This is immensely helpful and informative. I’ve been thinking about my jowls and hooded eyes and been debating the best treatments. Facial fat loss worries me. Looks like surgery is the best for lift with some RF. Thank you very much.

Thank you nice to have honest reviews 🙏🏾

Thank You Dr. Kopelman for Your insightful and honest reviews and opinions. I have a question in regards microneedling RF. I am wondering if it does not have the same tendency to cause atrophy as Ultrafomer III ( HIFU) as it also delivers heat to the face. As far as I remember maximum depth for Ultrafomer III is 4, 5 mm and for Vivace microneedling RF maximum depth is 3, 5 mm. I had one treatment of Ultraformer III and as I noticed some pain and swollen face at the beginning after the treatment, I have not seen any results at all when it comes to lifting of the tissue. Unfortunately only afterwards I came across the information that it can desolve facial fat :/ which is an undesirable outcome for myself due to the facial structure (I have jowls but rather thin lower face). I am afraid that due to that fact microneedling RF can also be causing the same undesirable effect on a patient with already limited amount of facial volume. Would be greatefull for Your input on this topic.

So which procedure is safer to be done ???, actually i have zero knowledge of this field and related things., but need to know

Hyaluronidase is not without quite a bit of risk. In my opinion, fillers last a lot longer, and leave behind scar tissue that accumulates with repeated use of filler in the same area, as well as other (even worse) potential complications.

Almost three years ago, a “top plastic surgeon” suggested a “bit of filler in my cheeks” when I went in for Dysport. I had been working in a stressful tech career, and hadn’t been getting great sleep. When she suggested it, I thought “Shit, I must be really falling apart for her to suggest it”, and went ahead with it. It was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. I have high cheekbones and I didn’t need filler (needed to quit my high stress job). The “cheek filler” turned out to be UNDER EYE filler - and although she initially offered/explained that she put “too much, too high”, when I got upset she back-tracked and claimed it was “malar edema that would resolve on its own”. She advised against the use of hyaluronidase, putting the “blame” on me, stating that she “didn’t think she could get me through it”. Almost three years later, I’m still “dealing with it”. It’s worse on my right side, as it has been for the three years since getting it. I would be very careful when getting filler done, anywhere. I haven’t gone near the stuff since. And I don’t care how this sounds, I will not trust a female plastic surgeon with my face after that (this) experience.

Threading is even more risky. I would lose respect for a doctor who recommends threads - which, fortunately, Dr. Kopelman didn’t. I’ve experienced hyperpigmentation from a laser. It was the only spot on my whole face and it was very anxiety- provoking. Took many months to resolve. Will not go near another laser. Will not have filler. Will not have fat transplants (too risky).

Strangely, I would consider a facelift (also risky) someday - if I could put enough trust in another doctor. Not sure that will ever happen, either.

Good morning doctor. Your videos are very interesting and informative. Thank you. And one question: what is your opinion about FOTONA 4d non-surgical face lifting procedure?

[anaisliba]

Hello Doctor Thks for your videos there are helpful. Could you please make a video on laser pen for upper eye lid and do remand that and does it really work or not?

[judithstarkman]

I've been looking at a treatment called Ellacor. What is your opinion of that treatment for skin tightening?

[lampoka]

What do you think about Morpheus 8, please?

[whatonearthamito]

DO you think at home RF devices are safe to use? (I know they don't produce very strong effects, but overtime, they seem to be quite helpful).

[anaisliba]

Doctor what about FDA approved bcs Althera is FDA approved but how come it can if it can atrophy mucked as you said ? Thank you in advance

[janeellenbruno]

Is Thermage the same thing as ultherapy? If not what do you think about it. I've been considering getting it done

[johndoe]

Any thoughts on micro-coring for acne scars?

[evelevrae]
