| what is the best, most natural way to treat this? And how much in terms of cost? |

| I hate to be that person, but the answer is a face and/or neck lift. |

| Deep plane facelift. No fillers. |

yeah unfortunately there is no effective nonsurgical option for these specific things.

| I’m looking into Sofwave and Ellacor for the same thing. I’m not ready to go for the facelift just yet. |

| I did Sculptra and softwave and saw a good result. |

| Fillers can help to a certain extent. I was shocked how much DAO Botox helped as I didn’t expect it. Also look into face taping |

^this. DAO Botox and lower face filler made such a difference. |

| Botox is a good place to start |

| A lot of it is genetic, unfortunately. |

Nurse here. Non surgical treatments like Morpheus, Ulthera, Sofwave can help if the skin laxity is mild/ moderate. CO2 or Erbium lasers can help as well. Fillers on the cheeks (tastefully done and in moderation) can sometimes help in conjunction with the former treatments. Note that all these non surgical treatments are heavily provider dependent. Many will claim they don't work because they may have had them performed with a provider who is not well experienced in them.
For more moderate/ severe laxity, the solution would be a deep plane facelift. My advice would be to go to a plastic surgeon who owns a medspa or employs nurses who provide non surgical treatment. You've probably heard the expression "to a hammer, everything is a nail" . If you go to a derm/ medspa, they will tend to recommend non surgical treatments even if they won't provide you with the best solution because that is all they can provide. If you go to a plastic surgeon who does not do anything non surgical, they might be too quick to recommend surgery. Hope this helps. |

PP here.
Cost wise: for a good Ulthera treatment, you'd be looking at $4K-5k. It's usually a single treatment but you may need 2 so be prepared to double the cost. Morpheus would be around $3.5K- $4K for a series of 3 treatments A syringe of filler is $700- $1000 A deep plane facelift (without eyes or forehead) is $50K and up |

| Why not age gracefully? It is nature’s way. And, people respect women more as they age. There are some upsides. |

Gracefully means with procedures and interventions. Just doing nothing is aging naturally, not gracefully. |

Wrong. It means taking care of yourself, including and up to nutrition, exercise, skincare, and possibly lasers. It does not include fillers or surgery. |
