Is Morpheus8 right for me? Want my jaw/chin to be sleeker, thinner and more contoured. (photos)

Question

I’m a 28 year old male that is 6’1 and 188 pounds. I use to be 300 pounds, so even after loosing the weight I always had a full face. I started working out, got buccal fat removed and underchin lipo and the results were amazing. However, I still feel I have a full face that is only contoured if I take pictures at certain angles etc. Is Morpheus8 what I’m looking for to help my jaw/chin be sleeper and thinner and give my face in general more contour?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

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.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss!  You may have the best outcome from a combination of treatments.  Botox can help reduce masseter muscles.  Fillers can help sculpt the jawline.  AccuTite uses RF technology to tighten skin.  Morpheus8 treatments can improve overall skin tone and texture.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend the FaceTite procedure that we offer. This is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a cannula with radio frequency to melt the fat in the treated area and then we remove the unwanted melted fat cells with liposuction. We then use Morpheus8 to do superficial skin tightening to eliminate possibility of unwanted laxity. We would love to have you come in for a complementary consultation so we can see the area in person and give you more in- depth information.
