What's the best way to get rid of jowls that are beginning to appear from the corners of my mouth down to my chin? It's especially noticeable in my profile view. About a year ago, I had Restalyne treatments in the areas just below the corners of my mouth with only limited success. Is there any longer-lasting, more effective treatment specifically for "lifting" jowls? I'm 51 years old and have really good skin otherwise. I'm including two side by side pix after I was snorkeling in Aruba last spring, so I look really bad, but it pretty clearly shows the jowls issue.
The answer depends on the commitment you want to make. As you have seen, lesser procedures such as fillers. skin resurfacing, mini-lifts, and imlants will minimally improve the appearance. There is nothing wrong with this approach, but the ultimate result would be achieved with a facelift including liposuction and a pre-jowl implant. It would be benificial to loose weight prior to any procedure. I strongly suggest you do this and then re-evaluate your alternatives.
