Would Morpheus8 help minimize the appearance of my double chin? 37 y/o female, 197 lbs and in the weight loss process (photos)

Question

I am a 37 year old female, 5'4" tall, and 197 lbs (in the process of losing weight). Would Morpheus8 reduce my double chin? I'm leaning more towards this procedure (or something similar) rather than liposuction because I also have some acne scarring along my jaw and chin that I believe microneedling RF would improve. Any suggestions welcome! Thank you. :)

Thank you for your question. Yes Morpheus8 will help with fat reduction and skin tightening on the submental area. I would recommend 3-6 treatments every 4-6 weeks.

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.

The effects of morpheus 8 are going to be minimal and the amount of subcutaneous and subplatysmal fat is significant. If you are against liposuction of surgery then expect your results to be minimal. It looks like your acne condition is more acute and can be improved in a number of ways. Sometimes it's better to wait until after weight loss, but I have no concerns about performing liposuction or platysmaplasty at this time.

Hello there.  I would suggest a submental coolsculpting session followed by a morpheus 8 session a month later

Morpheus8 should help. I see great improvements on my clients double chin. I would recommend for you to do it once you have lost the weight you desire or are close to your weight loss goal, that way the procedure can help you improve skin laxity as well. You can also look into tite, from the makers of Morpheus8 you are a great candidate based on these pictures.
