Postoperative Instructions for SkinTite Procedures (FaceTite, NeckTite, AccuTite)

General Overview

SkinTite procedures like FaceTite, NeckTite, and AccuTite use radiofrequency-assisted technology to tighten skin and contour areas with minimal invasiveness. Following these instructions ensures a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Activity Guidelines

    1.    Facial Movements:

    •    Minimize excessive facial movements for the first 48 hours, including chewing, talking, or laughing excessively.

    2.    Sleeping Position:

    •    Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows or in a recliner for the first 48–72 hours to reduce swelling.

    •    Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach to prevent pressure on treated areas.

    3.    Avoid Straining:

    •    Avoid activities that increase blood pressure, such as heavy lifting, bending over, or intense exercise, for one week.

Diet and Hydration

    1.    Hydration:

    •    Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support healing.

    2.    Diet:

    •    Stick to soft foods that don’t require excessive chewing for the first 48 hours.

Medications

    1.    Antibiotics:

    •    Keflex 500 mg: Take every 6 hours for one week (if no allergies).

    •    Clindamycin 300 mg: Take every 8 hours for 7–14 days if allergic to penicillin.

    2.    Pain Relief:

    •    Use over-the-counter Tylenol (do not exceed 2000 mg of Tylenol in 24 hours).

Dressing, Incision, and Skin Care

    1.    Antibiotic Ointment:

    •    Apply antibiotic ointment to the small insertion sites twice daily for five days or until completely healed.

    2.    Compression Garments:

    •    Wear your compression garment or chin strap continuously for the first 48 hours unless directed otherwise.

    •    Afterward, wear the compression garment as advised by Dr. Farzaneh, typically for 12–16 hours daily for 1–2 weeks.

    3.    Skin Products:

    •    Avoid applying makeup, harsh skincare products, or treatments (e.g., retinoids, acids) for at least one week.

Swelling and Bruising

    1.    Normal Side Effects:

    •    Swelling, bruising, and mild tenderness are normal and may persist for up to two weeks.

    2.    Cold Compress:

    •    Use cold compresses for 15 minutes at a time during the first 24 hours to minimize swelling.

Activity Restrictions

    1.    Exercise:

    •    Avoid strenuous exercise or activities for 1–2 weeks. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.

    2.    Smoking:

    •    Refrain from smoking for at least two weeks before and after the procedure to ensure optimal healing.
