Options for correcting loose jowls

Scott W. Mosser, 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 sagging you notice is slight, injectable fillers in the area between the jowls and chin could help to alleviate this, but true jowls are highly resistant to fillers. Long lasting fillers such as Sculptra and Radiesse can be used to decrease the appearance of sagging along the jaw line and have a very natural look, but again only work up to a certain point.  However, once true pronounced jowls are present, it’s time to begin educating yourself on surgical facial rejuvenation.
