Hello it’s difficult to see judge your results as you don’t have any before pics. Clearly you have some contour irregularity and this will require a surgical procedure for correction.

I use FaceTite for necks and jowls.  The areas are treated effectively.  It looks like you had fat removal as well.  The volume can be re-established with fat graft or fillers.  The loosening of the skin my need surgical treatment.

Hi and thanks for the question. I would need to see your " before " photos to give you an honest opinion. In general, your after photos demonstrate that you have a significant amount of laxity of the lower face.  Facetite certainly improved lower facial laxity to an incredible degree, but it has it does have its limitations. It is not a neck lift and isn't marketed as such. I would consult with your physician with any concerns. Best of luck,Doctor Vallecillos, MD, FACS, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Beverly Hills, CA

Results from FaceTite can take up to 6 months to fully appreciate the effects of the treatment. You should see additional improvement over the coming months. Make sure that you followup with your provider and they take photos to be able to compare the before/after.

Dear Haverim,
I am sorry about your disappointment. Unfortunately, it is hard to evaluate the result without before photos and an in-person evaluation. I do see a nice neck-chin angle but there is some extra skin. 
Fortunately, you still have a few months to go before seeing the final result. For peace of mind, you can consider what the result would have been without FaceTite. FaceTite has been shown to reduce up to 38% of skin surface area after 6 months.
Having said that, you're getting there, and it is very possible that have too much skin to achieve the result you desire without skin excision (i.e., a neck lift). I am sorry again that you are disappointed - be upfront with your plastic surgeon about it - but I imagine you are looking at perhaps the best result achievable with today's technology, short of a neck lift.
I hope this helps and you still look great,

I am sorry to hear of your disappointment with your procedure. Although it's difficult to tell without an in-person exam, you may need some removal of skin in the neck area (hiding the incisions behind the ears) with contouring of the the underlying tissues.

FaceTite is a revolutionary advancement in plastic surgery that allows a minimally invasive approach to correct problems.  To get the best results, it needs to be properly utilized.  In addition, the post-operative treatment may a little more attention, than liposuction alone.  The firm and irregular area under the neck is common, and may require a minor treatment to improve the result.   Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and let him help you during this time.
