Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to have a lower facelift or just a neck lift that only tightens the skin, not the muscles? I am having muscular tmj symptoms. My PT recommends not having a facelift due to the muscles being moved or tightened. So needless to say I do not want to take any chances with that happening. But I am wondering if it is possible to tighten the skin only? Thank you. :)
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Face Options TMJ can be a very frustrating diagnosis. While I'm sure your physical therapist is only concerned about your outcome, he or she may not be exactly correct on if the procedure is right for you. I would suggest finding a reputable board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Likewise, it may be beneficial to include your TMJ specialist as well on the true risks for you personally.If you are against surgery, you can opt for a non surgical face lift, such as FaceTite which uses RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) and does not leave any incision.Best of luck!

Answer: Facelift without targeting the muscle Thank you for your question to whether it is possible to have a facelift without targeting the muscle, only the skin. The answer is yes, but please be aware this will not have the longevity as if the SMAS muscle was targeted. If the muscle is targeting typically lasting 5-10 years. It would only be a short term solution. I would not based your advice on your PT instructions, they will not be clear on the anatomy of the facial muscles. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve. All The Best

Answer: Is it possible to have a lower facelift and/or a neck lift without involving the muscles in anyway? Yes, it is possible to perform a skin only facelift, neck lift without involving the muscles. This will be a pre-1973 facelift before muscles were tightened in the face. Unfortunately it will not last for long

Answer: TMJ symptoms and tightening of superficial facial muscles A manipulation of SMAS (superficial masculo-aponeurotic system) of the face, which is involved in contemporary face lift, does not affect the function of deep mastication muscles of the face and TM joint. So, manipulation of SMAS based face lift should not affect in any way your TMJ status. It is possible to achieve improvement with skin only face/neck lift although this result is not long lived.
