32F. I have a history of weight fluctuation and sadly tend to gain a ton of weight in my face. My weight has been quite stable for the past 7 years except 1 pregnancy where as expected all my weight gain areas ballooned then got even looser skin. Overaall my skin quality is good and laxity is no horrble by any means- is lipo with added skin tightening the best answer for this area long term?

Answer: A combination of Morpheus8 and Ultherapy with help define the jawline and reduce unwanted fat under the chin 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

Answer: More invasive > Less invasive Based off your photos (limited angles) - you do have some laxity of skin there, very little submental fat - but if you tried chin lipo with J plasma or some form of radiofrequency skin tightening invasively - that would ideally give you the best first start. The less invasive modalities are usually money heavy and require a lot of treatments to see very little results. Endolift is relatively new but could be of some benefit - review the risks with your provider / surgeon. And lastly, would be neck lift to really fix the problem but at the exchange of scars hidden behind your ear and into the hairline. (Finally, there is always just embracing gravity's effects on aging and not do much but facials and not gaining weight)
