Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Non-surgical options to a face lift Hello,A very good question being that there are numerous options that are being marketed that absorbing and trusting the information is challenging. You mentioned "sagging jowls and loose neck skin." Significant sagging or laxity in the neck and face is always better served with a surgical approach. Although there are claims that ultrasound, freezing, laser energy, radio frequency, etc. will assist with sagging skin, we do not believe there is enough value with these options for investment vs outcome. If a surgical approach is not an option for a patient, using dermal filler is always an alternative. Besides adding volume, dermal injections are also able to provide support, contouring, and shaping...when done correctly. Sculptra is an excellent product in producing an overall volumizing/lifting of the face. However, it's often beneficial to combine other filler products to compliment the Sculptra. For example, tightening the jowling is best done with Radiesse, whereas restoring volume and lifting to the cheeks is where Sculptra is supreme. Finally, approach the pretty canvas of the face as a whole. Using dermal fillers and Botox or Dysport to lift eye lids/brows, is an excellent non-surgical treatment plan. Make certain your practitioner offers realistic expectations and understands your goals in reviewing benefits vs limitations of injection procedures.

Answer: Alternatives to face and neck lift Depending on your physical exam, you may be a candidate for nonsurgical rejuvenation. I think people that are in their thirties, forties, and fifties benefit tremendously from a combination of volumizing and tightening. We can add volume with fillers and sculptra. We can tighten/lift the skin with energy-based procedures such as ultherapy. Depending on your goals, noninvasive treatments alone may not be able to get you to where you want to go. It is very important to go to an office that offers expertise in surgical and nonsurgical treatments. This way, the office will be able to provide you with a recommendation that is best for your goals.
