Does Precision Tx really work on jowls?

Question

I got the precision tx treatment 4 weeks ago on my neck and chin area/jowls. Under my chin it's still swollen but I see no change in my jowls at all. After the procedure I wore the neck wrap for 48 hrs straight and after that I wore it 10 hrs per day for the next 3 days. I'm concerned that wasn't enough. I'm worried that my jowls won't tighten! Maybe I should have done a lower face lift instead? Please advise? Will this still eventually tighten?!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure! While it's a little difficult to determine what your experiencing without images, you are still going through the healing process and should still see some additional tightening. I would give yourself some additional time to heal, at least 6 months, before reevaluating some of your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck and congratulations again!

A person’s age is best guessed by the appearance of their face. If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel inside, you may be a candidate for a facelift.During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect.If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives.Patients who desire facial rejuvenation that is affordable, quick, and effective should consider the Lite-lift™. Like the Life-Style™ facelift, this is a modified facelift that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are patients 35-60 years old with early changes of the lower face and the neck. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or general anesthetic can be improved with a Lite Lift™. Also, Lite Lift™ surgery is individualized for each patient and ideal candidates are those with well defined bone structure and do not smoke.

This is tough to answer without pictures. Usually a combination approach is needed including: Sculptra, Thermage, Ultherapy, Venus Legacy and fillers. Vaser with ThermiRF are also great options, if you're a candidate. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question. The areas treated with the Precision Tx, particularly when it comes to fatty areas like the jowls and under the chin, can continue to remodel/improve for about 9 months. At that point you are not likely to see further improvement. You can consider Morpheus8 to target any residual fatty zones if you wish, and that is non-invasive and with minor downtime (no need for the head wrap). I hope that helps!

Final results are about 3 months but definitely in 1 month you should see some results. You did not post pictures and it is difficult to tell.
