Does FaceTite on its own remove sufficient fat or is Vaser liposuction a better choice? (Photo)

When considering treatment options for addressing a double chin and submental fat, it's important to weigh the benefits and limitations of each procedure, especially in relation to your concerns about fat removal and skin laxity.

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to target both fat and skin laxity. It is designed to tighten the skin and contour the neck and jawline by stimulating collagen production. While FaceTite can provide some degree of fat reduction, its primary strength lies in its ability to improve skin tightness. If your main concern is skin laxity, FaceTite might be a suitable option, but it may not remove a significant amount of fat on its own.

Vaser Liposuction, on the other hand, is more focused on fat removal. It uses ultrasound technology to break down and remove fat cells more efficiently than traditional liposuction. However, Vaser does not directly address skin laxity, which might leave you with loose skin if significant fat is removed and the skin does not retract sufficiently.

Given your concerns about both fat reduction and skin laxity, a combination approach might be worth considering. Some patients benefit from combining Vaser liposuction with a skin tightening procedure like FaceTite to achieve optimal results in both areas.

It's also important to consider timing in relation to weight loss. As advised, undergoing treatment before significant weight changes can help prevent additional skin sagging. However, this should be discussed with your provider to tailor the approach to your specific needs.

I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can evaluate your photos and provide a personalized recommendation based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. They can help determine the most effective treatment plan to achieve the results you desire.

FaceTite can help to tighten skin and reduce fat by using RF technology both underneath and on the skin's surface. Liposuction can be combined with FaceTite if needed to help you achieve the look you are wanting. This is a minimally invasive procedure with no general anesthesia needed. I encourage you to meet with a provider near you for an evaluation to learn more.

FaceTite is Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) device that helps eliminate the problem to the neck and chin
This device uses radiofrequency energy to tighten, smooth and lift problem areas on the face and neck.
This is often done in addition to liposuction. The Vaser Liposuction removes the the fat and the FaceTite is used to tighten the skin.
Facetite and Liposuction are often used together to give the best results of both the chin and neck.
