Would Facetite or Ultherapy give me good result? I don't want to waste money on something that won't (Photo)

Question

Would it tighten under chin and neck ? Is a facelift better for long term?

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

You will usually get the best result with a true facelift.  However you should get a good result with facetite.  I think you have too much fat in the neck to see much improvement with Ulthera.  With facetite,  you will get some reduction of the fat in the jowls and neck and some skin tightening.  Liposuction is done at the same time as the facetite, so that more of the fat will be removed giving you a better jaw and neck line.  While there is no cutting with the Facetite, you can get pretty swollen for a few days.

at age 50 I would consider Facetite.  Ulthera is just not really what you need.  Facetite can sculpt your face and neck without large incisisons.  A facelift seems aggressive but it does depend on your goals. Best Wishes!!

Hello Kentucky50, It’s a pleasure to answer your questions!
You have a cherubic face so don't need a facelift yet. Based on your pictures and description, I would recommend getting a FaceTite and NeckTite procedure. FaceTite
 is a leading-edge, one-hour contouring solution procedure for the face 
and small areas of the body that helps patients achieve results similar 
to a facelift without excisional surgery. With FaceTite
 and NeckTite, patients who would prefer
 to avoid surgery and general anesthesia, can remove excess body and 
facial fat without leaving behind saggy, wrinkly skin. Recovery time 
required for these procedures is remarkably short (24-48 hours), and 
also pain-free, relative to traditional lipolysis
 methods. Using radio-frequency (RF) technology, the surgeon places a 
small probe beneath the skin that heats the tissues causing them to 
contract and tighten. Furthermore, FaceTite can be combined with liposuction in the jowls, chin and neck areas to attain
 more contouring and a more overall youthful appearance.
 Request an in-person consultation with an 
experienced plastic surgeon to assess your candidacy
 for FaceTite and NeckTite based on your age, skin laxity and health status, among other factors. 
During the initial consultation, you will most likely have the 
opportunity to take a look at your surgeon’s before-and-after photo 
gallery of similar cases, and
 discuss your specific needs and cosmetic goals. Kind regards! Dr. De La
 Cruz.

Based on a photo you can do facetite but you really need a face/neck lift. you have to have realistic expectations, as if you chose facetite you will only get "improvement" you will not get a drastic change.With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles.  You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands
3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening
7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening
8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
see an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.
Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your questions and photos. Based on these photos, I would recommend a face and necklift with submental (under the chin) liposuction. This would lift your tissues, giving you a sharp jawline,. It would also thin and tighten the neck area .In our office, we commonly do this procedure under local anesthesia.  I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. They will be able to assess your specific anatomy and make a recommendation that is best for you. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!
