Will Total FX Help with "Jowls"?
I have been told I don't have enough loose skin for a face lift, but Total FX will help "rid" me of my little jowls. I have fair skin and am a sissy when it comes to pain.

The skin there is just too thick. You need to look at other options like fillers or a face-lift.... Hope this helps.
