Swelling in jowls months after AccuTite! Why is this & what can I do? (Photos)

CrysRNSep 13, 2022
I had accutite done to my jowls, jawline and under chin area 2 months ago. I have read on multiple sites and from the physician himself that swelling would only last about a week. However, the swelling seems to be getting worse as time passes, not better. I have not gained weight or changed my facial regimen, no new meds, diet changes or anything of the sort. I even do facial lymph massages to release any fluid build up. But it does absolutely nothing. I’m beyond frustrated by this!!

Well, I think Accutite would be the safest way to approach this. I would pair it with Morpheus radiofrequency microneedling to help tighten the skin after gently contouring these areas. I routinely do small cannula liposuction in all areas I treat with Accutite to help remove the melted fat. ...

This needs an in-person evaluation. A combination of 5/FU steroids, lasers, microneedling/prp and radiofrequency can give improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I would definitely keep Morpheus and Accutite on the menu to start, but then add Restylane and Sculptra as fillers. Keep the Inmode treatments on the lower part of the face to reverse the aging changes and fill the upper part of the face to create a natural heart shaped face. Photofacial/IPL...

I agree! I think these small facial asymmetries should be mapped out carefully and the treated with Inmode Accutite and Morpheus to not only melt some fat, but also tighten the skin. Another less effective technique could be Kybella, but personally the Accutite in our hands has been awesome! ...
