What can I do to reverse damage from FaceTite?

Without being able to see a comparison to how these areas looked before your procedure it is difficult to say with any certainty what has happened in the areas of concern for you.I use FaceTite and EmbraceRF frequently in my facial plastic surgery practice and can at least offer a few insights that may be helpful for you. First, even though you are a few months out from your procedure there is still time for continued improvements. It takes 6+ months for the complete results to develop.  I would expect that you may still see some continued improvement with tightening of the jowls and better definition along the jawline.  That is important to keep in mind because the appearance of marionette lines can seem to be worsened by fullness of the jowls just to the side of the marionette lines.  In fact, it is jowl fullness and laxity / sagging that really creates the appearance of the marionette line in the first place.  As that continues to improve then the marionette lines should also look better.The other key point is that a FaceTite procedure does not include any work done inside of the marionette lines or on the chin.  I am not sure how a groove on the chin would be related to your procedure with that in mind.  That does not seem like it would be directly related to FaceTite.For the marionette lines I think your best option will be to consider the use of filler.  I would suggest a temporary filler such as Restylane Refyne or Restylane Defyne (these work very well in mobile areas around the mouth).  I suggest temporary filler because you should expect some continued improvement from the FaceTite procedure and, therefore, should not commit to anything more permanent such as fat injections to address the volume in the marionette area.  These options can be explored as more long-lasting solutions though.  Based on the photos provided you look like someone who would have a really nice improvement with just a little bit of filler in the right spots.  Best of luck to you.

I had experience with Themi tight that I sent back because I did not see any skin tightening from it. I only saw some fat melting that I could do very easily with a micro cannula. Facetite is a similar mechanism of action using radio frequency energy delivered directly under the skin. I personally don't believe these gadgets produce skin tightening. They can melt fat however and as such they may have a place in the non surgeons armamentarium. If it doesn't get better you may require fat grafting. 

I have to say you looked better before the procedure, but I'm not sure the photos that you posted a true comparison flash, background, depth - all are different and can really exagerate any real differences that are actually there.  If you truly look that much worse, this problem is very unusual and I haven't see it before.  Its probably too early to do anything right now, but consider a consultation for a facelift once you are healed.

Hello. Thank you for your question. I am sorry you are not happy with your result. I feel you are still healing, as it can take up to 6 months to see the final results. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear happynolagirlThank you for your question and photos!  I am sorry that you are having concerns with your procedure. It may take some time for this to settle.  I would ask that you return to the consultant. Volume can be added with micro fat graft and or fillers .With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

I notice that many responses address any volume loss with fillers or fat. Although skin tightening is a secondary effect that is emphasized, fat loss in the area is also a result of this device. Others are correct in suggesting volume replacement however it’s too early for this. Wait until it’s 6 months to a year post op.

I’m sorry that you are disappointed with facetite.  I have never used it but if it works as well as the hundred of other devices claiming to do the same thing I’m sure it did next to nothing.I guess you could try to get the money back then put  that money toward an actual facelift,  which does work.  Don’t try any other thing like fillers, as you will likely get burned again.  Just wait til you need a facelift.

I have been using Facetite for almost 3 years and haven't seen this problem. I don't know to what extent you had the treatment.I avoid the chin and don't go more than 1 inch above the jawline.I tell patients that it takes up to 6 months to see the final results.Maybe a small amount of filler will smooth things out in the short term

Thank you for posting your photos with your intetesting question. It appears that you have some volume loss in the central part of your face and this can be restored with volume to create natural and beautiful results. Micro fat transfer and fillers such as Sculptra, Restlane lyft and Radiesse can accomplish this. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with fillers and surgical rejuvenation. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift, M.D., F.A.C.S.

It's challenging to answer your question without the benefit of a pre-treatment exam and/ or photos.  While your photos do not suggest jowling, the lighting quality is different between the pictures and I cannot see pre-treatment photos for comparison.In general, FaceTite is a radiofrequency skin tightening technology which is often combined with microneedling RF and liposuction; I have used it in my facial plastic surgery practice for the last 8 months, and have been pleased with this combination approach to facial and neck contouring.  I find FaceTite to be a helpful addition to facial contouring in patients too young or with too-mild findings of skin and tissue laxity for formal face and neck-lifting.  I do not commonly treat the chin with FaceTite, and do not find this to be a commonly treated area in other practices.  Your concerns regarding marionette lines may be best addressed with filler injections (such as Restylane and Juvederm), collagen stimulators (such as Sculptra and Radiesse), or fat transfer.  You may do well with temporary filler treatment as the results of FaceTite continue to improve beyond the 4-6 month post-operative mark.  Please discuss your concerns with your treating physician to create a detailed and customized treatment plan.  Best of luck!
