Can Facetite touch what a facelift can't?

Question

I recently had a deep plane facelift and buccal fat removal. However, my perioral mounds/mouth fat/mouth "pouches" remain. This still creates a slight marionette on my face. I have read many times that a facelift cannot do much to affect this area. So, my question is, can Facetite target this area to melt the fat causing the mouth fat bulges on either side of my mouth?

FaceTite is an option to address the face and neck.  This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighen skin and melt fat.  For more precise areas AccuTite can be used.  Morpheus8 treatments address overall skin tone and texture.  One of these options, or a combination may manage your concerns.  Visit a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Hello, hope you are well. It would be helpful to see some photos of the problem that you are describing. FaceTite is bipolar radiofrequency that is usually applied to the whole lower half of the face. For a smaller area of concern, AccuTite would probably be a better option. It's the same type of energy system, but with a smaller handpiece for a more precise application. There may be an even better option yet, but it's hard to comment further without photos or an in-person consultation. Good luck!
Best,Dr. Tower

Dear Fabulous808315,Thank you for providing photos. FaceTite and Morpheus 8 are both great treatment options for addressing laxity. In my practice I often combine the two to give patients the best possible outcome.
If you’re planning to lose weight, I recommend waiting until you’ve reached your goal weight before getting any procedures done. Gaining or losing more than 10 pounds will effect your results and will make it more challenging for your provider to give you what you want. 
Based on your photos, it does not appear that you have significant laxity. Something like Morpheus 8 or Potenza might be enough to give you the improvement you’re interested in. Hope that helps!
