Would Aqualyx to dissolve fat from my jowls help define my jawline? (photos)

Question

I’m 37 and considering a mini facelift in the future as I have some fat slippage causing jowls, but in the meantime am wondering if Aqualyx injections in the jowl area would give me a v shaped jawline. Do I have enough skin elasticity for the skin to bounce back or would I be left with sagging skin and my jawline looking worse?

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

A branch of the facial nerve goes through the jowls through the subcutaneous fat layer and has a high chance of being damaged if chemical fat distraction is used in that area.

I would not recommend that option. Instead I recommend having some in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons to see what can and cannot be achieved through procedures that are more appropriate.

Best,
