Hey there. I am looking for non surgical lift and tightening (more chiseled look)--less concerned with skin texture. I read contradictory things about what these treatments can achieve, especially Morpheus. The cosmetic PA said she has more satisfaction with Morpheus, but wading through claims about it, seems better for lifting to remove wrinkles. Btw I had ultherapy twice, two years apart with the last one a year ago. First treatment had rest results. Second, nah.

Answer: Non Surgical Lift Hello Bkanner! Thank you for your question. Morpheus8 shows great results for overall skin tightening and some lifting with a series of treatments. If you are looking for something that will give more of a lift without surgery, a thread lift with Miracu PDO Threads might be a good option! I recommend finding a provider that carries this line of threads and has extensive training in performing this thread lift- when done properly it is a very safe and beautiful treatment. Best of luck! Sincerely, Genie Alexander, RN BSN for Dr. Anna Petropoulos MD FRCS, Center for Classic Beauty, Boston and Danvers, MA.

Answer: Sofwave or Morpheus& for nonsurgical lift & tightening/more chiseled look? Thank you for your pictures and questions. I hate to be the one to tell you, but you are going to be disappointed. I own and use a Morpheus8 and I can tell you this, if you are expecting it to create "lifting and tightening" you are not going to be happy. The bottom line is that nothing creates (long-term) lifting that is not surgery and nothing creates tightening like skin removal. The treatments you are considering (M8, SW, etc.) are nothing more than invasive skin care. They might make some changes to how the skin feels, they might improve the texture and tone of the skin, but they are not going to create anything close to a "non-surgical lift." From the look of the photos, you do have a significant amount of sun damage and skin discoloration. I think that if you are looking for a non-surgical treatment that is going to create a significant improvement and something you can be happy with, I would look into Contour TRL (deep Erbium laser resurfacing). This is an aggressive laser resurfacing that takes a significant investment in terms of downtime and recovery, but you will be rewarded with a fresh new layer of skin and it will treat fine lines and wrinkles, color spots, and you might actually get some real tightening from it. Hope this helps! Dallas Buchanan, MD VIVIFY plastic surgery Tampa, FL
