Morpheus 8 or Chin Liposuction for chubby cheeks? (photo)

Question

I’m 26 years old, 109lbs and 5’1. I’ve always had chubby cheeks and I dislike it. After my third pregnancy my face changed a lot and my cheeks got even bigger so now I look like a chipmunk and I have a double chin . Would lipo around my jawline be better or Morpheus 8?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill, Contour) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Each person‘s individual look is primarily related to facial bone structure.

In your case your mid face is dominant and large compared to the lower third of your face.

In other words your mandible is small in relationship to your maxilla.

It has less to do with soft tissues than bone structure.

In that sense removing volume around the lower 1/3 of your face will be counterproductive.

Liposuction can help improve the jawline and reduce a double chin.

Understanding what the fundamental problem is helps people recognize the inherent limitations of treatments that do not directly treat the problem.
