I'm 42 years old and I have jowls! Is there a non surgical procedure that can help me?

Hello,Thank you for your question. The Voluma looks great! There are several things you can do before a face lift. Profound is a combination of heat and microneedling. This will stimulate Collagen growth to lift and tighten the area. There is also Ulthera. This is  combination on Ultrasound and heat which could also lift and tighten the area. The final option is threading, this procedure will involve injecting a thread like material that will stimulate collagen to lift the area. Ulthera has the least amount of downtime. Minimal bruising and swelling. The Profound and threads will have about a week of downtime with swelling and bruising. The threads provide the most instant result, while Profound and Ulthera will require time for the collagen to grow, and the results to be fully visible. Make sure to consult with a local physician to determine that you get the best treatment. Good luck!

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

You may consider a Facelift in the future but there are excellent non-surgical options available to address lax skin of the jawline and neck that offer rapid recovery, minimal downtime and no open visible large scars. A combination of procedures will afford you the optimal rejuvenation.
Patients with moderate skin laxity of the lower face and neck are ideal candidates for the Endolift Laser which is FDA approved and used throughout Europe. The Endolift Laser targets pockets of fat in the jowl, face and neck. It stimulates collagen so the skin looks significantly better and tighter. The benefits are that the Endolift Laser is placed through tiny pin holes so there are no scars and the healing is rapid. This is an outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort during or after the procedure. The Endolift Laser is amazing in the hands of well trained individuals who understand how to avoid complications and know the optimal manner in which to target lax tissues. When used in combination with PDO Threads and possibility facial fillers, the results are ideal and the downtime is minimal. You may also benefit from selective facial fillers: Radiesse, RHA or Restylane to contour your jawline and cheeks. This will support lax skin and muscle of the lower face. The combination of the Endolift Laser, PDO Thread Lift and selective Facial Fillers is the choice for patients who wish rapid recovery, have moderate laxity of facial and neck skin and wish a natural and rejuvenated appearance. Botox will not assist sagging skin but when appropriate can diminish prominent neck bands or muscles.
Seeking a consultation with a well qualified individual is the first step.
