Is Morpheus8 a good procedure for me for post-facelift jawline tightening? (Photo)

Question

I had a facelift 8 months ago. I think I could use just a little more jawline tightening. Is this a good procedure for me

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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,

In our experience, Morpheus 8 is excellent for lines and wrinkles and for tightening of skin. We have not seen it significantly lift Jowls or other Skin of the face. Thank you for your question! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Dear Peri basel,
Morpheus might give you some jawline tightening.  However, your rejuvenation would more greatly benefit from skin resurfacing to correct your fine wrinkles (which would also result in further skin tightening).  Speak to your plastic surgeon for available options for skin resurfacing and a skin care regimen.  Good luck!

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

The procedure that will deliver the most punch for the money, especially in your case, is facial resurfacing using CO2 laser or Renuvion (j-plasma). Not only will the quality of your skin improve greatly, but your jowls will tighten up as well. I hope the help and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
