What procedures can I do to fix the laxity and lack of firmness in my face? (Photos)

January 19, 2024
Asked By:Stacy303 in New York

Several years ago I has a bit of vitrase injected into my upper lip (which I’ve read cause the issue I’m seeing) as well as did some laser lipo in my cheek area. Since then my mid/lower face dropped and lost its firmness. When I touch my skin it almost feels like there’s a layer of air underneath. When I was out massage my face the tissue feels very doughy. What can I do to fix this? I don’t want anymore fillers and I’m afraid ultrasound and similar modalities will make it worse.
