SUMMARY
Abstract
This clinical study investigates the safety and effectiveness of bipolar radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) using the FaceTite device for cervical contouring in Eastern Asian patients. A total of 66 patients with skin and soft-tissue laxity of the neck underwent treatment under local anesthesia. Results were assessed with the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), patient satisfaction scores, and complication rates. The study highlights the growing demand in Eastern Asia for minimally invasive, natural-looking procedures that refine the cervicomental angle, slim the lower face, and improve jawline definition.
Conclusion
RFAL with FaceTite significantly enhanced neck contouring outcomes, achieving a more defined mandibular line, improved cervicomental angle, and overall face slimming with minimal downtime. Over 93% of patients reported satisfaction, and no severe complications were observed. The study concludes that RFAL is a safe and highly effective minimally invasive option for patients seeking refined facial aesthetics, particularly in Eastern Asian populations.
