Planned Facelift next year, can I do Facetite now?

Question

Hi, I have plans to get a face & neck lift next year, since this year I'm having a tummy tuck, lipo & BodyTite on my arms. The surgeon will also do FaceTite at the same time. Would adding in FaceTite 'buy me more time' before getting a facelift? Or Could it interfere with getting better results from the 'real' facelift? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

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

Hi there,Thank you for your question. The great thing about minimally invasive treatments like FaceTite is that they do not preclude you from getting a Facelift in the future. You can absolutley decide to get a Facelift down the line. You are correct and you may even find that it "buys you some time" so you can post pone your facelift longer. Many clients do Morpheus 8 Treatments to maintain their FaceTite result too! Hope that helps and good luck with your upcoming treatments!

If you are actually planning to have a facelift in the near future (within 2-3 years), I would not recommend undergoing a Facetite. The healing and contraction that occurs continues for at least 12 months. You know it takes 3-6 month to see the results of Facetite. Therefore, the patients we have who get a facelift after Facetite must wait at least 15 month. In addition to the expense of Facetite.  Without evaluating you I can not provide a yes or no answer. Please seek a second or third option to have your questions addressed.
