I am almost 26 years old and I feel like the lower half of my face is already starting to sag and I feel like my face always looks puffy. Is there a way to tighten or make my face look more contoured?
Answer: Tighten lower face You can consider treatments such as Morpheus8 to tighten tissues as well as improve overall skin tone and texture. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Answer: Morpheus8 stimulates collagen and helps tighten skin for a more defined look 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, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: How to Tighten and Contour Lower Face at 26? Lasers, Microneedling, Kybella and Fillers Can Perk Up Your Face
You really seem too young to have sagging yet, but perhaps your weight has gone up and down with pregnancies or overweight issues. This can cause premature sagging. In addition, excessive sun in your childhood and teen years can already cause some laxity in the skin by the mid-20s. You can firm up your skin by starting to get mild laser treatments now that stimulate the production of more collagen. Depending on what look you want, you have many options to lift your face subtly. Building up your cheekbones with Sculptra, for instance, or just adding it to your midface can create more volume, lifting and creating a more sculpted, defined look. You may also have some submental fat that can be dissolved with Kybella or other fat removal methods. We are lucky to have many, many options to help us improve and maintain our skin from youth to old age. Please find a board-certified dermatologist with whom you feel comfortable and confident to help you with this present problem, and prevent other problems in the future. It is good that you are looking to attend to the problem now before it becomes more noticeable. In that way, you are rejuvenating and slowing down and preventing early aging. We call this “prejuvention.” Your dermatologist can also help you with a good skin care regimen of sunscreen and anti-aging products to keep you looking young for years to come.
