Non surgical approach could be fillers to Pre jowl sulcus and Botox to Depressor anguli Oris Muscle

Amir Moradi, MD answers: Effective and long-lasting procedure for lifting jowls?

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.

Surgical approach would include  a face and neck lift with release of the depressor anguli oris muscle and mandibular ligament.  there is a need for sculpting the fatty tissue at the jowl area and adding fat to the depressions on the sides of the chin to make a smooth line at the jaw line.
