Jowl and double chin removal with FaceTite
Define your jawline. Refine your profile.
FaceTite reduces stubborn fat beneath your chin and tightens loose tissue to reveal the shape it’s hiding. A sharper jawline. A slimmer lower face. A profile you feel good about.
“Outrageously effective” jowl and neck treatment.
“This woman is an absolute genius.”
Fat under your chin is hiding your face’s shape
You’re used to seeing yourself straight on in the mirror. A photograph from the side can be a surprise. The fullness beneath your chin is more obvious. Your jawline disappears into your neck. You don’t look the way you thought you did.
Perhaps you’ve always had that little pouch. You exercise and lose weight, but it stays. Perhaps your lower face has become heavier and you’re noticing jowls.
You want to see the shape of your face again. FaceTite tackles the fat and loose tissue that blur that outline, bringing definition back to your lower face and neck.
“I want to have a jawline. I feel like I don’t have a jawline.” MJ hears this from patients all the time. You don’t need to arrive knowing which treatment you need. Tell her what bothers you. Choosing the right way to change it is her job.
Your FaceTite procedure
Allow approximately three hours at the practice. That includes planning, preparation, local anaesthetic and the procedure itself.
You remain awake. MJ uses tumescent local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area before working beneath the skin. The device monitors temperature and includes safety controls to help her deliver the energy precisely.
There is no rush to get you out of the chair. MJ works through the planned areas methodically, with her assistant there to support you. Before you leave, you’ll know how to wear your compression garment, what to expect during recovery and how to contact the team.
FaceTite before and after
The change to look for is the outline: less fullness beneath the chin, a clearer jawline and a more defined transition into the neck.
One of MJ’s favourite cases was a patient preparing for her wedding. She wanted a better-defined jawline. MJ treated her with FaceTite, followed by Sculptra as part of her wider treatment plan. She describes it as “just the most wonderful case”.

How FaceTite reduces a double chin and tightens loose skin
FaceTite works beneath the skin. A fine probe delivers controlled radiofrequency heat to the fatty tissue and the network that supports it. That heat reduces fat and contracts the surrounding tissue. The body clears damaged fat cells as the area heals and remodels.
This treats two parts of the problem together: the fullness hiding your jawline and the looseness softening its outline.
The result develops over the following months. As swelling settles and the tissue tightens, the contour of your lower face and neck becomes clearer.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthetic. It involves small entry points beneath the skin, rather than the larger incisions and tissue repositioning of a facelift.
Jowl treatment without a full facelift
Early jowls and a small pouch under the chin can change the whole outline of your face. FaceTite treats localised fat and mild to moderate tissue laxity to improve that definition without a full facelift.
MJ is clear about what it does: “It tightens. It does not reposition like surgery does.”
That distinction belongs in the treatment plan. It does not mean you need to decide between FaceTite, a neck lift and everything else before making an appointment. MJ will recommend the treatment that delivers the change you’re looking for. When that means surgery, she’ll tell you and refer you.
What FaceTite can and cannot do
FaceTite treats:
- A stubborn pocket of fat beneath the chin.
- Fullness that blurs the jawline.
- Mild jowls and loose tissue around the lower face.
- A soft transition between the chin and upper neck.
FaceTite does not:
- Replace weight loss or remove large volumes of fat.
- Remove substantial excess skin.
- Reposition facial tissues like a facelift.
- Change the underlying bone structure of your chin or jaw.
You don’t need to work out which category you belong in. MJ will examine your face and explain the best route to the result you want.
“She is precise and offers advice even when this is to opt for a treatment she does not offer to get the best outcome.”

Meet Dr MJ
The right treatment for your face
MJ looks at the face in front of her, not just the name of the treatment you’ve booked to discuss. You’ll receive a clear recommendation and the reasons behind it.
MJ’s clinical judgement
MJ looks at the face in front of her, not just the name of the treatment you’ve booked to discuss. She assesses where the fullness comes from, how the skin sits and what will improve the outline.
A persistent under-chin pouch with some tissue laxity is a strong reason to use FaceTite. A face that needs structural support, a different skin treatment or surgical lifting calls for another approach.
She also thinks about how your face will change over time. Natural facial fat gives a young face its shape. Removing it indiscriminately can leave someone wanting volume put back later. MJ distinguishes that useful volume from the stubborn pocket beneath the chin that patients want gone.
Her recommendation might be FaceTite, another treatment, a surgical referral or leaving something alone. You’ll get a clear recommendation and the reasons behind it.
Teaching and qualifications
MJ founded Smileworks HUB to teach medical professionals facial aesthetics, ultrasound and complication management. Her teaching and speaking work includes Clarius, GE HealthCare and Galderma.
Her experience also includes trainer and vigilance-team work with Sinclair Pharmaceuticals and facial ultrasound teaching through CMAC.
She holds a master’s degree in Aesthetic Medicine with Distinction from Queen Mary University of London and a postgraduate qualification in Medical Education. GDC registration: 178642.
In the media
BBC Radio 4 has featured MJ’s complications clinic in its investigation into unsafe cosmetic practice. GLAMOUR has sought her advice on skin health, and Aesthetic Medicine has featured her teaching on ultrasound and injectable treatments.
That same clarity belongs in your consultation. You should understand the recommendation, its limitations and the alternatives before deciding.
Dr MJ’s approach
MJ takes your result personally. She knows you’re investing money, recovery time and trust in someone working on your face.
“I appreciate that this is an investment for a lot of people.”
She plans carefully and gives the procedure the time it needs. “I work patiently, deliberately and slowly.” Her medical assistant is with her throughout, helping look after you while she concentrates on your treatment.
She wants a defined, balanced result that makes sense for your face. That means knowing where to treat, where to stop and which tissue to preserve.
“I’m going to do everything in my power for you to get a great result.”
Patient reviews of Dr MJ and Smileworks
FaceTite recovery: plan for a week off
MJ recommends allowing about a week away from work. This gives you time for the early swelling to settle and to wear your compression garment properly.
Days 1–7
Wear your garment full-time for seven days, following MJ’s instructions. Swelling often peaks around day two. The most obvious swelling usually lasts four to seven days. Keep this week clear of important photographs and big social events.
Weeks 2–3
Wear the garment at night for another two weeks. Many patients return to work after the first week. Some residual swelling takes longer to settle.
Your follow-up appointments
MJ reviews your recovery at around two weeks and your progress at twelve weeks. The team stays in contact between appointments. If something concerns you, contact us rather than waiting for your next review.
When will I see my jawline change?
Expect the first visible improvement at around six to eight weeks. MJ takes progress photographs at twelve weeks. Tightening and contour changes continue over approximately four to six months.
The early swelling hides the result. Give the tissue time to heal and remodel before judging the change.
“This woman is an absolute genius.”
“Dr MJ was absolutely amazing”
“Dr. MJ is the one.”
“an expert in her field.”
“This lady is a godsend”

FaceTite cost in Liverpool
The cost of FaceTite at Smileworks includes your treatment and review appointments.
£3,200, including treatment and review appointments.
You’ll receive a clear treatment plan and know what is included before going ahead.
MJ no longer routinely adds Morpheus8 at the same appointment. “I’ve just found it doesn’t really add anything at the time.” Every additional treatment needs a reason. It should contribute to your result, not just increase your bill.
FaceTite myths
“It’s a facelift without surgery.”
FaceTite reduces fat and tightens tissue. A facelift repositions tissue and removes excess skin. FaceTite is minimally invasive, with local anaesthetic and a recovery period. MJ chooses between treatments according to the change your face needs.
“The less fat in my face, the better.”
Your face needs volume as well as definition. The aim is to reduce the fat obscuring your jawline while preserving the volume that gives your face its shape.
“Adding more treatments always gives a better result.”
MJ does not add treatments by default. She no longer combines Morpheus8 with FaceTite at the same appointment because she has not found enough additional benefit at that stage. A separate treatment belongs in the plan when it addresses a separate need.
“I should be able to see the result straight away.”
Early swelling makes the area look fuller. The contour becomes clearer as recovery progresses. The meaningful changes develop over weeks and months.
Your FaceTite questions
Why do I have a double chin even though I’m slim?
MJ sees this regularly. A localised pocket of fat beneath the chin can remain even when you’re lean and active. Losing weight elsewhere does not always change it. That persistent pouch is one of the concerns she treats with FaceTite.
The shape of your chin and the way your skin sits also affect your profile. MJ checks these as part of planning the result.
Does FaceTite actually remove fat or just tighten skin?
It does both fat reduction and tissue tightening. Radiofrequency heat damages fat cells and contracts the supporting tissue beneath the skin. The body clears damaged cells during recovery.
That is why MJ uses it for a pouch under the chin with associated looseness, rather than treating it simply as a surface skin-tightening procedure.
Is FaceTite the same as chin liposuction?
No. Chin liposuction removes fat using suction. FaceTite uses radiofrequency heat to reduce fat and tighten tissue. Some clinics combine the two procedures. Your treatment plan should state exactly what is being done.
Will FaceTite get rid of my jowls?
FaceTite improves mild jowls where localised fat and loose tissue are softening the jawline. More advanced sagging requires tissue repositioning, which is the job of a facelift.
MJ will tell you which applies to your face. You don’t need to make that judgement from photographs or internet advice.
Am I too young or too old for FaceTite?
MJ treats the anatomy, not a birthday. She often sees suitable patients in their twenties, thirties and forties.
In younger patients, she is particularly careful to preserve natural facial volume. Treating a specific pouch beneath the chin is different from trying to remove the fullness of an entire young face. In older patients, she looks closely at the degree of laxity and whether surgical lifting would deliver a better result.
Does FaceTite hurt?
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic. You remain awake, with MJ and her medical assistant looking after you throughout. Tell them if you feel discomfort so they can respond.
Allow around three hours in the practice. MJ takes the time to prepare and treat the area thoroughly.
How long do FaceTite results last?
MJ generally discusses a five-to-seven-year timeframe. Your face continues to age, so that is an expectation rather than a fixed expiry date or guarantee.
The aim is a lasting improvement in your contour, not a temporary change that needs topping up every few months.
Will I need more than one treatment?
MJ plans FaceTite as a single procedure, then reviews how the result develops. She says she has not needed to repeat it in her own patients to date. That is her experience, rather than a promise that nobody will ever need further treatment.
A different treatment can address another concern. The wedding case above combined FaceTite with later Sculptra treatment for that reason.
Do I need Morpheus8 too?
MJ does not routinely recommend it alongside FaceTite at the same appointment. Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency microneedling at a different depth. FaceTite works more deeply beneath the skin.
She recommends an additional treatment when it has a specific job to do. More procedures are not the goal. A better result is.
Can FaceTite leave me hollow or uneven?
Removing too much fat or treating the wrong face can create unwanted contour changes. MJ plans where to reduce fullness and where to preserve volume. She does not treat a thin face as though it has the same needs as a persistent under-chin pouch.
Swelling, altered sensation and small nodules around entry points can occur during recovery. Burns and contour irregularities are risks of treatment. MJ explains these before you decide and reviews your recovery afterwards. Contact the team about unexpected or persistent symptoms.
Can I have a facelift after FaceTite?
Having FaceTite does not automatically rule out a future facelift. Tell your surgeon about any previous treatment.
If you’re already planning surgery within the next two or three years, MJ would usually advise against spending money on FaceTite as an interim step. She’ll help you plan for the result you actually want.
When should I have FaceTite before a wedding or important event?
Think in months, not days. The early recovery takes around a week, but the result develops over four to six months. Tell MJ your event date before arranging treatment so there is time for recovery and the contour to develop.
