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.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear unicorn179,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, It looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

The combination of sub mental liposuction with HA fillers along jawline to give more definition is your best option. But only in person examination allows a definitive treatment plan to be formulated. Expect fees in the $5,000-$10,000 ranges.

The primary reason for your subtle double chin is that your mandible is small and lacks forward projection compared to your maxilla.

This can be seen on The third picture you posted showing your left profile.  Most likely you also have a slight dental overbite occlusion. The imbalance also presents with an upper lip that has more forward projection than the lower lip.

Having a slightly undersized mandible creates the platysma muscle to drape the neck differently than those who have a more projecting mandible.

Liposuction works well for treating the problem and addressing the primary problem is challenging though you may want to look into a sliding genioplasty or possibly a small chin implant.

I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons and or local oral surgeons.
