What Is FaceTite?
FaceTite, also known as Radio-Frequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL), is a cutting-edge facial contouring procedure that tightens skin while reducing unwanted fat. It delivers similar results to a facelift but without incisions, general anesthesia, or an extended recovery period.
Benefits
Benefits of FaceTite
- Tightens Loose Skin: Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin.
- Contours the Face & Neck: Reduces fat deposits for a sculpted jawline and defined features.
- Minimally Invasive: Achieves dramatic results with only tiny incisions.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, results can last for years.
Candidates
Who Is a Good Candidate for FaceTite?
FaceTite is ideal for individuals who:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity on the lower face, jawline, and neck.

Techniques
How Does the FaceTite Procedure Work?
- Local Anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort.
- Small Incisions are made, allowing the FaceTite applicator to access the treatment area.
- Radio-Frequency Energy is delivered internally to melt fat and externally to tighten skin.
- Collagen Production is stimulated, resulting in firmer skin over time.
- Minimal Downtime allows for a quick recovery compared to a traditional facelift.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for a few days.
- Skin may feel numb initially, but sensation returns gradually.
- Light activities can be resumed within a day or two.
- Strenuous exercise should be avoided for about two weeks.
Results
- Immediate Improvement: Some results are visible right away.
- Gradual Enhancements: The skin continues to tighten over the next 12 weeks.
- Long-Lasting Effects: With a stable weight and proper skincare, results last for years.
Risks and Considerations
While FaceTite is a safe procedure, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness.
- Minor discomfort at the treatment site.
- Rare risks such as uneven results or minor scarring.
A consultation with our board-certified surgeons ensures you’re a good candidate and understand the potential risks.

Real Patient Testimonials/Reviews
I’m so happy Dr Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery.
It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
I enjoyed my whole experience
I received a rhinoplasty from Dr. Macias and my nose is PERFECT. 😍
I enjoyed my whole experience but here are a few specific highlights that stuck out:
- The staff is kind, informative, and responds quickly.
- I loved the simulation they used to show desired results.
- The staff the day of surgery was fun and helped me with my nerves.
- From the little shopping I did, their prices were the best (sometimes by far!).
She truly nailed it
Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very nervous about having breast surgery but after it was done I was so happy with the results. She truly nailed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Macias to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery.
I would recommend their office to everyone!

Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with for questions/concerns prior to and after surgery during recovery period. Dr. Downs consults with patient prior to surgery to confirm understanding of what results are important to them.
Additionally, Dr. Downs personally follows up after surgery to ensure that things are going well after discharge which I was extremely impressed by. The office/surgical center provides a more discrete and personalized patient environment with a separate door entrance for the follow-up appointment the day after surgery as well.
Very good bedside manner and great doctor
I was recently hospitalized last week for a finger infection. I ended up having surgery and Dr. Downs was my doctor. Very good bedside manner and great doctor. He takes his time to explain things to you. I really liked that. And went to his office for my follow up. All the staff were so sweet and professional.
