FaceTite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to contour the face and neck without traditional surgery. This FDA-approved treatment targets fat deposits under the chin and neck while simultaneously tightening loose skin through radiofrequency energy that stimulates collagen and elastin production.
The procedure works by inserting a small probe under the skin that emits controlled radiofrequency energy to melt fat, which is then gently removed similar to liposuction. The heat generated produces up to 40% skin retraction, creating a natural “shrink-wrap” effect over facial features. FaceTite addresses common aging concerns including jowl sagging, double chin, neck laxity, facial definition loss, and deep wrinkles, delivering results comparable to a traditional facelift but with minimal downtime and no visible scarring.
Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good overall health who seek facial rejuvenation without invasive surgery. The procedure typically takes just a few hours in-office under local anesthesia, with most patients returning to work the next day. Results last five to seven years on average, and unlike temporary treatments requiring monthly maintenance, FaceTite offers long-lasting improvements with a proven safety record backed by clinical studies showing 82-94% patient satisfaction rates.
FaceTite is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that can provide many of the same benefits as a facelift. During this procedure, your doctor will insert a small probe directly under the skin in the target area you wish to treat. This probe will apply radiofrequency to melt the fat directly under the skin so it can be gently sucked out (similar to liposuction in other body areas). In addition to melting the fat, the heat generated raises the entire skin temperature to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The result is up to 40% skin retraction, thereby “shrink-wrapping” your skin over your own natural features. The physician can work on smoothing the top layers of the skin to address additional cosmetic concerns at the same time utilizing other techniques, such as Morpheus8.
These two techniques together provide a similar look and feel to a traditional facelift, but without using a scalpel and causing potential scarring. FaceTite may also offer a more natural look than more invasive procedures.
You may read that nerve damage and infection are potential results of any surgical procedure. These complications are infrequent. However, stories like this are why it is crucial to place your appearance, and your overall health, in the hands of qualified, board-certified surgeons who have a degree of exemplary patient care. Don’t settle for less than the best; the staff at Formation has your best interests at heart. It’s also important to review your personal risk factors with your doctor and any concerns you have before you consent to a cosmetic procedure.
If you’re dissatisfied with your appearance, don’t like the idea of a full facelift (or simply don’t need this level of contouring), and are in overall good health, FaceTite is worth the money. You’ll undergo an FDA-approved procedure with excellent safety rates as well as high patient satisfaction to reveal a more youthful, refreshed version of yourself, and you can experience results for years without having to visit your doctor or dermatologist every month or two.
Our board-certified surgeons, Dr. Gopal Grandhige and Dr. Ahmad Saad, combine years of experience and expertise to help people reveal the best physical versions of themselves possible. They believe that shedding things you don’t need, such as releasing objects, relationships, or weight, can create positive, lasting change in your life.
FaceTite represents a significant advancement in facial rejuvenation technology, offering patients a balanced solution between non-invasive treatments and traditional surgical facelifts. By combining radiofrequency-assisted fat removal with skin tightening in a single procedure, FaceTite delivers meaningful, long-lasting results without the extended recovery periods, general anesthesia risks, or visible scarring associated with conventional surgery.
For individuals experiencing the natural signs of facial aging, loose neck skin, jowl development, double chin, or loss of jawline definition, FaceTite provides a clinically proven pathway to restore facial contours and achieve a more youthful appearance. The procedure’s excellent safety profile, minimal downtime (typically one day), and five to seven-year duration of results make it an attractive option for those seeking substantive facial improvements without committing to full surgical intervention.
Formation’s surgeons, Dr. Gopal Grandhige and Dr. Ahmad Saad, bring extensive experience and precision to FaceTite procedures, ensuring each patient receives individualized care tailored to their unique aesthetic goals. If you’re considering facial contouring but aren’t ready for traditional facelift surgery, a consultation at Formation can help determine whether FaceTite is the right solution for your needs. With proper aftercare and complementary treatments like Morpheus8, patients can maintain their refreshed appearance and continue to look their best for years to come.
The FaceTite procedure typically takes just a few hours in your doctor's office under local anesthesia. Most patients can return to work the following day with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
Patients may experience mild bruising and tenderness for several days to one week following the procedure. Most side effects like swelling, hardness, and redness completely disappear within five to seven days with proper aftercare.
The cost of FaceTite varies depending on the treatment areas and individual patient needs. A consultation with Formation's board-certified surgeons will provide a personalized quote based on your specific aesthetic goals.
Yes, FaceTite can be combined with complementary procedures like Morpheus8 for enhanced skin rejuvenation and texture improvement. Your doctor can create a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns simultaneously.
FaceTite is specifically designed for the face and neck areas, while BodyTite uses the same radiofrequency-assisted liposuction technology for body contouring on areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks. Both procedures offer minimally invasive alternatives to traditional surgery with minimal downtime.
Everyone’s anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique—which is why a personalized assessment is key.

1 Month Post-Op Transformation! 💥
Fixing previous surgical outcomes requires precision, expertise, and a tailored approach.
Here’s how Dr. Grandhige transformed this patient’s core and chest:
The Challenge:
Previous tummy tuck left uneven abdominal fat distribution
High scar placement creating a visible “shelf” effect
The Solution:
HD Liposculpture to refine and sculpt a athletic, masculine core and chest
Scar Revision to eliminate the shelf-like appearance and create a smoother profile
Keep in mind, at just 1 month post-op, swelling is still settling and we are nowhere near final results! Can’t wait to see this shape mature over the next few months. 🔥
💬 Questions about revision procedures? Drop them in the comments or send us a DM!
Trust the process. 🤍
This beautiful tummy tuck transformation is only 1 month post-op!
What makes this journey even more special is where it began. Two years ago, this patient came to us wanting change but wasn’t quite ready for the operating table. Instead of rushing, we partnered with her for the long haul. Through the strategic use of GLP-1 therapy, dedicated nutrition guidance, and mindset coaching, she completely transformed her health to get to where she is today.
While she is already looking incredible, it’s important to remember that residual swelling and inflammation are completely normal at this stage. Healing takes time, but the foundation for an amazing result is officially set!
We are so incredibly honored to be a part of every patient`s unique journey, and we are committed to being with you every single step of the way.
Drop a ❤️ to wish her a continued smooth recovery!
