Jowls/excess fat, nearly 30, considering buccal fat removal or FaceTite, what do you think is best? (Photos)

Facetite would be a great option for your concerns. The procedure is minimally invasive using radio frequency to liquefy the fat. Using a small cannula, we will remove the liquefied fat. We do recommend following this procedure with Morpheus 8 to tighten any lax skin. Morpheus 8 uses radio frequency and micro-needling to promote collagen production to tighten and help with overall tone/texture of the area treated.

Before jumping into expensive facelift surgery (especially at such a young age) with its risks for infection, scarring, and prolonged post-surgical downtime, or investing in expensive RF or ultrasound gizmos whose hard science to prove their usefulness lags well behind the heavy marketing hype and social media buzz, you may wish to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic to discuss the use of a robust HA filler for contouring the lower face and straightening and tightening the jawline. In experienced hands, this should take no more than about fifteen minutes to perform and engenders little to no significant downtime. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thanks for your question. You will likely get more of what you are looking for with PDO Thread Lifting. Thread Lifting is a procedure which utilizes dissolving suture material (the barbed threads) to reposition the soft tissues of the face. The threads gradually dissolve but they leave new collagen formation behind. A thread lift is usually done once a year initially, but after a few sessions you'd likely find that you can do it every 2 years (due to the collagen accumulation which extends the life of the result). MINT PDO threads are some of the best on the market. The result will depend significantly on the expertise of the provider and the number of threads used. More threadsmore result and longer effect. 8 to 10 per side is a generous number. Much less than that and you may be disappointed.

I think you will have the best results from a combination of treatments. You can consider FaceTite or even Morpheus8 to address the skin tone and texture of the lower face. Fillers can also be used to help define contours and lessen the appearance of early jowling. I encourage you to visit with an expert injector near you to learn more.
