I have a lot of fat underneath my chin and I want to get rid of it forever. I am considering liposuction but was curious if I'm too young or if I need it. I honestly think I do and in pictures it looks horrible and same with side profile pictures. What do you think?
Answer: Morpheus8 works with microneedling and radio frequency to help promote collagen growth and melt unwanted fat 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, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Chin and neck contouring Thank you for you question. You are not too young to address the fat under your chin. Before doing so, I would recommend that you feel comfortable that you're at your ideal weight. Weight gain or loss can affect fullness under the chin. If you feel you're at your ideal weight, there are two non-invasive options. The first, Kybella, is a series of injections. The second is Coolsculpting, which involves application of a small device under the chin for a 30 minute treatment. The more invasive option is liposuction. All work well and would depend on your physical exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in facial contouring.

Answer: I'm 21 years old. What I should do about my chin and underfat? chin liposuction is a really good option Young patients with double chin are usually excellent candidates for chin liposuction. The procedure permanently removes the fullness under the chin, thus correcting the double chin. In my practice I routinely perform the procedure under local anesthesia. Downtime is about one week due to the swelling and the chin wrap that must be used for at least 5 days

Answer: Neck Sagging/Fat - VASERlipo, FaceTite/AccuTite, Morpheus8/Fractora, Neck Lift/Platysmaplasty; Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result. With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach: 1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture 2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands 3. Intensif, Fractora, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting 4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds 5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening) 6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening 7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening 8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness 9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production See an expert for a formal evaluation and to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.
