Fillers can hide the jowls.

George J. Beraka, MD answers: Sculptra for sagging skin around jaw?

Someone asked if Sculptra would be good for sagging skin around the jaw. How could injections do this? Wouldn't that be a face lift?

Hi!  When you get looseness of the jawline with jowls, a dent forms between the jowl and the chin (called the "pre jowl sulcus").  If the dent is filled in, the jowl is a lot less obvious, and the jawline looks cleaner and smoother.  That's the role of fillers in the jawline.

I don't use Sculptra because it requires multiple treatments.  We have had very good,  long lasting results with Radiesse.
