Is there any hope for my face - loose skin? (Photos)

Question

I am a young 27 year old male who has soft loose elastic skin on my face and body. I have been exploring Facelifts and Renuvion, but am concerned that my skin will "revert back" to the way it is now in the future, even after a facelift. When I pull my skin tight like how it would be done with a facelift, it gives my jawline the definition I want and firm tightness. I was 195 lb max weight so there was 'some' fluctuation but I was not severely obese. (Im 155 lb now) .

Dear Jlaw_303,

After evaluating your picture, it seems you have excess laxity of the skin. It is therefore recommended to have a scarless mini facelift to remove the excess skin and pull it back. I would suggest you to look into vertical facelift to have a better appearance post surgery which doesnt look artficial and unnatural. It should be done properly by an expert which will guarantee that your skin will not revert back as the excess skin will be excised and tightened at the same time and henceforth giving a natural look.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your question and photos. Since you’re still young and don’t show signs of aging, you don’t appear to need any surgical intervention at this time. However, you may benefit from RF microneedling treatments to tighten and contour the skin while restoring elasticity. 
During this procedure, hair-thin needles are used to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin, which stimulate a wound-healing response. Radiofrequency energy travels through the needles to boost this healing response and encourage your body’s elastin and collagen production. The skin will repair itself over the following weeks and months, growing tighter, firmer, and smoother. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess your concerns and suggest the best approach for you.

Hello @Jlaw_303, thank you for your question. The best option at this moment are non surgical treatment, due to your age there Is laxity in the skin and the issue is that the change in weight there is a new regrouping of the fat. I suggest to combine 2 technology Ultherapy and Fixer to generate more elasticity and improve facial definition. Combined with Radiesse to define make the mandibular boarders mor sharp again. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS
