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.

Answer: Treating the Jowls Treating the Jowls is one of the most commonly requested areas when I see someone asking about a Lifting procedure. The jowl is a combination of loose skin and fat that once lived on the face that begins to droop into the neck just lateral to the corners of the mouth. The jowl is caused by ageing and attenuation of the mandibular facial ligament. Much like a scaffold that holds up planks of steel the ligament holds up the facial anatomy. With ageing the scaffold drops and you get Jowling. Filling the area with a dermal filler works to some extent but it is analagous to holding up the scaffold with a sand bag, eventually too much filler creates a messy site. The Gold Standard to treat the jowl is to do a lower Facelift (Short Scar) and lift the ligament and facial tissue where it belongs and once was. A Facelift will last anywhere between 7-10 years and longer if combined with a Full Face and Neck.

Answer: Effective Treatments for Lifting Jowls: Long-Lasting Options for a Defined Jawline For addressing jowls, especially when past filler treatments like Restylane have provided limited results, you may want to explore more targeted and longer-lasting options. Consider treatments such as non-invasive skin-tightening procedures like C02 laser or radiofrequency microneedling, which stimulate collagen production for a firmer appearance. For more significant lifting, surgical options such as a mini facelift or a neck lift may provide the most effective and durable results. Since your skin is in good condition, these treatments can likely enhance your natural structure beautifully. Consulting with a qualified professional will help determine the best approach tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Answer: Short answer: a deep-plane facelift The most effective and long-lasting treatment for lifting jowls, particularly in someone with good skin quality at 51, is a facelift. This surgical procedure directly addresses the sagging skin and underlying tissues, repositioning them to create a smoother, more defined jawline and eliminating jowls. It offers more dramatic and enduring results compared to non-surgical options. There are many types of facelift, and even more "signature" catchy-named options, but in general it is well established that the deep plane lift gives a more durable result.

Answer: Neck and Lower Facelift Hello, hope you are well. In general, the best way to treat jowling reliably and definitively is with a facelift. Your photos demonstrate mild/moderate jowling and a bulge underneath the chin from excess adipose tissue (fat) in gravity dependent areas. There are some minimally invasive options you could consider like FaceTite with liposuction to sculpt the lower face and neck while tightening the skin, but these are less effective than what can be accomplished surgically. A facelift and neck lift require skin incisions and anesthesia, but the results are transformative when properly executed.
