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?

Answer: Lower Facelift Result I am not sure what you exactly mean by a lower facelift. A facelift in general treats the lower face, meaning the neck and jowl area. You may just have had a neck lift which may not have corrected the jowl area. If your incision goes around the ear anteriorly, up to the sideburn area, then you had a formal face lift and should have had correction of the jowl area. If the incisions are limited to around the ear lobe and mainly posteriorly only then you essentially had a neck lift which does not correct the jowls appropriately.

Answer: Management of residual jowls after face lift Jowls can be attributed to skin and/or fat. Depending on the cause, different options are available for managing the condition. This may require additional tightening of the SMAS or skin. Alternatively, conservative liposuction is another possibility. In some instances, treatment of the area in front of the jowl, the so called pre-jowl. labiomandibular line, or marionette line. This area of the jawline can be augmented with fillers, fat, or implants
