From structured lymphatic support to inflammation control and personalized followup care, we actively manage every stage of your healing process. This is why our patients consistently report smoother recoveries and results that exceed expectations.

You’re not just choosing a procedure. You’re choosing a surgeon who sees the bigger picture, a team that stays with you every step of the way, and a practice built on trust, depth, and real outcomes.

What Is FaceTite With Lipo?

FaceTite with lipo combines two powerful technologies to address stubborn submental fat and loose skin in a single treatment. This procedure is ideal for anyone who wants a sharper, more defined jawline without the downtime, scarring, or risks associated with traditional facelift surgery.

Here’s how it works. First, tumescent liposuction is used to remove excess fat from the neck, jawline, and lower face. This creates immediate contour improvement by eliminating the layer of fat that obscures your natural bone structure. But liposuction alone doesn’t address skin laxity. That’s where FaceTite comes in.

FaceTite uses radiofrequency assisted lipolysis, or RFAL technology, to tighten skin from the inside out. A small probe is inserted beneath the skin, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy that heats collagen fibers and stimulates long term skin tightening. The result is a lifted, sculpted appearance without any visible incisions or external scars.

The entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia in our state of the art Tampa facility. Most patients are awake and comfortable throughout the treatment. There’s no need for general anesthesia, which reduces risk and speeds up recovery. The procedure typically takes one to two hours depending on the treatment area.

Unlike surgical facelifts that require weeks of downtime, most patients return to work and light activities within three to five days. The results continue to improve over the following months as collagen production increases and skin naturally contracts around your newly defined contours.

This combination of precision fat removal and advanced skin tightening makes FaceTite with lipo in Tampa, FL one of the most effective options for facial rejuvenation available today.

Transform Your Profile Today

You’ve spent years working on your fitness, your health, and your appearance. Don’t let stubborn neck fat hold you back from looking as confident as you feel. Formation offers the most advanced facial contouring techniques in Tampa, delivered by a surgeon who prioritizes your safety, your results, and your long term satisfaction.

Benefits & Recovery Timeline

One of the biggest advantages of combining FaceTite with lipo is that you get comprehensive results in a single treatment session. You eliminate fat, tighten skin, and enhance definition all at once. This approach delivers dramatic improvement without the need for multiple procedures or prolonged recovery periods.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced jawline definition that looks natural and refined. No one will know you had a procedure. They’ll just notice you look sharper, more rested, and more confident. This approach means no large incisions, no visible scars, and significantly less trauma to surrounding tissue compared to traditional surgery. You’ll experience less bruising, less swelling, and faster healing overall.

Skin tightening that lasts. The radiofrequency energy stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which means results continue to improve for months after your procedure. Most patients see their final results around six to nine months after treatment, with effects lasting five to seven years or longer with proper maintenance.

Performed under local anesthesia, so you avoid the risks and costs associated with general anesthesia. You remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure, and you can go home the same day. This makes the treatment an ideal option for busy professionals who need effective results without extended downtime.

What to Expect During Recovery:

The first 24 to 48 hours involve mild swelling and tightness in the treated area. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a sunburn. You’ll wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling. This garment is typically worn for one to two weeks, depending on your individual healing process.

By day three to five, most patients feel comfortable returning to work and normal daily activities. You can resume light exercise within one week. More intense workouts, including heavy lifting and high impact cardio, can usually be resumed after two to three weeks.

Visible improvements in contour appear almost immediately as swelling subsides. However, the full skin tightening effect develops gradually over the following three to six months as collagen remodeling takes place. Your jawline will continue to look sharper and more defined as your skin contracts naturally around the newly sculpted contours.

At Formation, we don’t just perform the procedure and send you home. We provide structured followup care, including lymphatic treatments and recovery guidance, to ensure you heal optimally and achieve the best possible outcome.

Benefits & Recovery Timeline

Common Situations You Might Be Facing

  • You’ve been working out consistently and eating well, but no amount of diet or exercise eliminates the fat under your chin
  • You feel self conscious in photos because your jawline looks undefined or your neck appears heavier than the rest of your body
  • You’re tired of people commenting that you look tired or older than you actually are, even when you feel energetic and healthy
  • You’ve considered a surgical facelift but the long recovery time, visible scars, and high cost make it impractical for your lifestyle
  • You notice sagging skin along your jawline or jowls that make you look less sharp and less confident than you used to
  • You avoid certain camera angles or lighting because they emphasize your double chin or lack of neck definition
  • You’ve tried other treatments like Kybella or CoolSculpting with disappointing results that didn’t deliver the dramatic improvement you wanted
  • You want a chiseled, athletic look that complements your active lifestyle without looking overdone or artificial
  • You’re ready to invest in yourself but need a solution that fits into your busy schedule without weeks of downtime
  • You’re looking for a surgeon who understands facial aesthetics and delivers natural results that enhance rather than change your appearance

What Our Patients Say

Patients who choose Formation for facial contouring consistently report high satisfaction not just with their results, but with the entire experience. Many describe feeling heard, understood, and supported from the first consultation through final followup.

One recent patient, a professional in their early forties, came to us frustrated after years of trying to reduce submental fat through diet and exercise. Despite being in excellent physical shape, they struggled with a double chin that made them look heavier and older than they felt. After their procedure, they reported feeling more confident in meetings, more comfortable in photos, and relieved that the results looked completely natural. Their colleagues noticed they looked refreshed and energized, but no one suspected they’d had any work done.

Another patient, a business owner who travels frequently, appreciated the minimal downtime. They scheduled the procedure on a Thursday, rested over the weekend, and was back to work on Monday wearing the compression garment discreetly. Within weeks, they noticed a dramatic improvement in their profile. Six months later, the skin tightening results had fully developed, and they described their jawline as the sharpest it had been in over a decade.

These stories reflect what we see consistently at Formation. Patients come to us looking for real solutions delivered by a surgeon they can trust. They leave with results that not only meet but exceed their expectations, and they appreciate the depth of care and attention they receive throughout the process.
