I am 47 and have never been overweight. But I have inherited my father's jowls and double chin. Unfortunately, I will never be able to afford a facelift. Would botox under my jawline and/or neck help me at all? I already tried two Ultherapy treatments, one at full strength, and it had no effect. I'm feeling really bad about my appearance. Doctors, I appreciate your advice. Thanks!
Answer: Does Botox Help Jowls? Botox is great for a number of applications in the upper face, but doesn't have any relevance in treating jowls. The "11's", horizontal forehead lines, crows feet, and sometimes vertical lip lines can be minimized with appropriate doses of Botox. These are lines formed by repetitive muscular motion and Botox temporarily disrupts the communication between nerves and muscles. A Botox treatment has about a 3 month duration of effect.

Answer: Fillers or surgery for you Botox can relax the masseter muscles which would soften the jawline, but if the jowls are prominent and there is excessive sagging of tissues along the jawline, then fillers may be more suitable. Severe cases require surgery (facelift).

Answer: Jowling is addressed with facelift, not Botox
You have already spent $$ on Ultherapy with minimal result and are not contemplating moer spending on Botox - a good facelift will address your jowling and neck laxity. CareCredit and other financing organization may be able to help you finance this procedure.

Answer: Botox does not help jowls.
Botox does not help jowls. My best advice is to save money and have a facelift in the future. Other methods of so-called shrinking of the tissue will not give you the results you desire.

Answer: Would Botox Alone Help Jowls?
The lower face and neck really needs to be addressed with a lower face and neck lift. This may not be as expensive as you think. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facelifts, facelift revisions, and facial procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
