Best Option for Jowls, Jaw, and Neck After Weight Loss (photo)

If you want a good answer (not generated by AI like others here), consider facetite and morpheus 8. This is an office procedure for me, takes about an hour, is done under local anesthesia, and should give you real improvement without needing stitches and without the recovery of a facelift.

Look at our website for pictures of facetite / necktite and you'll see examples of what can be done.

First of all, congratulations on the weight loss. As you know, while weight loss is great for your health, the loose skin that results can be a problem cosmetically. Non-surgical options are available but with the amount of weight loss you had, you will need something more aggressive than external laser and RF treatments. An excellent minimally invasive treatment would be the SurgY_Lift. This is a combination of liposuction, subdermal skin tightening with an energy device like Renuvion and if needed, ligation of the platysma bands and a suture suspension and a Y_Lift. The _Lift is an innovative way to place dermal fillers on to of the bone underneath the capsule of the bone to creat an implant-like effect to recreate your jawline. Outside of a surgical neck lift, this is the most effective combination to address the loose skin, remaining fat and receding jawline. In some ways, it is better than surgery because the down time is significantly less, there are no scars and you get a nice crisp jawline.

Non-Surgical Facelift with PDO threads which reposition fallen cheeks and jawline tissues along with the remarkable Endolift Laser wihich uses a micro-fiber which stimulates your collagen, contours local deposits of face and neck fat and tightens loose skin.

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,

without seeing other angles of your face, it's hard to know for sure... but I think you could also benefit from some filler to your jawline, which may help some with the prejowl area. I would stay away from threads. I can't see you neck well enough to know if you'd benefit from a nefertiti lift/botox but most people do well with that.

Getting a mini face/neck lift under local is so safe and easy to undergo with natural, dramatic results. They remove excess fat and skin and tighten up the jawline/neck so beautifully. We offer free consultations. Now is the time to get it done. You will be so happy you did.

Congratulations on your significant weight loss and your upcoming role at your daughter's wedding! It's understandable to want to look and feel your best. Here are some non-surgical options to consider for addressing jowls, jawline, and neck concerns:

Microneedling: This treatment can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, helping to tighten the skin. It can be especially beneficial if you're dealing with fine lines and a general loss of elasticity.

Pixel Resurfacing: As a form of fractional laser treatment, Pixel Resurfacing can help improve skin texture and tone. It is effective for reducing fine lines and promoting collagen regeneration, which can help with mild sagging.

Nefertiti Lift: This involves the use of Botox to improve the appearance of the jawline and neck by relaxing muscles that pull the face downward. It can be a good option if you're looking to enhance the definition of your jawline.

Thread Lifts: This minimally invasive procedure can lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. Threads can provide immediate results and stimulate collagen production over time.

Given your upcoming IPL treatments for rosacea, it's important to ensure that any additional procedures are compatible and won't exacerbate your condition. Since you're already considering an upper blepharoplasty consultation in February, it might be helpful to discuss these options with your consultant as well. They can provide personalized advice based on your skin type and specific needs.

Ultimately, combining treatments may yield the best results, but it's crucial to consult with a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon to tailor a plan that suits your goals and timeline. Best wishes for a successful outcome and a beautiful wedding day!

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! You appear to be a candidate for FaceTite. This minimally invasive procedure is designed for those who desire skin tightening but are not ready yet for a surgical face lift. RF technology is used both on top of and just below the skin surface to tighten skin. No general anesthesia is required. Visit my website or a provider near you to learn more.

I understand your concerns, especially with your daughter's wedding approaching so quickly. You still have time to see improvements with non-surgical options, but the first step is to consult with an aesthetic provider who uses various tools to achieve the best results.
Weight loss can lead to a decrease in structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, which affects skin laxity, and the loss of deep facial fat pads that atrophy, causing superficial layers to slide down.
A comprehensive approach could include using advanced technologies like Ultherapy for deep tightening of the face and neck, including areas like the eyebrows and under eyes. Following up with SylfirmX can further address rosacea, fine wrinkles, and continue skin tightening for the face and neck.
For facial harmonization, fillers like Radiesse can be used to restructure deeper planes and provide lift without adding excessive volume. When reconstituted for the neck, it helps induce more elastin formation and skin retraction, especially when combined with the aforementioned technologies.
This integrated approach not only provides long-lasting results through regenerative medicine but also avoids the risks associated with other procedures like thread lifts, which lack substantial evidence for durability and can lead to complications.
Overall, by combining these targeted treatments, we aim to enhance your natural beauty while addressing specific areas of concern brought on by weight loss. This strategic approach ensures safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes that will have you looking and feeling your best for your daughter's big day and beyond. I recommend scheduling a consultation as soon as possible to discuss your personalized treatment plan and begin your rejuvenation journey.

At 48 years of age, and 120 pound weight loss, you have a significant deflation issue in your face and neck, which will need to be best corrected by a lower face and neck lift procedure. You can perform your upper eyelids simultaneously under one anesthesia with one recovery.. Anticipate two weeks of visible bruising and swelling from these procedures. Best to perform these procedures at least 2 to 3 months prior to your daughter's wedding. The non-invasive treatments simply will not address any of your issues. In our practice, the goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose and inelastic skin in your face and neck, lifting the jowls, and tightening loose facial and neck muscles and removing of any residual fat deposits in your neck in addition to a platysma-plastic to significantly improve your jawline.
