How soon after lipo can I get Morpheus8?

Question

I had lipo on my abdomen almost 3 months ago. How soon can I get a Morpheus8 or another skin tightening procedure?

Danielle Shanley, MD · Answer

This is a great question! The Morpheus8 treatment is safe to do immediately after a lipo procedure. I would highly recommend at least three morpheus treatments, 4 to 6 weeks apart for best results. The reason for this is because once there is fat loss, the skin need helps with collagen and elastin stimulation.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Thank you for your question. There is no specific time frame in between liposuction and Morpheus8 treatments. Commonly, liposuction and Morpheus8 are combined during the same procedure. However, when receiving multiple Morpheus8 treatments, it is advised to wait 2-6 weeks in between those treatments. Please be sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to make sure this is the right step for you. Good luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you can do skin tightening on the same day or during aftercare. there is no need to wait. we start RF And trusculpt at 2 weeks and morpheus same time then every 2 months with or without lasers.  Start dermarolling weekend (see emeragecosmetics emerageskin x aerify roller link).  Best, Dr. Emer.
