Help for double chin on one side - suggestions? (photos)

Question

I have never had a defined jawline, but one side of my face is more saggy/ fat than the other and it really bothers me. I am unsure of the best procedure or treatment. My dermatologist recommended EVOKE treatment. I and am wary of liposuction or fat destroying treatments because I worry about the lost volume making my chin even more saggy and droopy. Any suggestions or thoughts on treatment?! I don’t know what to trust and am scared of making it worse. Please help!

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.

​I find that VASER liposuction in combination with Renuvion or ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with Thermage/Ultherapy/Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or Coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

almost everyone has a 'side' which is 'less wide' structurally than the 'opposite side'. That means that one side will 'show' more 'under the jawline' tissue. Fat removal is usually not the issue
