Will Morpheus8 help reduce the extra fat/tissue here? Am I at the point of needing more?

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.

Thank you for your questions and photos. Based on these photos, I think you are a great candidate for Facetite and Morpheus 8. The system uses a radiofrequency handpiece to stimulate collagen and shrink wrap the tissues. It produces a natural looking tightening to the face or other body area. It can take a while to see your final results so it does require some patience. Rest and sunscreen will also help keep your skin healthy and youthful. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon's office who has experience with the technology. Good luck!

You would do great with Morpheus8 and Facetite to the jawline/neck under tum. local and it is easy to undergo.
