For women and men who want to correct sagging and laxity in the jawline and neck, Dr. Stuart recommends PrecisionTx
for non-surgical skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. San Diego triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Chaffoo performs this one-time, one-hour treatment, and works closely with Dr. Stuart to ensure an optimal outcome for patients.

If you’d like to take years off your neck and chin without surgery,  request a consultation  with Dr. Chaffoo, or call (800) 373-4773 to schedule your appointment.

Ideal Candidate

PrecisionTx is an excellent option for men and women who are bothered by the appearance of lower facial aging but may not be ready or willing to undergo a Facelift. Minimally invasive PrecisionTx uses carefully directed laser energy to melt fat cells and tighten skin for immediately noticeable results that continue to develop over time. If your skin tone and condition remain relatively youthful but you’re bothered by the appearance of a double chin, Dr. Chaffoo may recommend KYBELLA® injections. KYBELLA is a non-surgical procedure that reduces the fat below the chin.

Treatments

A typical PrecisionTx procedure lasts for about 90 minutes, and requires only local anesthesia. Dr. Chaffoo makes a series of 3 small incisions, usually below the chin, then inserts a very thin laser tube through these incisions. He directs the laser energy to the targeted areas, liquefying excess fat and heating loose or sagging skin from within. The laser energy encourages the tissue to contract and promotes new collagen growth for thicker skin.

Recovery

Recovery after a PrecisionTx laser lift is quick and simple for most patients. Any discomfort is typically managed with acetaminophen. Mild swelling usually fades after the first few days. It is normal to have light bruising in or around treated areas initially, which can be covered with camouflage makeup.Patients will need to wear a compression garment on the face and neck for the first 48 hours,

Patients will need to wear a compression garment on the face and neck for the first 48 hours, and then only at night for about 4 to 6 weeks. The gentle pressure minimizes swelling and encourages firm, smooth contours as treated areas heal.

While experiences vary, most patients are ready to return to their daily activities within 2 to 3 days and work within 4 to 5 days.

Results

Some patients report an immediate difference in the quality of their skin, and results continue to develop over a period of 3 to 6 months, although results depend on individual factors. While the final outcome can be long-lasting, many patients choose to maintain their results with treatments such as injectables and fillers.
