Hello all, In the past year, I have suddenly developed bad jowls/nasolabial folds. I can no longer look at myself and feel like I have aged beyond my years. It really affects my self confidence, so I went to a spa where they recommended that I get masseter botox. Unfortunately, while I have seen my jaw area thin out, the jowling is progressively getting worse! I am thinking of saving for a lower facelift. I am wary of losing any more facial fat. I would love professional advice. Thank you!
Answer: Masseter Are these photos pre or post masseter injection? You don't seem to have significant jowling or nasolabial folds at all. Especially at your age, I think you can get away with doing more conservative treatments such as microneedling with radiofrequency (a series of treatments) to get skin tightening, I would avoid doing the m asseter botox as this will indeed decrease bulk in the jaw resulting in excess skin, possibly sculptra as well to build collagen. Otherwise, another option for you might be to consider a chin implant, which looks like it will balance your facial volume better and also will give the advantage of tightening some of the skin around the jawline.

Answer: You do not have severe jowls. Don't harm yourself pursing issues that are not such a big deal. You are over filled. The perioral filler drifts out of the lip edge into the nasolabial area and lower cheek. If you have ever had cheek fillers, these also can drift into the lower cheek. This unwanted volume will make you look older. The solution is large dose hyaluronidase, the enzyme that breaks down the filler. Don't talk yourself into surgery or services you don't need. Masseter botox will not fix this.

Answer: Seeking Professional Advice: Severe Jowls at 27, Considering Masseter Botox and Lower Facelift Firstly, it's important to understand that masseter Botox is primarily used to reduce the size of the masseter muscle for patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) or for cosmetic reasons such as facial slimming. It may not directly address the issue of jowling.A lower facelift, on the other hand, is a more direct approach to address sagging skin and fat in the lower part of the face. It can significantly improve the appearance of jowls and provide a more youthful contour. However, like all surgical procedures, it comes with potential risks and complications and the outcome can also be influenced by individual factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and age.Non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers or thread lift could be another option to consider. They can provide a temporary improvement in the appearance of jowls by adding volume or lifting the skin.

Answer: Jowling First of all, you are beautiful and comparatively speaking, your jowling is minimal. Shrinking your masseters could actually make your jowling worse. By decreasing the size of your massters, lower face tissue (skin and fat) can become heavier and more pronounced. My recommendations would be lower face tox along the jawline (targeting the platysma) to give you a little lift. Also, perhaps jawline filler to add surface area to the jawline and camouflage/smooth out the jowl area. Other, non-injectable modalities could also be used to tighten the lower face. i.e. Morpheus or SylfirmX.
