What is a better option-a neck lift vs Morpheus 8 with Skintite? I’m 48 years old. (photos)

Question

I want to improve my neck and jaw line. I’m 48 and have had a consultation, the doctor recommended Morpheus with skin tite over a neck left. He said I still have good laxity and wouldn’t have the scars. I want optimal results while looking natural. I feel like he was pushing that because he recently got the machine I have seen some beautiful results from neck lifts. wanted to see if other doctors are getting good results with Morpheus vs a neck lift

Hi bonbon628

Scarring will depend on the procedure. If you have Coolsculpting there will be no scar.
If you are considering surgery there will be a scar from the incisions, but Dr. Chang will ensure that they are non-visible either behind the ears or right under your chin line. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

The bottom line with a nonsurgical neck lift is that you have to have good skin tone and a lack of significant fat excess and muscle laxity. Based upon the limited photographs you submitted, a surgical neck lift would likely be a better option for enhanced improvement. While you could some improvement with a non surgical neck tightening procedure, there is no equivalency to a surgical neck lift. Now sometimes in appropriate patients a combination of the two procedures can be done which has an advantage of a faster healing time with the best of both worlds. I would recommend consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area.

I am a huge FaceTite and Morpheus believer!  In your age group it has been really working well.  The necklift procedure I reserve now for massive weight loss patients who have lost over 100lbs or those patients over 60. For those patients who fall in between that I use FaceTite and Morpheus and occasionally add Halo.  Best Wishes!!

Thankyou for your question. Based on your photographs and the extent of loose skin, I feel you would do better with a surgical neck lift. Non surgical skin tightening procedures will help but not as much as a surgical lift.  Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss different options with you. All the best

Without a consultation (in person or remote) and better pictures, a recommendation can not be made.  However, a possibility for you to consider is a non-incisional necklift (Ellevate and Trampoline Platysmaplasty) with the skin tightening of FaceTite.  It is a procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia.
