Question

I am willing to send pictures - I live in Central New York but I will travel - and thoughts/advice on best procedure for mild/moderate neck sagging (under jaw)?

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

Yes. FaceTite is a very good option for mild to moderate sagging under the jawline/neck in the right candidate. It offers a nice middle path between non-invasive lasers, radio-frequency and full surgery.

Hi and thank you so much for sharing your questions and concerns!

FaceTite and Morpheus8 work synergistically to tighten and rejuvenate the neck without surgery:
FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt fat and stimulate collagen deep beneath the skin. It targets sagging and laxity by tightening the underlying tissue. Morpheus8 is a fractional RF microneedling treatment that resurfaces and remodels the skin from the outside in, improving texture, firmness, and elasticity.

Together, they address both deep tissue laxity (FaceTite) and superficial skin quality (Morpheus8) Deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime are ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging who want to avoid invasive surgery This combination offers a comprehensive approach to neck rejuvenation—lifting, tightening, and smoothing in one protocol.

For mild to moderate neck sagging under the jaw, several non-surgical and minimally invasive options can help tighten and contour the area:
1. Radiofrequency Microneedling (e.g., Morpheus8) – Stimulates collagen and tightens skin with minimal downtime. Effective for mild laxity and improving skin texture.
2. Radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (e.g., BodyTite) – Combines fat reduction with skin tightening, ideal if there's a small amount of excess fat along with loose skin.
3. Injectables (e.g., dermal fillers or biostimulators) – Can help improve jawline definition and support sagging tissue.
4. Ultrasound or RF Skin Tightening Devices – Non-invasive treatments that gradually improve firmness over several sessions.
For more significant laxity, surgical options like a mini neck lift might eventually be considered, but for mild-to-moderate cases, these approaches can yield noticeable improvement with minimal recovery.

For mild to moderate neck sagging under the jaw, several procedures can effectively address this concern. Here are some options to consider:

Ultherapy: This non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting the skin over time. It's a good option for those looking for a non-surgical approach with minimal downtime.

Radiofrequency Treatments: Procedures like Thermage or Profound RF use radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and tightening the skin.

Neck Lift Surgery: For more pronounced sagging, a surgical neck lift can provide significant and long-lasting results. This procedure involves removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles.

Thread Lifts: This minimally invasive procedure uses absorbable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. It offers immediate results with minimal recovery time.

Kybella: If excess fat is contributing to the sagging appearance, Kybella injections can help dissolve fat under the chin, improving contour and definition.

Injectable Fillers: Fillers can be used to enhance the jawline and reduce the appearance of sagging by adding volume and support to the area.

Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can help you determine the best treatment option based on your specific needs and goals. They can assess your skin and provide personalized recommendations.
