What to Do About Remaining Jowls After Lower Facelift?

O
oakley54Dec 22, 2009

I have had a lower facelift and my jowls did not move. How can a lower facelift correct and not correct the jowls? Do I have to do more lifting into my face? If not, what else can I do to correct the remaining jowls?

Your concerns are valid.  If you make the incision under the sideburn, it keeps the sideburn and hairline exactly the same; however, an incision in the scalp instead can hide the incision much better but can bring up the sideburn.  I would say that in good hands, the incision under the s...
