I looked up laser facials in my area and the treatment options (for everything! not just the laser facials) are overwhelming!
My skin is generally looking good, but it starts to sag and I hate the sagging jowls look. I’m starting to think about laser or ultrasound treatment. Ultrasound is supposed to be more efficient but really painful? I’m not at the stage yet when I’m willing to suffer for beauty. Any other options for sagging skin?
@yucca10 , my jowls are softly sagging now. My skin is in good condition, very little wrinkling, unless I smile. I did go to 2 plastic surgeons a couple years ago. One recommended the mini-lift, SMS. I think I will eventually do that. It also addresses some neck tightening if one doesn’t have much sagging, the procedure will help it. (if you have slot, you need a neck lift).
The other surgeon didn’t feel I was ready for that yet and suggested Ultherapy. It was $3,500, more than half of plastic surgery. You couldn’t see results for 9 months and then it only lasted 2 years. I saw before and after pics and was not impressed for that kind of money.
I decided to wait a few more years, and now it’s been that long. I really think in a couple I will consider it again. H is afraid my face will be messed up and he thinks I’m pretty the way I am, bless him. But, I keep pulling my face up just a little and say , “well hello there, where have you been?”
I went to the local dermatology guru, and she advised me to get Vbeam for my face and neck (sun damage…don’t have it on my face, but apparently it’s not that much more to get your face done also). $1250 face and neck, $750 just the neck. Followed eventually by Fraxel.
I asked about juvaderm for my facial drooping, and she said I should get a mid-level face lift. Said it would ,”solve all my problems for 10-15 years, without having to go back every 6-8 months to redo the juvaderm”. I don’t know, I’m uncomfortable with surgery, but I’m tired of looking like a saggy hound dog, and the more weight I lose, the thinner my face gets. No facial cream is going to help this.?
