Would micro needling help flatten the lumps under my jawline? (Photo)

Question

After the work was done, the doctor told me that the swelling would go down, but it never did. He kept giving me Kybella every other month, but it never got better, and in fact it got worse. He kept stalling on and eventually, once the year passed by he stopped taking my calls.

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 photo. It is best to have an in-office evaluation of what is causing those lumps under the jawline. Given your history it doesnt sound like fat but rather large and hanging submandibular glands. These may have to be surgically reduced to improve your contours. An alternative is routine botox injections into the area to shrink the gland. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD
