How long after chin lipo can I do a Morpheus8 treatment?

Question

I have had Kybella which gave me scar tissue. Then I had lipo on the chin which really didn't do much.  I seem to have left over scar tissue from Kybella because there is still a pouch there. Will Morpheus8 help with this. Or am I stuck with the scar tissue and loose skin?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Great question. Morpheus8 is commonly performed in conjunction with liposuction for Facetite procedures; therefore, maybe waiting a few weeks for swelling to minimize and healing to occur. For best practice, I would consult with your plastic surgeon and make sure you are cleared before scheduling any future procedures. Best of luck!

looks as if you may need neck lift or skin tightening like renuvion or facetite.  RF treatments should be started weekly if you have scar tissue (legacy or forma) and morpheus every 6 weeks. it can be done immediately post lipo not need to wait.

most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift.  an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done.

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:
1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma.

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.
