What are your views on FaceTite as a treatment for loose skin around jawline? I am 50. Also, what is the downtime after the procedure and how long does it last? Thank you for any thoughts you have!

Hiya, TTG editor Georgia here. Neither Alice or I have tried FaceTite but people seem to get good and fairly predictable, reliable results – largely because it involves liposuction, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to get fat reduction in the area. That being said, it’s an invasive, surgical treatment and you’d need to prepare for downtime of at least a week, maybe two, depending on what your bruising is like.

You should also wear a compression garment for around 5 days, and there will be discomfort in the area. The brand says results last up to five years. Have a consultation with an experienced practitioner who offers it and see if they think you’re a good candidate – you need a pretty significant amount of fatty jowling – because it may be that you can opt for a less invasive tweakment.
