Am I a good candidate for FaceTite? (Photo)

Liposuction and FaceTite of your neck, chin, and jowls seem like suitable options for you. The FaceTite will help tighten the skin in your neck and chin and define your jaw line, while liposuction will eliminate any excess fat in the areas mentioned. FaceTite should be a good fit for you. The fat behind the chin and jowls would be reduced by liposuction, and the FaceTite's radiofrequency would tighten the skin by encouraging the production of new collagen.

FaceTite would be the best option for you to see optimal results. FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that provides significant improvements safely without having large scarring or prolonged downtime. FaceTite uses a small cannula and radio frequency to liquefy and remove unwanted fat. Our clinic typically recommends additional skin tightening using the Morpheus8. Morpheus8 is a combination of micro-needling and radio frequency, to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. You would see best results with this combination treatment! 

FaceTite is a great choice for treating your concerns of tightening the lower face and enhancing jaw definition. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to target and heat the deep layers of the skin, which stimulates collagen production and tightens the underlying tissues. This leads to a more contoured and youthful appearance where improvements can be seen for up to 12 months.

Determining whether FaceTite is a suitable procedure for you involves several factors, including your specific aesthetic goals, skin quality, and overall health. FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and reduce fat, which can enhance jawline definition and provide a subtle lift to areas such as the corners of the mouth and cheeks.

Here are some considerations to help determine if FaceTite might be right for you:

### Ideal Candidates for FaceTite:
1. **Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity**: FaceTite is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. It might not be as effective for severe sagging or very loose skin.
2. **Good Skin Quality**: Younger patients, like those in their late 20s, often have better skin elasticity, which can lead to more noticeable results.
3. **Localized Fat Deposits**: If you have localized fat deposits around the jawline and neck, FaceTite can help contour these areas.
4. **Desire for Minimally Invasive Procedure**: FaceTite is less invasive than traditional facelift surgery, with shorter recovery times and less scarring.
5. **Realistic Expectations**: It's important to have realistic expectations about the results. While FaceTite can provide significant improvement, it may not achieve the same level of lifting as a surgical facelift.

### Benefits of FaceTite:
- **Enhanced Jawline Definition**: FaceTite can help reduce fat and tighten the skin around the jawline, enhancing its definition.
- **Lifting Effect**: The procedure can provide a mild to moderate lifting effect, improving the appearance of the cheeks and corners of the mouth.
- **Minimally Invasive**: With small incisions and less downtime compared to surgical options.

### Consultation with a Specialist:
To determine if FaceTite is the best option for you, it's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in facial contouring procedures. During the consultation, the specialist will:
- Evaluate your skin quality and elasticity.
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations.
- Review your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate.
- Provide a personalized treatment plan and discuss alternative options if necessary.

### Alternative Treatments:
If FaceTite is not suitable, other treatments might be recommended, such as:
- **Dermal Fillers**: To add volume and lift to the cheeks and corners of the mouth.
- **Ultherapy or Thermage**: Non-invasive skin tightening treatments using ultrasound or radiofrequency energy.
- **Kybella**: An injectable treatment to reduce submental fat (double chin).

### Next Steps:
1. **Schedule a Consultation**: Book an appointment with a qualified specialist to discuss your goals and concerns.
2. **Prepare Questions**: Have a list of questions ready about the procedure, recovery, risks, and expected outcomes.
3. **Consider Multiple Opinions**: It can be beneficial to consult with more than one specialist to ensure you receive the best advice tailored to your needs.

By taking these steps, you can make an informed decision about whether FaceTite or another treatment is the best option to achieve your desired facial contouring and lifting results.

Hello; In your 20s, for defining the jawline; Neck Lift is the last thing to consider. In order to tighten the skin; I recommend for Renuvion J Plasma or Facetite -Necktite procedures; after removing fat from the jawline, neck and chin areas with Vaserlipo.

FaceTite is a good option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who are not quite ready to consider a surgical neck lift. The minimally invasive procedure does not require general anesthesia and is performed in the office. Results may be enhanced by adding Morpheus8 treatments. I welcome you to learn more by visiting a provider near you or by reviewing my website.

Thanks for your question. Based on your images it looks like you would be a great candidate for this procedure. FaceTite cannot be performed on anyone with an implanted device such as a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator. There are otherwise very few contraindications. It does look like you have a bit of a prominence of the submental fat pad (double chin) so you may want to discuss with your provider pairing the FaceTite with some targeted liposuction there or at the very least to combine it with Morpheus8 (a handpiece that operates off the same platform as the FaceTite) which can be set to dissolve excess fat cells. So, in other words the FaceTite does the skin tightening but you'd benefit from pairing it with a procedure to remove or dissolve excess fat cells in the double chin zone.

No, at age 27 your skin tone is still excellent and will offer you very little to no benefit. You have fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck from your chin all the way along your jawline back towards your ear. These deposits above the muscle are removed with liposuction, while the deposits below the muscle are surgically removed, then a platysma plasty is performed, which will significantly improve your jawline. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, which takes about an hour and a half as an outpatient procedure.
