What is the least invasive way to improve the look of my lower face. I hate how the cheeks fold down and forward creating the unsightly crease. My jaw line is in need of fixing too. The saggy jowly bits are so aging! I have had rhinoplasty with chin and cheek implants to lift the cheeks and I have also had radiesse injections to lift the cheeks up. I want a permanent solution so I can get on with my life feeling pretty.

Answer: Face and neck lift vs. maintenance Based on your photos it seems that face and neck surgery with fat grafting around cheeks, eyes and chin may be a good and long lasting solution for you. It is not going to produce too much change but it will address jowls, jaw line, lower face and cheeks. I am not sure that you will need submental (bellow chin) incision. In experienced hands it is much more simple surgery then many patient anticipate. It will provide natural looking, long lasting result (10-12 years) that will ultimately end up being more affordable then "maintenance" that you are currently paying for. Good luck.

Answer: Unhappy with hanging cheeks, jowls and jawline For a definitive solution to heavy jowling your options are limited to surgery. Given that your chief concern is your jawline and cheeks, and that your skin appears to have retained good elasticity, my recommendation is for a mini-facelift or cheeklift. Best wishes! Harry V.
