Laser Surgery for Jowls?

I had laser surgery about 12 years ago on my entire face. I got a staph infection and toxic blood poisoning. I ended up on a respirator for about 3 weeks in the ICU. My lungs kept filling up with fluid. I smoked two and a half packs of cigarettes per day, and I drink beer daily. I am now 47 and starting to get sagging jowls; I'm wondering, what risk would I be in by having laser for jowls only? Is there be a better alternative without surgery?

A: Laser Surgery will Not Help Jowls

My first observation is as follows:  if you are still smoking, don't do anything.  A Facelift (properly performed) should significantly improve the contour of your jaw and neckline.  There is no laser or laser technique that will significantly improve jowls and I would be careful of any advertising which implies this.
