I’m 48 years old & have lost over 120 pounds. Now experiencing texture, jowl & neck issues. Just looking old & tired. Wondering which non surgical options are best to tighten/hide/fix those issues before my daughter’s wedding in June. I’m starting IPL for Rosacea, but also trying to decide between microneedling, Pixel resurfacing, Nefertiti lift & threads for the rest. Any opinions, or better recommendations? Scheduled for upper blepharoplasty consult in February. Thanks!

Answer: A combination of Morpheus8 and Ultherapy can help define and provide a small lift for a more youthful look. 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, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Face 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.
