I had injections done of sculptra and the jowl or fat pads and the extra fat at the chin just under the jaw line are still there on the side of my mouth like folds of fat..drives me nutty. I am constantly having to be photographed with my work and need them gone now! what else can I do? I realize I look great for my age I have always taken care of myself and this plastic surgery and injections are new to me. I dont want to continue to waste money

Answer: Several options - from least to most
Slight jowls can be camouflaged by injecting a filler such as Radiesse.just in front of the jowl, to blunt the visibility of the angle. This is fast, fairly cheap, and lasts up to a year.
Radiofrequency devices do exist that can produce a small amount of skin tightening there.
Bigger jowls generally need a bigger solution.- generally a lift.

Answer: Sculptra & Radiesse for volume
Injections of Sculptra & Radiesse are helpful if someone needs volume or lift. Alternatives to facial injections, if you have good volume, are facelift surgery, neck surgery & Ultherapy. Ultherapy, if you have good volume, is a noninvasive, minimally downtime procedure which allows for tightening and may help with jowls. The important thing to remember when treating jowls with Sculptra and Radiesse is to do it in such a way that it creates lifting and does not make the jowls worse. But Sculptra and Radiesse are not the same thing as a facelift.
