Jason Emer, MD · Answer

"I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer."

Hi! Thank you for your question about face and neck rejuvenation and your options for achieving that. I believe that you would get the best result from chin liposuction. However, I would also suggest you couple chin liposuction with Morpheus 8 to help tighten the skin. I often do those procedures together, while the patient is already under anesthesia. The liposuction will help de-bulk the area and get rid of the fat, while the Morpheus will help to tighten and lift the skin.

I typically suggest 3 consecutive treatments of Morpheus 8, 4-6 weeks apart. The first treatment can be done intra-operatively, during the chin liposuction. I hope this helps!

I would say that liposuction of your neck would primarily help reduce the fullness in that area.  Morpheus8 can help to tighten the skin, but in my opinion, it would not do much for the fullness under your chin.  So, I would say that the procedures would target different issues.

Laura A. Katz, MD · Answer

Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling would be a fantastic option for your chin and face.  It is minimally invasive and causes skin tightening, collagen plumping, muscle contraction and a small amount of fat loss if desired.
