115lb weight loss - what can I do to improve my jawline/jowls? (Photos)

Question

I lost 115 pounds and have been left with a saggy jawline side profile/ double chin. I have 4 syringes of chin filler and 2 in my lips to help accentuate my face but my jowls are still very prominent. Its more loose skin than fat which is why I havent considered liposuction. The front profile looks alot better than the side. This is the biggest thing I have always wanted to improve about my appearance. Any advice or recommendations would be so appreciated!

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi @Haleyrose58762. Thank you for sharing your photos.  I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment that helps to improve the texture, tone, and appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen production and remodeling. The depth of the microneedles and the intensity of the RF energy can be adjusted based on the individual's needs and desired results. This flexibility allows the treatment to target specific areas of concern, such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Liposuction under local with the addition of Morpheus and Facetite to tighten up the skin would make a huge improvement and is so  easy to undergo.  You can look so much better in just 1 day. Cost is on special for only $4750 currently and is so worth it.

I would consider addressing the excess adipose tissue in your neck along with the subplatysmal structures in order to improve the contour and side profile you mentioned.

First, congratulations on your weight loss! That's an amazing accomplishment.
You look very young in the picture, so I would assume your skin quality and elasticity is quite good.
To help your areas of concern, I would recommend a combination of liposuction and laser tightening.

I would recommend a composite HIGH SMAS facelift/necklift. This would permit us to tighten the deeper neck and facial structures. It then uses the skin as a redraping tool to highlight the deeper changes. I would highly recommend finding a board-eligible or board-certfied
