50, male, what would be the best non surgical options for jowls/double chin? (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.

Best,

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production

We have a great option for you. It's called "embrace" and it is a quick and easy way to greatly improve a neck like yours. Watch our videos to learn more. We can do this at the same time as a rhinoplasty, or, right in the office under local anesthesia. There are no stitches involved.

Imba Thanks for sharing your photo. From your photo I can see you have some jowls, a poorly defined jaw line and a double chin. The most comprehensive treatment for these issues would be face lift and neck lift which would cause a pretty drastic change most men do not like. The face and neck lift surgery also has a pretty long recovery time. An increasing popular and less invasive treatment for the neck, chin and jowl is the non surgical neck lift combining MyEllevate with Chin liposuction and skin tightening with MyEllevate. These procedures can reduce or eliminate the double chin, improve the jowls and jawline. The change will not be as drastic as a face and neck lift and is a great value. I think it would be a great option for you to consider.

When addressing jowls and a double chin at age 50, there are several effective non-surgical options to consider. Based on your concerns about fillers, we can explore alternatives that provide a more lasting improvement without the need for frequent maintenance.

For contouring and tightening the jawline and neck, Kybella can be an excellent option to reduce submental fat. This injectable treatment is designed to dissolve fat cells in the targeted area, resulting in a more sculpted jawline over time. If skin laxity is also a concern, Ultherapy, a non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment, can help tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production.

Additionally, treatments like Accent Prime combine ultrasound and radiofrequency to address both fat reduction and skin tightening in a single session, making it ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive approach. For added skin rejuvenation, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections can be incorporated to improve skin elasticity and texture naturally.

If you’re looking for a solution that improves both structure and appearance, a Silhouette InstaLift may be worth considering. This minimally invasive thread-lifting procedure uses dissolvable sutures to provide an immediate lift while encouraging collagen production for lasting results.

Every individual’s anatomy and goals are unique, so consulting with a provider who can evaluate your needs in detail is essential. These options offer great potential for a refreshed appearance without committing to surger

You can get improvement with nonsurgical micro-needling and skin tightening with radiofrequency like Secret. You can get better results with minimally invasive liposuction and radiofrequency treatment like Renuvion which tightens even better than with micro-needles.

You may be a candidate for FaceTite/AccuTite which is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes RF technology to tighten skin. Liposuction can be incorporated as well. General anesthesia is not required for this procedure. Many patients opt to add Morpheus8 treatments as well to optimize results. Visit my website to learn more.
