Lines and divots in face 1 year after FaceTite - advice? (photos)

Question

Hi, I had facetite and buccal fat removal done on the same day a year ago. I see on both sides of my face I have these lines and rippling. I also feel like one side is missing a chunk of tissue at the jawline. I know facial fat transfer is an option but I’m scared to mess up my face even more. Can anything be done to actually fix this? I’m also worried to do anything that will take out even more fat because I feel like my lower face already looks so weird compared to my upper face.

It's difficult to say through pictures alone. FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You do have an area of hollowing after the treatment, so lost some fat in this area.  Try doing some HA filler there first.  IF you like the way that looks, you can consider doing fat which would be more permanent.
