I'm strongly considering facetite. However, most of the before and after photos don't have similar issues as I do. Their necks are heavier and mine is thin? I do not want to burn what little fat I have and create more sagging. Also, why do doctors recommend fractora as well? And if my jawline/low face is fairly strong, will facetite make it look better or worse if I include lower face (recommended)?

Answer: FaceTite on long thin neck FaceTite can help to tighten the neck and lower face but it will not improve platysmal bands, which it appears that you have. FaceTite primarily tightens the tissue deeper under the skin than Fractora will. Fractora helps more with wrinkling on the skin itself. The one option you mentioned, being FaceTite of the neck and lower face and Fractora, is certainly a valid one. FaceTite can be done so that it stays a little more superficial and does not enter the fat layer, so be sure to communicate that to the physician treating you. If you did not want to do all of it, another option would be to just do the Fractora first. This is a quicker recovery and would mainly help improve the lines in the skin of your neck and produce some general tightening. Results from these procedures are still not going to be a dramatic as those achieved with surgery though.

Answer: Sagging Skin Facetite will tighten the lower face and upper neck but will not be that effective on the platysmal bands that you have. I combine Morpheus with Facetite on most of my facial procedures. Fractora and Morpheus are similar devices made by the same company: InMode. Morpheus is the newest version of this technology that combines microneedling with the addition of radiofrequency. Both devices are great for tightening the skin and dermal layer. Combing both Facetite and Morpheus or Fractora will improve your overall results. Take care.Timothy A. Janiga MD, FACS
