How often does FaceTite cause contour problems?

Question

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I have not seen FaceTite cause any contour issues in patients that I have treated.  I have also not heard from other doctors that this is a problem that has been seen.

Thank you for your question!  It's difficult to say without an evaluation.  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

Basically the FaceTite Procedure is a subcutaneous radio frequency skin tightening procedure. Contour problems should be minimal. It's more likely to get a nerve injury. On the other hand, FaceTite is often done with facial liposuction and this can cause facial contour deformities. I often combine procedures with the FaceTite procedure. We call these Romo Hybrids. These include platysmaplasty, chin implant, Morpheous 8, Temporal and mastoid pinches. Like all invasive facial procedures, an experienced physician should be the one to perform this procedure.
