How long should one wait with Face Tite, after a Face and Necklift? (photos)

Question

Hello! How long should one wait with Face Tite, after a Face-and Necklift? Is it possible to use Face Tite before the Face-/Necklift is done (let's say 2 weeks prior operation?) Or will Face Tite alone do 'the job' for me? Are you familiar with Silk'n Face Tite, a home device?

Gregory S. Keller, MD, FACS · Answer

I, as well as others, often use FaceTite simultaneously with a Facelift or, particularly, a neck lift. My experience is that, with very loose skin, it can give an extra amount of tightening, articulately in the lower neck.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

FaceTite is an actual surgical procedure and cannot be done weeks prior to a facelift. This would cause difficulty in performing the facelift so soon afterwards. FaceTite is, rather, an alternative  to a facelift and can produce results consistent with a mini facelift. There are intangibles about a full facelift procedure that FaceTite cannot reproduce. In the end, the decision about which procedure is best comes from a combination of your goals and your specific anatomy.

Thank you for your photos. I would recommend doing the FaceTite alone rather than a Face and NeckLift. 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. Collagen is responsible for skin elasticity and contributes to a youthful appearance. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.

I think FaceTite can produce around 40% of a surgical necklift result in the appropriate candidate.  If that number resonates with you then this might be the procedure for you. If you are looking for more of a dramatic result then a surgical alternative may be more appropriate.

I perform FaceTite as an isolated procedure for necks instead of neck lift because patients ask me to provide them with minimally invasive options. Patients have been happy with the results so far.
