Will I see FaceTite results soon after surgery?

Question

Hi. I consulted with facial plastic surgeons about FaceTite with liposuction to remove submental fat and tighten my skin. Will I see my new contoured and chiseled jawline soon after surgery?

Thank you for your question! The first week after surgery you will experience swelling and possibly bruising. However, shortly after that when the swelling subsides, you should notice a more contoured face. You will improvements up to 6 months fro0m your Facetite procedure. Wearing a compression garment will help minimize the swelling. Best of luck!

It will take six months to see the final result after surgery. I tell patients that they can expect to see only 20 to 30% of an improvement soon after surgery, but that it takes much longer to see the final result as the skin contracts.

So I don't know too many facial plastic surgeons, however as a board certified plastic surgeon who does FaceTite regularly, I feel the results I'm seeing come in two phases:  the first phase is about a month after the procedure and the second phase in about 9-12 months after the procedure.  I link my FaceTite treatments of submental fat with a series of 2-3 Morpheus treatments with exosome treatments.  The Facetite contours the jawline and that result I see at 1 month.  The Morpheus with exosomes will tighten the skin as the collagen turns over; that process occurs over 9-12 months.  Best Wishes!!
