Question

I am 40 years old with a bony sternum, and sensitive skin. Which course of action to take to treat my problems: vascular spots, and paper thin skin with creases. Fat transfer? Injectibles? Hyaluronic acid?Platelet Rich Plasma?Cutera?V-beam? What to start with? Heartfelt thanks.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Fillers can be used in this area including ultherapy/thermage to lift and tighten.  I suggest seeing an expert who uses a significant amount of sculptra or other fillers in this area.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Fat transfer containing stem cells is very helpful for softening these angulated depressed areas of the sternum/clavicle.A  secondary benefit is improvement of skin quality ,especially with the stem cells.We also combine PRP with the fat transfer to add more growth factors.I think you will get a nice result!

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

Loss of collagen as we age can lead to thin, creased skin (also known as crepey skin) and thinner skin allows for greater visibility of vascular lesions. At our practice we see a lot of patient concern regarding the neck and decolletage and have an array of the newest, proven procedures to treat and drastically improve the overall appearance of these areas. Addressing your particular concerns, we would recommend a series of 3 sessions of photorejuvenation with V-Beam, the most advanced Pulsed Dye Laser Technology. When used in a photorejuvenation capacity, this safe and painless laser treats redness and broken blood vessels and stimulates production of collagen to plump the skin and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. In conjunction with the laser series, we would recommend you incorporate a daily at-home product to firm and tighten your neck and decolletage, such as our Dr. Dennis Gross Retinol and Ferulic Fortifying Neck Emulsion. Not to worry, the proper treatments, tailored to your specific concerns, should produce real, lasting results.
