What's the best way to get rid of jowls that are beginning to appear from the corners of my mouth down to my chin? It's especially noticeable in my profile view. About a year ago, I had Restalyne treatments in the areas just below the corners of my mouth with only limited success. Is there any longer-lasting, more effective treatment specifically for "lifting" jowls? I'm 51 years old and have really good skin otherwise. I'm including two side by side pix after I was snorkeling in Aruba last spring, so I look really bad, but it pretty clearly shows the jowls issue.

Answer: Short answer: a deep-plane facelift The most effective and long-lasting treatment for lifting jowls, particularly in someone with good skin quality at 51, is a facelift. This surgical procedure directly addresses the sagging skin and underlying tissues, repositioning them to create a smoother, more defined jawline and eliminating jowls. It offers more dramatic and enduring results compared to non-surgical options. There are many types of facelift, and even more "signature" catchy-named options, but in general it is well established that the deep plane lift gives a more durable result.

Answer: Neck and Lower Facelift Hello, hope you are well. In general, the best way to treat jowling reliably and definitively is with a facelift. Your photos demonstrate mild/moderate jowling and a bulge underneath the chin from excess adipose tissue (fat) in gravity dependent areas. There are some minimally invasive options you could consider like FaceTite with liposuction to sculpt the lower face and neck while tightening the skin, but these are less effective than what can be accomplished surgically. A facelift and neck lift require skin incisions and anesthesia, but the results are transformative when properly executed.

Answer: Jowls correction Excellent question! I think a facelift with necklift and liposuction would address your concerns. With the facelift and necklift, I usually work on the SMAS (connective tissue layer underneath the skin) as well to help lift the lower face and improve the jowls. The combination of liposuction will remove some of the fat around the chin and chisel the jawline. Fillers are good, but they are short-term solutions that help camouflage rather than fix your concerns.
