Would I benefit from Morpheus under eyes or blepharoplasty? (photo)

Question

Hi! I feel like I don't have a lot of fat under my eyes but they're so dark and have veins. I would like more fullness without fillers. Have already done PRF. I saw a Botox person today who had AMAZING fullness and smoothness under her eyes and she said she did Morpheus there. But couldn't that melt what fat I have left there? What would you recommend? Thank you!

For some reason Morpheus is getting a bad rap for melting fat and I'm not sure why.  We've not seen it in the 6 years we've been performing Morpheus in the office, unless it's intentionally set high as we do in the submental area to melt undesirable under chin fat. Otherwise, Morpheus, when done correctly, by trained practitioners, should only strengthen the skin by physically stimulating collagen and elastin production. Morpheus should also not be confused with Facetite or Bodytite, part of the InMode collection,  which are used in combination with Liposuction to remove fat and tighten the skin. Again, done in the right areas, with proper training, the results are remarkable.

Hi, Looking at your photos it seems from your photos that you have more of a hooded eye situation than anything. I would not recommend a blepharoplasty but Morpheus8 could be a great option for tightening around they eye area. This uses collagen induction therapy as well as heat using radiofrequency to help tighten and contour the eye area. Please feel free to make a complimentary consultation at any of my 10 locations in MA. Our Boston office number is 617-923-0396. Thank you and I hope this helps to answer your question/ concern.

Morpheus8 combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture of the skin.  You still may benefit from fillers to add the volume you are wanting.  Visit with an expert provider to learn more about the treatment.

For under-eye concerns like dark circles, veins, and skin texture, treatments like Morpheus, Neogen, or CO2 are excellent options for thickening and tightening the skin. These modalities help improve smoothness and discoloration by stimulating collagen production, but they do not restore or add volume. If you’re looking for fullness, fillers might be a more appropriate choice. However, these energy-based treatments can significantly enhance skin quality and smoothness in the area.

Morpheus under local anesthesia is painless and really improves the skin around the eyes. It won't get rid of fat if your doc uses the 1 and 2 mm settings.
