Fillers to the pre-jowl area

Stephen Prendiville, MD answers: Options for correcting loose jowls?

Have had a neck lift 3 years ago - and am now seeing the ever slight looseness on my jowl line.  Would like to avoid a face lift, but am wary about the thread lifts - anything else out there??

If the laxity you are noticing is very slight, you might want to consider a filler known as Radiesse to the pre-jowl area. The pre-jowl can be defined as the relative depression that occurs between the chin and the actual jowl.  The is caused by the dense ligamentous attachments between the skin and the jawline in this area.

I like Radiesse because an immediate result is obtained and it lasts 9-18 months in terms of cosmetic benefit.  This technique should be aesthetically beneficial for a period of time, depending on how fast you age, and how extensive your previous procedure was.
