Is Morpheus8 the best treatment for sagging jowls? (photos)

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.

Thank you for your question. In my experience I believe that you are a great candidate for Morpheus8 as long as you do not have any metal implants in the area or other contraindications. Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency (heat) to tighten the skin and lift the face. We would love to have you come in for a complementary consultation so that we can see the area in person and give you more in- depth information.

hello,
thanks for question and pictures.
The lower face (jaw line, jowls, marionettes lines) and neck area in my opinion are the most challenged area to treat as the results are not always satisfactory and what you would you expect. The reason of this is that the ageing process (bone and fat absorption, reduction of collagen and skin elasticity) involves also the upper and mid face: temporal area, cheek, mid face. My approach always involves a detailed assessment of the face and the neck as a whole unit in order identify the ageing trigger points and so understand which areas of the face need to be prioritised and treated in order to restore the volume lost and achieve a lifting and natural looking effect.
In my opinion and based on my experience the best approach in you case should be the combination of fillers on the upper and middle face (not on the lower face ) to give structure and support to the lower face AND Radiofrequency procedure ( e.g. Face/Necktite and Morpheus 8 or Renuvion/J plasma)) for tissue contraction ( fat and skin tightening) on the lower face (jaw line, jowls, marionette lines). The procedure can be performed awake with local anaesthesia.
On the neck area the combination of botulinum toxin and Profhilo® is a good option if you want to increase skin tone, texture and tightness.
I would recommend to make an appointment with a surgeon expert in face/neck treatments including skin tightening procedures for a medical/surgical assessment in order to make a bespoke treatment.
Best Wishes,
