What procedure can be done for a 26 year old that's wanting to tighten up some loose skin around the neck and jowls?

Question

I was thinking about either a laser resurfacing or fractional type method or mini face lift. The cheeks are sagging.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your description it seems Morpheus8 would be a great choice for you.  This noninvasive treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  Typically three sessions are recommended for optimal results.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.  We welcome you to our Houston office for a consultation to learn more!

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.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Depending on the amount of laxity is not evident per your photographs, you may benefit from #non-surgical treatments. There are also some movements and exercises that may benefit you at this point. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn if you a are indeed an #candidate and also more about the #options available and which of those may be best for you.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

I recommend a combination of Pelleve and Nectifirm cream to address skin laxity in the neck region. You will need 4-6 Pelleve treatments and you will need to use Nectifirm twice a day for at least 2 months.By best,Sheila Nazarian
