Sagging jawline
Autumn,
The sagging skin around your jawline may be addressed in many ways. The spectrum ranges from the very invasive, neck/lower face lift surgery, to the very non-invasive, Fraxel or Thermage. In general, the more invasive a procedure to correct loose skin, the more dramatic and effective the result.

Dear AG
Unfortunately, you don't give me any other info other than the saggy jawline. If surgery is not what you are looking for you might try Thermage or one of the less invasive treatments. Speak to several plastic surgeons who can offer you a variety of options before deciding on either surgical or nonsurgical treatment.

Options for a sagging jawline
Certainly a photo would help to give you a better idea, but for most people the only way to significantly improve a sagging jawline is with a facelift. Other non-surgical options such as Thermage can be tried but they won't give you the same degree of improvement. So it depends on your starting point, and what your expectation level is for a result that will satisfy you.
