Scheduled for FacetTite on jowls/jawline & Morpheus8 (x2, 2 wks apart). Can I expect good results? (photos)

I've performed many FaceTite procedures and find that it works well, but it is important to realize what it can and cannot do. I always tell patients that with Facetite they can expect to see the biggest change in their neck. Realistically, you can expect to see about 40% of the result that a facelift would provide, but the procedure can be performed with very minimal incisions. You may see some minor change in your jowls with Facetite, but generally I find the change is not dramatic.

When a patient's jowl are their main concern, I suggest a facelift. A short-scar MACS facelift is what I prefer if the jowls are the main concern, but you are otherwise relatively happy with your neck.

Hi there, thank you for your question and photos. Based on your concerns, FaceTite and Morpheus8 may be a great option for you! FaceTite will soften and eliminate stubborn fat around the jawline/submental area while Morpheus8 will stimulate collagen production to tighten the skin. The result of this combination will be a tighter more defined jawline and overall lifted lower face. Good luck with your treatment!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The normal course of the aging proess is to lose volume. We lose volume in the fat pads of our faces, as well as in the underlying bone and muscles. The result is that gravity gains the upper hand and pulls especially the remnants of these now more shrunken fat pads downward. Let's just look at the upper cheek fat pads as a starter. With the passage of time, upper cheek fat pads shrink and then sink downward and inward giving rise to deepening smile lines and to some extent incipient marionette lines Sinking straight downward it can also give rise to the jawline jowls. Loss of volume in the preauricular area in front of the ears can contribute greatly to the loss of definition and jowls along the jawline. So, if loss of volume is the prime mover and shaker for the development of these problems, revolumizing and repositioning of volume into a more youthful pattern with appropriately robust HA fillers in the hands of an experienced injector is the way to address them--just the opposite of using here-today-gone-tomorrow expensive gizmos that can shrink volume. And besides, unfortunately, the hard science to support these expensive "bells and whistles" lags woefully behind the heavy marketing, advertising and social media influencer hype to promote them. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist regarding the use of robust HA fillers whose results, in the hands of an experienced injector, are typically immediate and engender little to no significant downtime. Hope this helps.

FaceTite and Morpheus8 are both minimally invasive procedures that can be used to address sagging and excess fat in the lower face and jawline. FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and subcutaneous tissue, while Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and firmness.

Both procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia and involve minimal downtime and recovery. While results can vary, many patients report a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their lower face and jawline, with smoother, more defined contours and a reduction in jowls and submental fullness.

It's important to note that these procedures are not a substitute for a facelift, which can provide more dramatic and long-lasting results. However, they can be a good option for patients who are not ready for or do not want to undergo surgery, or who have more moderate concerns.

It's important to choose a qualified and experienced provider who can evaluate your specific concerns and recommend the best treatment plan for you. Be sure to discuss your expectations and any concerns you may have with your provider before undergoing any cosmetic procedure.

Best of luck !

From your photos you appear to be a candidate for FaceTite with Morpheus8 for enhancement of results. It will not produce the same results as a surgical facelift, but yes you should anticipate improvement. It's important to discuss your treatment goals with your provider so the correct procedure can be recommended for you.
