Is Morpheus8 for upper eyelid lift a good idea?

Question

I have sagging skin in upper eyelids and would love a slight lift. But I don’t have bags underneath my eyes and have no fat. I would love to try Morpheus to lift my eyes and tighten the skin but am scared of trying anything that could make me look hollow- especially under my eyes.

You can try Morpheus8 and other fractional treatments to reduce excess skin above the eye. Results will be subtle; however, it will not be comparable to surgical interventions. Based off the severity of the skin laxity, this will determine which option will be more beneficial for you.

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.

Morpheus8 works so well compared to anything else nonsurgical but should be done under local anesthesia for best results and the addition of a chemical peel at the same time.
