61, swelling under both eyes from previous Sculptra injections. Am l a candidate for Morpheus 8 under eyes? (Photos)

Dear An,
Thank you for your questions. Yes absolutely, Morpheus is definitely a good solution for this problem along with other forms of RFMN (Rediofrequency micro needling) such as Sylfirm or Scarlet. Problems like this are routinely sent to our office from other providers and we have successfully been dealing with them for at least 9 years using RFMN - my technician has 22 years experience and knows what depths and settings to use to melt the existing filler causing the edema, tighten the dilated lymphatic channels that are collecting the fluid, and also tighten the loose skin, all without melting the existing fat. Every patient is different and good clinical judgment is necessary to evaluate their tissues and determine the right treatments settings so it is very important for you to go to a proper establishment under the guidance of an experienced board certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist. RFMN is not only good for filler induced water balloons or fluid retention under the eyes, but also good for keeping our eyelids appearing youthful with annual maintenance treatments since our eyelid skin sags at least 1 mm per year as we age. I hope this information was helpful for you An and wishing you best of luck in your quest !

Sincerely,
