I am 44 and wondering if Morpheus8 can treat my hooded eyes? (Photo)

Question

I have hooded eyes genetically but as I have aged they have become more asymmetric and pronounced. Is there another modality that would be better? Also, I am bothered by my skin laxity/jowls, can Morpheus8 help with this or do I need more aggressive options? I appreciate your time!

A blepharoplasty would be the best and most definitive treatment.  A non-invasive alternative that would work better would be the Plasma Pen.

Thank you for your questions and photos. Facetite/Morpheus 8 is a system that uses radiofrequency to shrink wrap the tissues. This would potentially be a great option for your jawline/jowls. Morpheus 8 is not used on the eyelids. You may be a candidate for an upper eyelid lift called a blepharoplasty. In our office, we do this under local anesthesia and can be done at the same time as the Facetite. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with the Facetite machine. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

The main reason as to why it appears that you have extra skin in your upper eyelids is because your whole face is losing fat. Facial volume loss occurs in everyone as the process of aging. Once fat grafting restores the volume of the face, the face looks much more youthful and natural, at the same time just the way you used to look many years ago. Make sure you find a plastic surgeon who specializes in autologous fat grafting with many years of experience. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
