What can I do to have a better looking profile/jawline while I save for facelift? (Photos)

Improving your profile and jawline while saving for a facelift can involve a combination of non-surgical treatments, lifestyle changes, and skincare routines. Here are some cost-effective strategies you can consider:

### Non-Surgical Treatments
1. **Dermal Fillers**: Fillers like hyaluronic acid can add volume to areas that have lost it and help contour the jawline. They usually last 6-18 months.
2. **Botox**: Botox can be used to reduce the appearance of neck bands and improve the jawline by relaxing certain muscles.
3. **Kybella**: This injectable treatment can reduce submental fat (double chin), improving your jawline definition.
4. **Thread Lifts**: Minimally invasive and less costly than a full facelift, thread lifts can provide a temporary lift to the skin.
5. **Ultherapy or HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)**: These treatments use ultrasound to stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting the skin over time.

### Skincare Routine
1. **Retinoids**: Retinoids (like Retin-A or over-the-counter retinol) can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
2. **Vitamin C Serum**: This can brighten your skin and improve collagen production.
3. **Sunscreen**: Protecting your skin from UV damage is crucial. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
4. **Moisturizers**: Keeping your skin hydrated can improve its overall appearance. Look for products with hyaluronic acid or peptides.

### Lifestyle Changes
1. **Diet and Hydration**: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can improve skin health. Staying hydrated is also key.
2. **Exercise**: Regular exercise can improve circulation and muscle tone. Facial exercises specifically can help tone the muscles around your jawline.
3. **Sleep**: Ensure you get enough quality sleep, as this is when your body repairs and regenerates skin cells.

### At-Home Devices
1. **Facial Rollers and Gua Sha**: These tools can help with lymphatic drainage and improve circulation, giving your skin a temporary lift.
2. **Microcurrent Devices**: These devices stimulate facial muscles, which can help with lifting and tightening.

### General Tips
1. **Posture**: Good posture can enhance the appearance of your neck and jawline.
2. **Hairstyle and Makeup**: Certain hairstyles and makeup techniques can accentuate your jawline and draw attention away from areas you’re less confident about.

### Consultation
- **Dermatologist or Cosmetic Specialist**: Consulting with a professional can help you tailor a plan specific to your needs and budget. They can also ensure that any treatments you choose are safe and appropriate for your skin type.

Implementing a combination of these strategies can help you maintain a more youthful appearance while you save for your facelift.

Before you jump into any expenisive, invasive surgeries that also involve significant, prolonged post-surgical healing and downtime, you might wish to consider the skilled use of robust HA fillers for straightening and defining the jawline, creating better harmony between the projections of the nose, lips and chin in profile, and a Nonsurgical Filler Necklift. Both of these filler procedures take about fifteen minutes each to perform, the results are immediate typically giving rise to a "Wow!" reaction and there is little to no significant downtime.
You would be wise to make sure, however, to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert as these filler techniques are advanced injection techniques that should not be left to the hands of novice, inexperienced injectors accustomed only to treating simple smile lines with ordinary Restylane or plain Juvederm.
Hope this helps and best of luck.
