What can I do to tighten my jowls area? Facelift 5 yrs ago and would now like to tighten up jowls without getting too aggressive

Question

We have found that a combination of ThermiTight's radiofrequency (RF) energy plus liposuction can create a nonsurgical necklift that can resolve jowling, double chins and mild turkey necks. We call this combination ThermiSculpture and have used it to rejuvenate necks, arms, and other areas of the body that have excess fat and skin. While it is not major surgery, it is invasive as it requires the insertion of a probe to deliver the RF energy and a cannula to remove fat. Also, whether this would be the best treatment in your case can only be determined in person. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who can offer you a variety of fat-reduction and skin-tightening techniques for a nonsurgical necklift.

Hello,Without pictures it is not possible to address your specific needs.There are both surgical and non-surgical pathways to improve the appearance of the jowl region. If the problem is minor, fillers can be very helpful. You may consider a Sillouette thread procedure. An extended chin implant may help. A FaceTite procedure may help. So, the best alternative for you would be determined by a consultation with a doctor near you that can see you and discuss your options.In the link provided, go to case # 0035. She was in her mid thirties, had a facelift by another physician and was not happy with the jowls and skin laxity at the corners of her mouth.  Sincerely,Dr. K
