Jowls starting ? Age 30, what to do? (photos)

Thank you for your question, lisalaffy30. Jowls can be treated via Kybella and Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your best personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.Best wishes,

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

First do not do anything crazy!   The issue you have is a common issue.  The creasing you are starting to see is along your smile lines.  When you smile the crease forms in those areas.  I would definitely recommend a good skin care program.  I will also emphasize the importance of nutrition and keeping your weight steady. If you did want to choose a procedure I think one of the newer radiofrequency (juvashape) or ultrasound  procedures would help a little without any downside.  Whatever you do, you want it to look better without looking like you did something.   In summary, No cures. Prevention-  Skin care, Nutrition, Weight ---the more ideal well ..... the more ideal.If you really want to try something, than a nonsurgical approach.

Your changes of aging are very subtle. This means the solution should be subtle as well. And noninvasive.I think the answer for you is some combination of very judicious fillers placed expertly, as well as some noninvasive tissue tightening device. There are several such fillers and such devices out there, that you need to visit with a few plastic surgeons to determine whom you trust and whose philosophy you agree with. Start subtle and realize that as you age, at some point there will be a limitation to when fillers and noninvasive treatments can effectively do the job. Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Hello Lidalaffy30-It's a lucky thing that you are still very young, as in the next 10-15 years we will probably see an explosion of new non-surgical modalities that can tighten skin. Combine that with some fillers that we already have (and more will also be coming) and you will be able to hold on to your youthful looks for sometime. Your challenge is to find the right plastic surgeon (aesthetic doctor) that will only buy the machine that does eventually work (not wasting your time and money), can combine it with the right fillers and do it all with a keen eye. It will be exciting:). All the best,Dr. A.
