Can you get good results from FaceTite if you are thin and don't have much fat but just want lift and to build collagen?

Question

I am 43, thinking of FaceTite. I had a thread lift with two threads put in each side but feel the FaceTite will give me a better result. However, the negative reviews I have read suggest that it is not as effective on women who are thin.

Hi Versatile5038; based on your age, you are a perfect candidate for FaceTite; however if you are thin with no facial fat, than FaceTite may not be an optimal treatment for you. However, the Morpheus 8 or Fractora might be the answer. There is also the option of a face lift. We offer all of these options and more and will provide an objective view of which is most suitable for you. We will be soon offering the Accutite, which is specifically designed to tighten skin in the jowls and the mid-facial area in thin patients. We are pleased to discuss this further if you would like a consultation. We are the exclusive practice for these treatments in Seattle using these devices for three years now. Sorry for the late response. Best in 2020!

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

You may want to consider Sculptra if you are only 43 and thin.  This works very well by building volume and supporting the face.

Thank you for your questions. Yes! You can get a good result even if you have a thin face. Facetite works by using radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and shrink wrap the tissues. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with the Facetite machine. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

I use Smartlipo or Facetite,depending on how much fat is in the neck,the patients age, weight and skin laxity. If you are young and thin you should get a noticeable result. Older thin patients do better with skin resection i.e. facelift
