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??

CONTACT NOW Answer: Minimally invasive to invasive procedures for jowls There are several minimally invasive techniques to help reduce the appearance of jowls – it’s just a question of “how much” will the minimally invasive techniques help. As a board certified plastic surgeon, I hear these concerns from patients quite frequently. Cosmetic thread lifts are one option but you state you are wary about them. Another would be microneedling with RF (radiofrequency) to help stimulate collagen formation and to tighten skin. Both require no anesthesia and the recovery time is minimal. Another option is the liquid facelift which adds filler along the posterior jawline and cheekbones to help lift the skin away from the jowls. These procedures can be helpful, but the most effective way to reduce your jowls would be a lower facelift to remove the excess skin and resuspend the tissue to a higher, more attractive position. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon in person to discuss your concerns and to determine which treatment would be best for you.

Answer: Fillers can give mild improvement but surgery is still the best option Unfortunately the best option for the treatment of jowls is surgery, and that would be a face lift, not a neck lift. The neck lift does not address the jowls, only the neck skin. If you are interested in avoiding surgery, you can always try less invasive but less effective options. These include microneedling, radiofrequency devices, or fillers, which can be injected adjacent to the jowling itself, as well as in the chin, to blunt the way the jowls look and make the jaw line smoother in apperance. Best to meet with a plastic surgeon in person or online to better define and discuss your particular anatomy.

Answer: Correction of Jowls with Facelift Hi @LAtoretta! The key to a great facelift is correction of jowls and the neck. A necklift often involves the incisions required by a facelift so you should not be too worried about avoiding the facelift. When performed correctly, those around you will notice that you look better or “rested”, but the reason won’t be clear to them.

Answer: Slight jowls after facelift Controlling the appearance of the jawline when the problem of jowls is mild can be matter of camouflage or actual treatment. Camouflage would be delivered by building the volume of the jawline around the jowls, with filler, fat transfer or Sculptra. These options are best when the jawline in general is a little thin.Treatment depends on whether the jowls are full or empty.If they are full, reducing the volume excess can be the answer and this can be through liposuction, either normal or energy assisted such as laser or radio frequency. If the jowls are empty, they reflect loss of skin elasticity and a mini-lift may be the most elegant solution.

Answer: Neck Skin Sagging / Platysmaplasty -- neck lift/Facelift, Lasers, Microneedling RF, Fillers, Renuvion, ThermiRF, FaceTite With significant neck sagging you would need a neck lift / facelift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, lasers treatments (Fraxel, CO2, Erbium) or microneedling RF (Fractora, Intensif) can be performed to improve crepey skin or wrinkles. You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach: - Microneedling and laser treatments for texture - Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau to help the Platysmal bands - Intensif or Fractora RF microneedling for crepey skin and lifting - Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, and/or Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds - Renuvion, ThermiRF, and/or InMode FaceTite for internal tightening - Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening - regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness - PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production See an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.
