Agnes RF or Morpheus8 for unwanted fat near my perioral area?

Question

I have some fat near my perioral area that won't go away. I got buccal fat removal, but it didnt help. I was wondering if Agnes RF or Morpheus8 would be better to target and "melt" unwanted fat by my lower face/cheeks and near the corners of my mouth. I have researched these two and it seems that they both target fat. I also am not interested in having filler. What do you think?

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.
