The Benefits of AccuTite® and FaceTite® for Facial Contouring

Both men and women aspire to a chiseled and well-defined jawline, yet life can get in the way of that goal. Perhaps you were born with a propensity to carry a little more fat around your chin and jaw that’s blurring the lines between your face and neck.

Or, maybe age is taking its toll, and you’ve formed jowls, or your chin is no longer a solo act as a double chin forms.

Whatever your issues, we want you to know that Dr. Jonathan Zelken and our team excel in this area. While we offer a wide range of cosmetic services designed to meet most cosmetic goals, we really love helping clients with their faces, especially the lower half.

Here’s a look at how we improve profiles through facial contouring and surgery and the significant roles that Accutite® and Facetite® can play.

The many options for facial contouring

No two of our clients are the same, and each benefits from a personalized treatment plan. When it comes to facial surgeries, we offer several options and technologies that we can mix and match for the best results.

From a comprehensive facelift to combat the signs of aging to more targeted procedures that address a single area, such as your jawline, we’ve got you covered.

Here, we want to discuss reshaping and contouring areas on the lower half of your face, especially around your jawline. And several procedures can deliver great results in these areas, including:

Buccal fat removal

Your face contains deposits of fat called buccal fat pads, which are found in your cheeks and around your jawline. Some people are born with overly large buccal fat pads, or these deposits can shift and change shape over time.

One way in which Dr. Zelken can improve your facial profile is through buccal fat pad removal.

Liposuction

Liposuction is another weapon in the face contouring arsenal, ranked the number one surgical cosmetic procedure in the United States in 2023. With liposuction, we remove fat from certain areas to reshape your face.

Facetite and Accutite

Let’s look at how technology can bring liposuction and facial contouring to the next level. Our Facetite and Accutite systems are radiofrequency skin-tightening technologies that assist with liposuction. The technologies are the same, but the different names refer to the equipment — we use FaceTite for larger areas and Accutite for more precision.

With both, we insert a probe beneath the surface of your skin that emits radiofrequency energy. This energy loosens up fat, making it much easier for us to suction out. Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) not only leaves less bruising and swelling than traditional liposuction, but we can also perform this procedure using only local anesthesia.

Even better, this energy contracts collagen fibers in your skin for almost immediate skin tightening. And this initial skin tightening is just the tip of the iceberg. Over the months following your facial contouring procedure, your collagen continues to respond to the RFAL and rebuilds support from below that continues to lift and tighten your skin.
