Family history of skin losing elasticity early in life - FaceTite vs thread lift? (photos)

Question

I have a FaceTite + Morpheus8 procedure scheduled for Jan. After seeing reviews suddenly tanking I’m becoming terrified The women in my family have terrible skin usually losing elasticity and developing wrinkles very early. My face wrinkles already when I turn my head side to side. I’ve had Lipo in my chin which I felt didn’t really do anything and left me with a weird line. I’m also prone to hypertrophic scarring. I want to know if I should go with thread lifting instead? I want a sharp jaw !

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Morpheus 8 and FaceTite compared to thread lift will give different results.
With The Facetite and Morpheus it uses radiofrequency activity which essentially shrinks the fat under the skin for a more longer lasting result. Depending on diet and weight it can last up to 10 years. With the incisions that will be made they are usually small but i would discuss with your doctor about the scars that can potentially form. Your chances of getting better results lie with Facetite and morph.8
Thread lift on the other hand does not last long and acts more of pulling under the skin. It does not do anything to the fat under the skin. 
Best of luck
