In the modern-day of cosmetic plastic surgery, it’s remarkable how many minimally-invasive options are out there for patients to choose from. With recent advances in radio-frequency techniques, a complete facelift is no longer necessary to achieve incredible results. The FaceTite procedure has become an industry standard, and we’re here to tell you why!

Join Dr. Steven Davis on Daily Mail TV as he covers Paula Abdul’s recent endorsement of FaceTite and why this procedure is so innovative. As the perfect balance between being minimally invasive and maximally effective, FaceTite is an excellent choice for anyone.

Get in touch with us today to learn more about the advancements behind FaceTite! Or, set up a virtual consultation with Dr. Davis, and let’s get started.

• Keeping your chin up, literally. Paula Abdul’s doing it. She’s got a tighter, sleeker jawline and a more chiseled chin. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Davis says the procedure Abdul had done is quite popular and both agree, it’s a great alternative to a full-blown facelift.
• The hottest thing right now is a jawline.
• It’s minimally invasive.
• Okay, okay.
• No visible scars. Downtime, I was out, walking around two or three days.
• people are really searching for something that is going to make a jawline or the face look sharper and sleeker without going through too much of a surgical procedure.
• [Jesse] Paula used a procedure created by a company called InMode.
• So it’s radio frequency laser technique.
• We’re using radio frequency energy, which we know shrinks and tightens skin amazingly well. So that you’re melting some fat that may be along the jawline and the jaw area, as well as the neck area. And as you’re melting that fat, you’re also causing the tissue surrounding the fat, like the skin that sits above it to get tighter. And we’re able to do it by making a small little opening in the skin. Where Paula had it done, will be right underneath her chin and behind both little earlobe areas. And the incision literally is about the width of my little fingernail. And through that little opening, this tip would go under the skin and this thermistor sits on top of the skin. And then when we squeeze this together, we’re actually causing that connection to happen. The machine is constantly reading the temperature to make sure that it doesn’t overheat, either on the skin or under the skin. While you’re doing it, you literally can see what we call thermal retraction. So, not only are you noticing that the fat is being emulsified because you can literally hear it sizzling. You can also see the contour starting to change, but when you hit the right temperature that you’re going through, you can literally see the skin start to retract. After you do all that, if there was a good enough amount of fat to be removed, you can then go into those same little openings and very elegantly, just suck it out.
• Dr. Davis says, depending on how much liposuction is necessary, the procedure usually takes from 45 minutes to an hour. A local anesthetic like Novocaine is used to numb the area or, If you’re a wimp like me they can give you an Ativan.
• You can give them like an oral Valium or something as a little bit of a sedative if you wanted to. But most patients love the idea that you don’t have to be under general anesthesia to have this.
• [Jesse] That’s something that makes this option more popular because there’s less risk associated with the procedure. Dr. Davis cautions that although you are up and walking around within days, it takes a good six weeks to three months for complete recovery. He calls this radio frequency laser treatment the perfect in-between. Because it’s a permanent procedure that’s in-between simply getting fillers or going for a full blown facelift.
• You’re gonna continue to age, obviously, but this is a permanent change to that area.
• Look.
• Paula Abdul is the brand ambassador for InMode, the company which developed the procedure she used. Dr. Davis says what Paula had done can cost between 35 and $6,500, and that’s compared to a full-blown facelift that can run anywhere from 15 to 25,000 bucks.

• Well, one of the latest trends in beauty, is skin care. Many women and men are buying creams, even serums, to get the best skin possible. But, did you know that what you eat also can have a positive impact on your skin. So, one plastic surgeon says that changing your diet can keep you looking young and fresh. He joins us now live. Dr. Steven Davis is a local board certified plastic surgeon. Good morning, and thanks for joining us today.
• Good morning, good morning Demetria. Hi.
• So, we often hear the phrase “You are what you eat”, so tell us how our diet can actually have an affect on our skin, both good and bad.
• Well, you know, as a plastic surgeon, you know, I’ve been operating for a very long time now, and when I sit down with my patients, you know, over the years, I’ve really said, you know, what could you do to try to help the overall results that I’m trying to get for you. Because, as plastic surgeons we’re trying to get the most incredible results for the patients all the time. So, what we decided to do was to really sit down and, instead of just giving out vitamins and supplements, and things like that, what if we could tell you about certain foods that you could just add to your diet. And certain foods that you could take away from your diet, to try to not only enhance the results that I’m gonna give you, but what about protecting the investment for what you just spent on this incredible, you know, cosmetic plastic surgery. So, that’s where we started to come up with the foods that, you know, again, it’s not that difficult to really add a few of these to the meals, and to also subtract some of these that are not so great for you. And, again, with everything that everyone’s going through with COVID-19, it’s also a great thing to think about trying to stay as healthy for your immune system, as possible. And, when we go over some of these foods, they do have an incredible result in just maintaining your immune system to be able to fight off any viruses and other types of things that may be coming down the pike.
• I love that. They have so many different benefits, and it’s such an easy thing to do. So, I do want to get to these foods because, you call them the Wrinkle Wreckers, and they’re right here. The foods to stay away from. You say, butter, whole milk, margarine, red meat or processed meat, potatoes, sugar and soft drinks. So, why is it so important for us to stay away from those?
• If you are gonna clump all these things together and say “Why are these things bad?”, here’s the real issue. The issue is that a lot of these sugary type foods, a lot of these, um, buttery or processed meats, are breaking down our system in not being able to let us do our normal repair of our skin cells. Because, every day, as we’re getting older, our cells are turning over. And, if we can get these cells to turn over, in a health manner, you’re gonna look more healthy and younger. The word free radicals is probably something that a lot of people have heard. It’s not a good thing. Because, free radicals are something that kind of scramble around in your system and start tearing apart actually healthy organs and, let’s not forget that one of the biggest organs in the body, if not the biggest, is the skin. So, when we’re talking about wrinkles and things like that, we wanna make sure that we’re fortifying that organ as best as possible. And, one of the best things that we could do, is to try to eliminate things like a sugary substance, that really is going to impact the cell itself and break down the cell wall in such a way that you don’t really look, um, as moisturized, you’re not gonna make your skin look as healthy as it could be. And let’s be honest, when we’re doing facelifts, when we’re doing tummy tucks, when we’re doing things where we’re actually purposely trying to get that skin to be tighter and more youthful, we wanna feed this as best as we can so that it looks so juicy and healthy. So, those are really the concepts there.
• I love that, but Dr. Davis, those are all of my favorite foods that were listed in there, so that hurt my heart a little bit.
• You don’t have to completely eliminate them. The concept, and that’s the reason why I think it makes so much sense, because if you had that list of what’s good, and we can go over those too, and what’s bad, you just have to try to get more to the good side than to the bad side.
• [Demetria] Of course.
• And I think you can really start to notice how much healthier you not only feel, but you actually are doing something to help the way you’re gonna look.
• Exactly. Well, Dr. Davis, we are short on time. Where can people go for more information to find out about those good foods that can help your skin?
• It’s Davis CPS, DavisCosmeticPlasticSurgery.com. And it was really great talking to you, especially on inauguration day.
• It was great talking to you too today. Well, you have a good one, okay?
• Buh-bye.
