I’ve started noticing the skin around my jawline looking saggy and wondering whether this is jowls (see photo). I’ve had buccal fat removal 12 years ago so concerned this may have contributed. I’m only 35. Would FaceTite be a good option or are there less invasive procedures which could improve the appearance of my jawline? Many thanks

Answer: FaceTite Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for posting your question and photo. FaceTite would be a good option for this degree of skin and soft tissue laxity. This is a minimally invasive procedure that does not result in surgical scars, and it is typically performed under local anesthesia. I often combine it with RF microneedling as well (e.g. Morpheus8). Good luck! Best,Dr. Tower

Answer: Improving the Jawline Contour Thanks for your question. Based on your images it looks like you would be a great candidate for this procedure. FaceTite cannot be performed on anyone with an implanted device such as a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator. There are otherwise very few contraindications. For an extra level of tightening and smoothing it can be combined with Morpheus8 micro-needling externally (Morpheus8 operates off of the same platform as the FaceTite, it is just a different handpiece). This combination is called EmbraceRF. The Morpheus8 can also dissolve unwanted fat cells such as in the double chin region, further enhncing the contouring. Results begin to be apparent at about 3 weeks post procedure and continue to improve for at least 6 months. Results typically last 5 to 7 years (depends on your rate of ageing).
