Slight adjusment will do the trick

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??

Hi there- the most direct and effective method of dealing with your slight bit of recurrent sag around the jawline would be to perform a minor adjustment of your lift- I typically do these in the office with just a bit of local anesthesia, and it takes about 45 minutes. There is no significant bruising or swelling, and most people need only Tylenol for a day or so. In the end, this technique will give you the improvement you want, almost immediately, is low risk, and solves the problem, rather than camouflaging it. Talk to your surgeon about it.
