Fillers Applied in the Back of Jaw Bone?

Can a thick filler like Radiesse be applied in the back of the jawbone to temporarily pull and hold SEMI-SAGGY jowls? Crazy idea? Note that 7 yrs ago I inquired about fillers in temples for soft upper face lift and I was told "NO-WAY" by several Drs. and now day this area is treated with fillers (?!). So far, Ultherapy hsn't work, botox worked a bit and now I'm wondering if a thick filler will temp.give better results? (not looking for minilift either) Thank you all! :)

Radiesse for Jawline...

Yes, Radiesse is a great option for what you are looking for. Be sure you go to an experienced injector who can give you this "look". Dr. Grant Stevens Marina Plastic Surgery Associates Marina del Rey, CA The Institute

Radiesse works well to improve a sagging jawline

Radiesse absolutely works to build in front of and behind the jowl. Especially in combination with restoring cheek volumes, these maneuvers create significant tightening of the jawline.

Can Radiesse be used in the jaw area to lift and reshape the face?

The answer is yes. Radiesse is a great product to fill and lift a sagging jaw line. It can be used in the jaw, cheeks and pre auricular area to lift and reshape the face We do use it in the temple areas too. Although many of these areas are considered "off Label" We have had good success with the treatments.

Filler to Jawline Can Improve "Saggy" Jowls

Hi Ling Ling, You were ahead of your time years ago about filler use in the temples. Today you are right on about the use of volume to correct signs of aging. The "semi-saggy" jowls that you refer to are usually the result of loss of volume of the surrounding areas of the face including bone of the mandible and midface, fat pads, and sometimes even muscle. The use of a "thicker" filler such as Radiesse along the jawline can help to camouflage the jowl area.... more

The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Facelift Works Well For Mild Sagging and Jowls

Congratulations on your original thinking. It took aesthetic physicians a long time and a lot of work to appreciate and implement what you seem to have intuited on your own. Over the last decade our understanding of how our skin ages has undergone a revolution. Whereas once the visible signs of facial and neck aging were attributed exclusively to skin laxity or looseness, today, we know that the sagging, drooping, wrinkling, textural alterations, etc that characterize the passage of time... more

Fillers applied in the back of jaw bone

My answer would be that it depends on what you mean by "semi-saggy". Fillers can be used along the jawline, and successfully, but it's a very minor change only. If when you look in the mirror and are looking at the "semi-saggy" area, if you are using your fingertips to pull the area back tightly and firmly, then no that kind of lift cannot be obtained simply by fillers. It will be a minor change that any filler will be able to give. So your best bet would be to see a good physician injector... more

Radiesse injections

Yes, Radiesse and other fillers are now being injected along the jaw and right infront of the ear to replace volume that is lost in the aging process or as a result of a face lift. By placing fillers in this area it naturally lifts the jowls and cheek area creating a mini lift. As you stated, 7 yrs ago we would have said no but over the years the techniques have evolved with the trend to delay surgery as long as possible. Look for an injector in your area that is using... more

Radiesse to enhance the jawline

Yes radiesse can be used to enhance the contour of the jawline. It can be injected in the pre jowl sulcus and in some situations the angle of the mandible. This is not a substitute but and alternative to facelift surgery.

Fillers To Lift Jowls

My first assessment is that I would prefer to see you in person in order to make a full assessment of your situation. You may actually be having some masseteric hypertrophy that is giving you more of a square face than you’d like. But I do understand the jowling concept and how a liquid lift and volume enhancement of your upper face and lateral malar region can actually improve your jowling. Without seeing you I have some concerns as to whether or not your assessment of what... more
