Can Morpheus8 or other non invasive treatments help with cankles?

Question

I have cankles - fat ankles, willl Morpheus 8 help reduce these fat pockets? Or is there another noninvasive procedure that can help.

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.

Liposuction with the tiny canulas under local anesthesia really shapes calves and ankles so easy and nice.  Nothing else really helps much at all.

Morpheus is helpful for any pinchable fat pocket.  Regular morpheus treats to a depth of 4mm with some fat destruction and body morpheus treats even deeper

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An in person evaluation is recommended for the most accurate recommendation, but you may be a candidate for liposuction.  Often smaller areas are able to be treated in an office surgical suite under local anesthetic.  I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
