FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for your question. Please could you post a front picture and direct side view it is very hard to examine and advise from this image. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve. All The Best
You may benefit from both procedures, but it's not possible to answer this question without seeing more images (and ideally an in-person consultation). You should submit frontal, lateral, and three quarter views.
Thank you for your question.The photo is not very helpful. I would suggest posting another photo with a frontal and profile pictures so that we can answer your question.
Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, silastic facial implants (cheek, chin or lip implants), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. From the photo, your chin is quire weak as are the back portions of the jaw line. There is a slight bit of excess fat under the posterior jaw line and the chin but there are no signs of "jowls". When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck. Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut segments of bone). I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. Since there are no jowls, you would not be considered a candidate for any type of facelift procedure as described below. If you have "jowls” these are sagging facial tissues and an indication for some form of a SMAS facelift. The underlying SMAS layer, of the face, must be dissected, lifted, trimmed and re-sutured (not merely folded or suspended with threads or sutures that will not last). The excess skin is then removed and the facelift incisions closed. My most popular SMAS facelift is the minimally invasive, short incision SMAS facelift that has all the benefits of more invasive facelifts (traditional, mid-face, deep plane, cheek lift and subperiosteal facelifts) but with these added benefits:very small incisions and no incisions extend or are placed within the hair.minimal tissue dissection = less bruising and swelling = rapid recovery ( several days instead of weeks or months with the more invasive type facelifts mentioned)can be performed in 90 minutes or less, with or without general anesthesiano incisions within the hair = no hair lossexcess fat can be removed from the face and neckexcess skin removed from the face and neckcheeks, chin and jaw line can be augmented with dermal fillers (I prefer Restylane Lyft) or facial implantsmost patients fly back home to parts all over the world in as little as 3 days post-opI combine facial shaping with every facelift procedure. When jowls are present, these should be done in concert and not alone or separately in order to create a naturally, more attractive face.Hope this helps.
Thanks for your question. Yes, I think you can go back to any skin care regimen that you'd like at this point. Your skin looks great in the photo! Keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Hello and thanks for the question. There are a variety of options for re-suspending the tissue during a mini-facelift. For the deeper layers, it would be very unusual for staples to be used. Generally the muscle layer is resuspended with some type of suture, either absorbable or...
Thank you for the question. Facelift costs vary widely, depending on exactly what kind of work is being done, etc. For a true mini-lift, in the SF Bay Area, costs are around $8,000-11,000. Anesthesia and facility costs can be additional, depending on where your procedure is performed. It is ...
