Options for Correcting Loose Jowls?

L
LatorettaJan 28, 2007

Have had a neck lift 3 years ago - and am now seeing the ever slight looseness on my jowl line.  Would like to avoid a face lift, but am wary about the thread lifts - anything else out there??

Unfortunately it is more of a skin laxity and aging issue than a neck lift. No matter how hard you pull it will loosen. The best approach is to tighten the skin with lasers, microneedling etc. Sofwave is good for the tightening and Resurfx or Fraxel on the skin surface wrinkles. Regards Dr. J
