fillers are a great option for adding volume, defining contour and slight lifting. However, the area that you seem to be concerned with is the skin laxity in your neck. Sometimes treatments like Ultherapy or laser can help tighten the skin, but based on your pictures and description, it seems like a lower facelift / neck lift would give you the best and most long-term solution. Additionally, while there is more upfront cost for surgical procedures, the longevity and less need for fillers usually balances out as positive for the patient financially. It would be best for you to schedule a consultation to review all of our options. In our office, we offer the full range of non-invasive treatments and surgical procedures and can work with you to formulate the best plan of action. We look forward to seeing you in the office.
