I’m 25 and already getting jowls. What can I do to treat them? (Photo)

Hi @moonmomma95! I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 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!

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. A multi-modal treatment is your best option, including dermal filler placement, microneedling, and chemical peels, while continuing with your skin care regimen. Hope this helps.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. Additionally, there are great lasers and microneedling with radiofrequency like Morpheus 8 which tightening the skin while also improving skin tone and texture. I always think of a comprehensive combination approach to reaching one's goals, and in your case I think a combination between skincare, lasers, and fillers would offer you the best results with botox on the lateral side (crow's feet). Given you are close by, I hope to see you soon in West Hollywood! Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, thank you for your question. I would recommend fillers and Botox, schedule a consultation to see a local expert injector with extensive experience and training to ensure optimal results and safety.

From your description and photos you are on the right track by following a good skin care routine, wearing sunscreen every day, and of course quitting smoking. You may want to add Morpheus8 treatments. This will stimulate your body's natural collagen production giving more support and tone to your skin. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Hello and thank you for your question! For our younger patients who feel their skin may be drooping and jowls may be forming prematurely, we would recommend Ultherapy as a possible option. Ultherapy is a treatment that is FDA-approved to tighten and lift the skin. Ultherapy is micro-focused ultrasound energy that that is transmitted through a handheld device to target the layer just below the skin where collagen growth occurs. By targeting the deeper layer, the body’s own immune system will stimulate a healing response with new collagen growth, which will improve tightness and the overall skin appearance. The most commonly treated areas are the brow, neck and under the chin. We recommend seeing a trained Registered Nurse or plastic surgeon in a board-certified plastic surgery practice who can assess your individual anatomy before treatment. Best of luck!

Using certain types of highly cohesive fillers for jaw line enhancement will definitely help in solving your problem, i would love also to consider the use of radiofrequency microneedling in the treatment plan such as ( Morphus 8 and Agnus) to help in tightening this area and promoting your skin to create more collagen.
Wish you all the best

Hi, congratulations on quitting smoking and taking care of your skin, it will all help improve your skin and overall health. I review your pic and I did see the mild jowls. I won’t start fillers or neurotoxins as the first quicker approach. Rather, invest in collagen stimulation therapies such as ultherapy, PDO, Morpheus8 or chemical peels such TCAs to help promote tightening. Be sure your skin care product is pharmaceutical grade, I recommend neocutis, Jan Marini or Is clinical anti-aging and skin tightening products. Continue to use spf be sure it’s above 30. By following the above recommendation you may have time to push back neurotoxins and dermal fillers till your late 30’s to 40’s.

Hi there,
For that area some filler can be placed in you chin and either side of the chin to help provide structure to the lower face and reduce jowling. You chin is on the small side and appears to be a bit retruded, so adding structure and projection to your chin will improve the jowling.

Hi there,
Thank you for your question. It appears that you have some volume loss midface. You would do well with fillers and perhaps skin tightening. See an expert for a consultation and discuss which product is best for you.

Best of luck..
