42 y/o concerned about drooping jowls - Am I a candidate for lower face or cheek lift? (photo)

Question

I'm 42. And feel that my jowls are drooping

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A full set of facial and neck photographs from all angles are required to make the best determination about what is the best procedure for you. It appears that you have a recessive chin, and significant pre-Jowl sulcus which makes your jowls look bigger than they really are. You may be a candidate for a chin implant to give better structural support for the soft tissues.

Gerald Wittenberg, MSc, DMD (retired) · Answer

You have a very small/narrow lower jawline which does not support your tissues; so the tissues look 'sagging'. The longterm successful approach is to ensure the underlying bone support is proper since it not only looks better, but is g ood for aging
