Fillers Applied in the Back of Jaw Bone?

In my opinion, injected fillers behind the mandible (jaw bone) will not do anything for your jowls.  Your jowls are present because of sagging of the lower face.  The most effective procedure for this is a facelift.

Fillers such as Radiesse can be injected in front of the jowl, in the pre-jowl sulcus.  The injected filler is placed right next to the bone, similar to silicone implants that were used for this purpose.  This can improve your appearance and camouflage jowling.  If your jowling is mild to moderate, this can work very well.   

Dear Ling Ling,


Radiesse can be placed in the cheek bone as well as along the jawline to remove the jowls

It looks great and will get the result you are looking for if your anatomy is right for the treatment

     Radiesse to the jaw area can give a slight lift to the jowls, but I stress the word "slight".  If you are expecting anything more, then you need something else.
