Cheek augmentation will not lift sagging jowls
No, cheek augmentation will not lift sagging jowls. Sagging jowls are best treated with a facelift. Cheek augmentation is performed for flat cheeks where the loss of soft tissue volume has occurred or there is just a flat bony projection of the cheek malar area. Cheek augmentation will not lift a sagging jowl.

It can give a false appearance of a jowl lift but the real answer is no. Photos would help and going to in person consultation is best. From MIAMI DR. B

Cheek augmentation and jowling
Cheek augmentation can be achieved surgically with silastic implants or through injections in the office. Although this can provide fuller, younger appearing cheeks and give the appearance of a "high cheek bone", it does not enhance or improve jowling. Prejowl implants, injections, or a facelift may assist with your jowling issues.

If jowling is your primary concern, some sort of a facelift to elevate the relaxed tissue along the jawline or a prejowl implant to camouflage this fullness would be more approriate. A good consultation will help you define your problem, establish...

Non Surgical Cheek Augmentation
Deep smiles on the sides of the nose, prominent "marionette" ("sad") lines extending from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin, and jowls along the jaw line result in large measure from the loss of volume of the cheek pads and the downward descent of the remnant of those pads, as well as from the loss of bone from the cheeks and chin.
Since the shrinkage of the once convex and heart-shaped cheek pad and the downward migration of the shriveled...

Lifting Sagging Jowls
Since jowls are the result of both descent of lax tissue and some deflation of the tissues under the skin, a cheek lift can give some reduction of jowls. An implant will provide a little lift. By filling the hollow below the cheek also with an injectable filler, you will lift them slightly more, since the filling is closer to the problem. Neither will give total improvement, however. The only way to totally correct them is with a facelift. The newer facelifts, such as the MACS Lift, or...
