I am 23 years old and thinking about having FaceTite, am I too young? I have a round face. (Photos)

Question

I just want a defined jaw line and less fat in my cheeks. How will the facetite make me look when Im 40 years old if I get it done now? Would facetite be the best thing to have? I’m nervous about having something done to my face being so young so I just want some cheek bones and a jaw line.

The short answer is I don't think you are too young. The long answer is that you have a few good options. Facetite is one. It is reasonable. Fillers could also be used to shape your face to camouflage the rounding but would be less long-lasting and may not get you as far as you want. Facetite also is a bit less predictable in terms of the final result. Improvement would be expected, however. Surgical therapy with fat removal, facial contouring, possible implants or fat augmentation used to limited areas could also get you where you want to be. It is hard to recommend what is best without a more detailed evaluation. I recommend you see a board-certified facial specialist (or even a few) to help determine what is best for you personally.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

FaceTite is a new procedure that utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to simultaneously dissolve fat and tighten the skin.The key the use of radiofrequency energy provides controlled and gentle heat that encourages both the breakdown of fat and the production of collagen within the body. Collagen is responsible for skin elasticity and contributes to a youthful appearance. It’s difficult to say without a full evaluation. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
