So as the title states, I have mini jowls forming on both sides of my face. I smoked cigarettes for about 5 years, never wore sunscreen and tanned in the sun every summer and now I’m developing these ugly things. I quit smoking 3 years ago, and I have started taking my skincare more seriously and added a daily spf to my routine. What else can I do to treat them? Should I start with Botox to prevent them from sagging even more?

Answer: Jawline Definition / Jawline Enhancement / Facial Sculpting / Facial Contouring -- injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa 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.
