FaceTite — Fort Worth, TX
FaceTite in Fort Worth and Weatherford is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that tightens and contours sagging skin on the face and neck without the need for traditional facelift surgery. FaceTite is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Robert G. Anderson and Dr. Mark A. Daniels and board-eligible plastic surgeons Dr. Dustin Derrick and Dr. Jeremy T. Joseph at Fort Worth Plastic Surgery.
What is FaceTite?
The FaceTite device utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to simultaneously melt fat, tighten skin, and stimulate collagen production from within the tissue. FaceTite is the next best alternative to facelift surgery for patients who want to address mild to moderate jowling, neck laxity, and nasolabial folds (smile lines) with smaller incisions.
Is FaceTite Right For Me?
Ideal candidates for FaceTite are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have adequate skin elasticity that can respond well to radiofrequency tightening. FaceTite may not be suitable for patients with more significant skin sagging, active skin infections, or certain medical conditions that could complicate healing.
The Procedure
FaceTite procedures at Fort Worth Plastic Surgery are usually performed using local anesthesia with sedation. The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours. Your provider will make small incisions, usually less than one centimeter in length, in discreet locations around the treatment areas.
Next, a thin cannula with an internal electrode is inserted beneath the skin while an external electrode glides over the skin’s surface. The radiofrequency energy is delivered between these two electrodes, heating the deeper tissue layers. This controlled heating causes immediate tissue contraction and triggers long-term collagen remodeling. Once the treatment is complete, any excess fat is removed through gentle suction, and the tiny incisions are closed with sutures.
What Happens After FaceTite Therapy?
Following your FaceTite procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. Recovery time is approximately one week. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least two to three weeks.
During your recovery, keep your head elevated when resting, apply cold compresses as directed, and follow all post-treatment instructions carefully. You’ll be scheduled for a follow-up appointment 7-10 days after your procedure to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have.

Body Contouring FAQs
Will FaceTite interfere with getting a facelift later?
No, FaceTite does not preclude you from having a traditional facelift in the future if more extensive correction becomes necessary. Many patients appreciate FaceTite as a way to delay the need for facelift surgery by several years.
Does skin type affect FaceTite results?
FaceTite works well on all skin types and tones because the radiofrequency energy targets the deeper tissue layers beneath the skin's surface. Unlike some laser treatments, there is minimal risk of pigmentation changes regardless of your skin color.
