I am a 40 year old women who had under eye filler done 5 years ago that resulted in swelling, Tyndall effect and malar bags. It also stretched my skin. It has been suggested that it be removed and then a combo of Morpheus 8 and full face co2 with PRF injections. I’m quite fearful of the Co2 laser and I’m wondering if Morpheus 8 alone will provide enough tightening?

Answer: Morpheus8 and co2 Thank you so much for your question. Before I get to the answer it is always best to remember that nothing replaces an in person consultation and treatment with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Only they have rigorous training and rigorous examinations that ensure that you’re getting the absolute best. You wouldn’t want anyone other than a cardiac surgeon working on your heart and you should have same standards for your cosmetic procedures. The plan and treatment or only as good as the person performing them. We have both in our clinic and Generally speaking we also make the same recommendations - as the combo is much more superior reality. However there are some patients that do great with just one or the other so we often start with just one and see how it goes. If you have bags under your eyes, you may also want to consider adding accutite to the mix. It is currently the best non surgical lower blepharoplasty on the market. The only issue is pricing as if you split them up you are paying for room prep time and extra doctors time with each individually - so if thats not an issue definitely start with one. The settings are really important as I find that spa / manufacturer recommended settings arent always great. Cant stress the importance of the operator - especially when the goal is to fix rather than just maintain the gains. Happy to help - good luck

Answer: Addressing hollow lower eyelids Even though there is some tissue tightening from radio frequency I'm afraid it will not produce what it is you may be looking for. The hollowness in the lower eyelid area is still needs to be filled out and the best way to fill that area out is with your own fat. When an expert plastic surgeon performs a fat transfer procedure the results are extremely natural and practically permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
