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.

Best,

Ultherapy could get rid of it, however it usually takes several sessions to see any kind of result, and is extremely painful each time. If you are between Ultherapy and Lipo, I would go for Lipo. If you are open to other options, I would highly recommend CoolSculpting or Kybella as these or non surgical options to eliminate unwanted fat. Being that you really don't have an incredibly large amount of fat under your chin, these may be much more "pleasant" than Lipo.
