Skin tightening- lower face. Endolift, Ultherapy or Sofwave, which is the best option? (Photos)

Question

Hi I am 43 yrs old and am noticing some sagging, particularly in the lower face. I am considering a non-surgical tighterning treatment- the options available to me are Endolift, Ultherapy or Sofwave. What would be the most effective of these for tightening jaw line? I do not want to lose facial fat. Is there anything else that would be recommended for me? My aim to look more youthful

The Endolift Laser is a unique laser that uses a thin optical fiber placed though tiny pin holes to painlessly contour fat and tighten skin from below the skin surface. 
Woman in their 40s are good candidates for the Endolift Laser, as your ability to produce healthy collagen, which is what the skin is made up of, will offer very good results.  
 A consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who does Endolift Laser  will further enlighten you as to the benefits.

The very fact that a strong of expensive, supposedly "next big thing" energy-based gizmos were cited in your question, rather than simple fillers,  reflects the enormous power of heavy marketing hype and social media influencer buzz in shaping public perceptions. The unfortunate reality when it comes to so many of the "here-today-gone-tomorrow" devices is that the hard science to support their use lags well behind the hype to promote them.
At least from the photos provided, the use of a robust HA contouring filler can help to define and straighten the jawline. Additional benefit in straightening the jawline can be obtained with the use of a robust HA volumizing to enhance chin projection, which would also harmonize the projections of the chin with the those of the nose and lips in the profile view. 
You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert.
