I have no idea how to explain it lol [but you can see it on the photo’s I’ve looked into Kybella but i’m reading lots of negative reviews, now i’m considering Morpheus 8 but

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.

It appears that the height of your chin is very short with a deep mentolabial fold. I would a sliding genioplasty to lengthen your chin. This will balance your lower face and reduce the focus on your chin.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It sounds like you may be dealing with submental fullness or a double chin, which can be a common concern for individuals of all body types and ages. While there are many factors that can contribute to this issue, such as genetics, age, and weight fluctuations, there are several non-surgical treatment options available that can help improve the appearance of this area. Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that works by destroying fat cells in the targeted area, such as under the chin. However, as you mentioned, it may not be the best option for everyone and can have some side effects. Morpheus 8 is another non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency technology to tighten and contour the skin. This treatment can also help to reduce the appearance of submental fullness.Overall, it's best to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for your specific concerns. They can discuss your options and help you create a personalized treatment plan that is safe and effective.
