50 y/o Asian, SMAS lift in 2018 - Sculptra or Morpheus8 before revision facelift? (Photos)

November 5, 2023

50 yr old Asian. Had a SMAS lift in 2018. I feel like my jowls, neck, nasolabial folds, and earlobe are an aesthetic problem now. I eventually want a revision deep plane lift, but was thinking about Sculptra or Morpheus8 to delay lift 2-3 yrs? But a plastic surgeon said the collagen-inducing treatments will make a revision lift much less effective. My derm doc says treatments are ok if done conservatively. Which is true? Should I just stick with Botox and HAs then do lift?

Answer: Both treatments are safe before a revision facelift. Ensure Morpheus8 does not penetrate deep enough to melt the facial fat
