Dear Doctors, Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I am a soon to 40 year old woman with what I feel like, is early sagging. I have few wrinkles and have always been thin but feel like the sagging is aging me. What would you suggest?
Answer: Morpheus 8 and dermal fillers Hi @queengodiva. I recommend a combination treatment of both dermal fillers and Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin

Answer: How to manage the early signs to aging at 40?? Ask Dr Ellen It is surprising how things just seem to sneak up on us! But you're not alone, we all go through it. I started using toxins at 29 and fillers at about 40. It's amazing how just a little of both, or either, can make such a nice difference.There are many fillers available but I prefer the hyaluronic acids because they are soft, not permanent and can be reversed.The feminine face is remarkable for its greatest width at the midface with tapering to the chin. There should be a noticeable and unified curve uniting the cheek and cheek bone. The jawline should be smooth where the chin meets the the jaw. Nasolabial folds are present on all of us but do deepen over time with the most depth at the crease of the nose. Marionette lines eventually form from the angle of the mouth and create a fold at the cheek/chin junction.You have only early signs of these features and a couple of syringes of Juvederm would be a good place to start as you can always add more if you like it. I would disguise the nasojugal fold, enhance the apple of your cheek, fill in the upper NLF and fill in the prejowl suclus (chin/cheek jct)- and see how that looks. There is no need to over do it as the best results always look natural and "undone."Good luck!In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD
