I am in my mid 30s and already seeing jowls. What can be done to give me a stronger jaw line. Fillers? Liposuction? (Photos)

Question

If liposuction is the best option is general anesthesia preferred or is there MDs that do chin/jowl Lipo in his/her office. I am assuming in office Lipo with local anesthesia is less expensive then going under general anesthesia. I am wondering if I added a filler to my checks if that would give my face enough of a lift to reduce jowls and give a more sculpted jaw line. I am open to hearing any ideas on what can make my face look less tired and aging. TIA

I recommend fillers for the jowls themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, Silhouette Instalift, Nova threads, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There are a number of treatments that can be considered.  Ultimately it is difficult to mask the area with fillers and a facelift may be required.  But at a younger age, the fillers can be very effective.  Kybella is also being used as an "off label" option.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Filler treatment to the midface/cheeks will lift the face and help correct any volume loss. I think you are also a great candidate for a nonsurgical skin tightening procedure like Thermage FLX. Thermage would tighten the skin, stimulate collagen product, and improve jawline definition. Combination of fillers and Thermage will give you a nice result.
