How Do I Get Rid of a Frowny Face/cheeks? (photo)

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.

A downturned smile or permanent frown can be improved with a combination approach, including neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau), injectable fillers, and radiofrequency skin tightening treatments such as Thermage or Venus Legacy. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.

If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel on the inside, a facelift may be the solution to help you look and feel younger. During your consultation, your doctor will evaluate your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure. Based on this evaluation, he/she will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. Your doctor should make sure you have a full understanding of what results to expect.  Always insist on a board certified surgeon!

Your cheeks are heavy, and they are weighing down the corners of your mouth.  I would suggest using Voluma or Restylane lyft in the cheeks to lift them.  I use a technique where I pull the cheek up and then use the filler to "tack" the cheek into place.  The result is very natural and lifts the weight of the cheek as well as the corners of the mouth.  In addition, sculptra can add more volume to the top of the face, restoring the focal point towards the upper third.Finally, neurotoxin (botox or dysport) in the DAO muscles will help to keep those muscles from pulling the sides 

I think you would definitely benefit from adding some volume into your upper cheeks. Start with filler injections.
