Can filler in cheeks and jaw line lift jowls? (Photo)

Question

My doctor thinks I should have filler 4ml in total. 1ml each side of my jawline and 1ml each on my cheeks or above to help lift my face. Not sure if this will be effective or even worth the money. Can fillers be used to lift jowls? Thanks

Thank you for your question.  You may consider combining fillers with a thread lift for optimal results. Ultimately you will need a to schedule a consultation with a reputable doctor to determine the best treatment option for you.  Best regards

Thanks for your question and photograph. You may get some improvement in the jowls from filler (liquid facelift) but generally the results are not dramatic and an alternative approach should be used if you really want some dramatic lifting of the jowls.  A minimally invasive thread lift can help, but the most dramatic results are achieved with a surgical facelift or minimal incision facelift.  Please see an expert.

Fillers in the cheeks will have zero effect on your jowls. Fillers to the jawline will just camouflage your jowls if done properly. If done incorrectly, it can actually make it look worse. If you are looking for non-surgical treatments only, there are multiple options which when used in combination can provide improvement to your cheeks, jawline, jowls, and neck. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider for an in-person consultation and evaluation to determine which combination of treatments would be most appropriate for you. Best wishes.

Hi,You are very unlikely to meet your stated goals with filler. Your best option for addressing the jowls is with a facelift. The next best option is FaceTite (radiofrequency) which is a minimally invasive treatment to address the jawline and jowls. Best,

They may help to reduce the appearance of jowls but they won't raise them completely. $ml seems like a good trial place to start but you may need more. If that's sounding too expensive for you it might be worth considering surgery for longer-term results.
