Is a radio-frequency facelift appropriate to reduce a double chin?

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.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In my opinion, I would suggest something non-invasive. Kybella, micro needle radio frequency with the new Profound device, CoolSculpting and  SculptSure would all be recommended. As with any procedure, the physician is more important than the device in utilized.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star

If there is excess fat under the chin without excess skin, I would say the best method to improve this is with liposuction.  CoolSculpting and SculpSure can also reduce fat in that area to some extent.  Another option would be Kybella injections.  It would be very unusual for a 20 year old to have excess skin under the chin, so most 20 year olds do not need skin tightening in this area.  Since you mentioned that the area of fat under your chin is very small, Kybella might be a good option for you.
