What would be the best option for me to treat my sagging double chin area? I want a snatched jawline appearance (Photos)

Question

I have a sagging double chin area & received so many mixed opinions I’m not sure what the best option would be here. I’m thinking about starting with Morpheus 8 as a non-surgical option but I’m not sure that I will get the fat reduction/snatched jawline appearance I am looking for. Plastic surgeons I have met with have said they would not put filler in my face so I don’t know if a surgi Y lift would be the way to go as that involves filler & lipo also wouldn’t be a dramatic result.

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.

Best,

Hello and thank you for your question. I would recommend Facetite. Facetite provides a dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck, which was previously only attainable through surgical procedures. This procedure is noninvasive and uses radiofrequency energy to melt fat and contour the skin.

I would follow that up with a Morpheus8 package of three treatments. This will stimulate the collagen production and will tighten your face and neck area.

Lastly, I would do filler in your jawline. The filler will contour your jaw and build volume, creating that snatched look you are looking for.

Thank you for your question and photos. Yes, Morpheus8 would be a great treatment option to reduce sub-mental fat and tighten the skin. However, another great treatment option for you would be AccuTite to the sub-mental area followed by a Morpheus8 treatment. This would give you the optimal result with little to no down time!

Hello Tifany.  Although we do not use the product, your best bet for starting the process may be Kybella.  For someone young like you with good skin elasticity, Kybella can help to dissolve the small fat pocket under the chin.  If you try that and are not satisfied, a small liposuction procedure would work fine as well.  Morpheus does not help removing fat.  Radiofrequency devices such as Morpheus are better if you are an older patient with less skin elasticity and need mild tightening under the jawline or on the neck.

This is a regular request for us.  I would do a chin implant, as well as a deep neck contouring through a small incision under the chin.  This is a powerful way to get a snatched jawline.
