I'm thinking about FaceTite. Is that a good choice for my goal or not? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I'm 30 years old and looking for tightening skin on my neck and reduce amount of fat in this area. I would like that my chin and under chin area looking more "sharp". Which procedure I have to try? So far I'm thinking about FaceTite... is that a good choice for my goal or not? Thank you

I think you would be a great candidate for the FaceTite procedure! It can reduce the amount of fat under your chin and tighten the tissues on your neck and jowel areas, to create a more sculpted and defined neck line and jaw line. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation to keep you comfortable. You can expect to have swelling and some bruising, but you should be able to return to your normal activities in a week or less. A benefit of FaceTite is that you will see some improvement immediately, and this will continue to get better in the following months. Best of luck to you!

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

Facetite is a great new treatment option for patients unwilling to have a surgical facelift. When used appropriately, the patient satisfaction rate is extremely high. An often unsung benefit of facetite, is its use in younger patients who have a lack of jawline definition. While many of those patients may have excess fat underneath the chin, there is also often a skin laxity component that the liposuction doesn't address. I have been using facetite on those patients and believe the result to be far superior than liposuction alone. This looks like your situation and you should seriously consider this combined treatment.

Thank you for sharing your question and photo. You appear to be an excellent candidate for FaceTite with a small amount of sub mental liposuction. This procedure will directly address your concerns about your ill defined jawline and provide you with more definition. The addition of the liposuction will help to enhance the jawline definition by removing unwanted fat. With regards to your question about your chin appearing more "sharp", it may be the case that you are a candidate for a small chin implant to achieve this goal. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who is experienced with FaceTite. Best of luck, Dr. Kian.

FaceTite and liposuction of the those areas can be done, but this must be done carefully as it is very easy to see cannula marks in this area.

Thank you for your photo. Based on your photos, FaceTite would be a good option for you. FaceTite is a new procedure that utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to simultaneously dissolve fat and tighten the skin. The key the use of radiofrequency energy provides controlled and gentle heat that encourages both the breakdown of fat and the production of collagen within the body. It is difficult to say without a photo. I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

A great way to improve your jawline and the overall contour of your neck (submental) area would be liposuction with a procedure known as FaceTite. This would reduce the fatty pocket under your chin while tightening the skin in the area, resulting in a more defined jaw and neck area.  Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate.

Mark H. Peters, MD · Answer

Thank you the question and appreciate the photo. Face Tite is excellent for this situation even when you have very little fat tissue.  Treating the neck skin will tighten it followed by liposuction for contouring will provide improved definition of the jawline. It is important you express your expectations from this procedure when you have your consultation with a plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Michael T. Somenek, MD · Answer

I think you would be an appropriate candidate for the Facetite procedure. It not only can tighten the tissues from the radiofrequency energy, but can target the fat cells as well in the submental area that is bothering you. There is little downtime associated with it and it can produce a lasting result.

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and submitting your picture. Yes, FaceTite would be an excellent choice for you as it will both reduce the fat below the chin while tightening the skin. You can expect some significant swelling for 1-2 weeks. There is progressive improvement in the skin tightening effects for 6 or more months. We combine this procedure with Venus Legacy and Zimmer Z Wave in the first two weeks following the procedure to speed up the healing process. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
