Female, sagging cheeks, 56kg, age 22, could Morpheus8 help? (Photos)

Question

I am almost 22 (female) and have pretty bad sagging cheeks, considering I am at a healthy weight (56kg) and go to the gym 6 times a week. Overall, the lower half of my face has a lot of weight to it, and my jawline is not defined at all, which frustrates me, because once again, I lead a healthy lifestyle, and my immediate family members do not have this issue. I have been told Morpheus8 may help, but I have read several mixed reviews about this treatment... and very few reviews by people my age.

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.

Morpheus8 would be great for your cheeks and jowls. Morpheus8 can definitely help contour and tighten the lower face.

At age 22, you did not have sagging cheeks. You have a recessive chin profile based on the limited side photograph. Consider placement of a small chin implant to augment your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. In our practice, we place chin implants under local anesthesia, which takes about 30 minutes.
