Want to tighten under jaw and lift jowls - should I do FaceTite or Morpheus8? (photos)

Question

I am wondering if I should do facetite or Morpheus 8. I am trying to tighten under my jaw and help lift my jowls. I am 27 years old.

We do not have FaceTite here so I can not speak to that technology, but we do have Morpheus 8.  Looking at the pictures that you have attached above, you would be a perfect candidate for Morpheus.  The Morpheus would be able to debulk the areas at the corners of your mouth as well as tighten all of the skin along the jawline and jowl area.

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.

Hello and thank you for your question! Both procedures paired together will get you the results you are looking for. I would start with the Factetie procedure. Facetite will help reduce fat, saggy, wrinkly skin, and improve skin laxity. Then post Facetite I would recommend three treatments of morpheus8 to stimulate the production of collagen and resurface any skin discoloration. By looking at your pictures, it will help the texturization of your skin. Hope you have a great day! Cant wait to see what you decide!

thank you for your question. it depends on the expectations of your results. the morpheus will help to sculpt and define under your jaw and tighten the skin on your face but only a up to a moderate amount it will also help with your skin tone and texture at your age and from your pictures i believe the morpheus is a great option. if you really want to remove the fat and have a drastic change then the facetite would be a better option. it is best to have an in-person consultation with your physician so they can go over your options

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

I suggest you have FaceTite because there is a bit of fat under chin and over jawline. That way you would have liposuction of the area and FaceTite. Having Morpheus8 in addition to FaceTite will add to the tightness of the area to give you the appearance you desire.
