Possible Side Effects of a Facetite

Your medical history is needed for me to give you a full description of the risks and possible side effects; but generally, the main side effects are some bleeding, scarring and possible nerve injury.

Skin tightening

You should find a physician or surgeon in your area who offers "Facetite," schedule an appointment, and have your questions answered in person, as the procedure applies to you.

I Would Like to Know the Risks and Possible Side Effects of Having Facetite.

Faceitie is a non-surgical radiofrequency device that's touted as tightening the skin of the face and body.

Radiofrequency (Thermage) has caused side... more

Each style of facelift has risks as well as advantages

It is impossible to answer your question without knowing your medical history, type of lift needed, where the surgery is to be done. etc. You should begin with consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. A portion of the consultation, usually will include an "informed consent" which answers the questions you wish. Dr. Mayl Fort Lauderdale
