Age 28, would fat dissolving help my jowls/heavy lower face? (Photos)

Question

I’m 28 and have had jowls since I can remember. I am self conscious of my heavy lower face and I am even thinking of saving for a face lift because everything is sagging down despite me only being 28! What can help the appearance of the lower heavy face?

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Your lips are very full. I wonder if you have had prior hyaluronic acid fillers. If you have a history of prior facial fillers, it is possible that some of the volume you are concerned about may be migrated hyaluronic acid filler. Fillers do not simply disappear from the face after 9 months. Particularly the low G prime fillers tend to migrate down the face. As they age, they tend to hold extra water making you filler than is ideal.  Which filler is prone to migration? All of the fillers migrate but some are worse than others including Voluma, Juvederm, many of the Restylanes, and Belotero. Companies push runny fillers because they think they are less prone to lumps and pumps. They are not doing you any favors. If you have a history of prior fillers, I recommend that you start by having them fully removed. This will require much more than a squirt of enzyme. Full face HA filler removal can take up to 600 units of hyaluronidase. Hope that is helpful.
