I was told a little filler slightly above the chin area would help with smoothing the line from jaw jowl to chin? I was told previously to put some in my cheek/jaw but then later told by a different physician this option. Or would you suggest Ultherapy?
Answer: Dermal fillers and Morpheus 8 Hi @jroselius. I recommend a combination of dermal fillers and Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck, Dr. Nima

Answer: Ultherapy or fillers for jowls Thank you for your question. I suggest a combination of both fillers and Ultherapy. Fillers are excellent for restoring fullness to areas of the face that have lost volume and Ultherapy gradually lifts the skin using ultrasound technology. I would suggest a consultation with an experienced provider to determine which treatment is best for you. All the best!

Answer: Filler for jowls? Hello and thank you for your question. From your photo you seem to have a little early jowling which can be addressed in several different ways. One method is not necessarily better than another but should be chosen on how much you want to spend, do you have any available downtime etc. You have two issues;one is too much adipose tissue sagging in that area and one is a deficiency of bone. You can treat this with Kybella to dissolve some of the fat and a filler such as Juvederm or Restylane or Bellafill or fat to augment the deficiency. Depending on the appearance from the frontal view, it is possible a mini lift or "weekend" lift may also be appropriate. Furthermore, cheek augmentation will also elevate the jowl and could be considered. Regarding Ultherapy for this problem, I do not recommend it. Bottom line is you really need an in person consultation with a board certified physician to determine the best option for you. Best of luck!

Answer: Treatment of jowls There are multiple treatments options available all depending on the degree of aging and whether you want non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment. Severe jowling is usually treated with re-draping the skin as with a short incision facelift. Fillers work well when placed in the pre-jowl area along the chin. This usually provides a well contoured youthful jawline. Sometimes Botox at the corners of the mouth and skin re-surfacing is helpful. good luck.
