I'm 40 and already have loose jowls. I would like a fresher cleaner look. What would you recommend?
Answer: Facelift versus fillers Sure, fillers may soften the jowls slightly, but this is not the best solution. Adding weight to the bottom of your face is a Band-Aid for the real problem which is the fact that the tissues have fallen. Fillers are a half measure which I would only entertain if you are set against surgery or do not have the financial means to do so. A mini facelift will allow that sagging tissue to be lifted back up to where it fell from, thereby restoring a heart-shaped looked your face. See a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. If you've see a "cosmetic Dr. " or "dermatologic surgeon " you will not be given the real surgical options, and may get sold on fillers when in fact they are not the best answer.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Mini lift for jowls By looking at your pictures, you do have early signs of aging face. You could benefit from a mini facelift to improve your jowling, and Fat Grafting with PRP to ad volume to your mid-face area. This is your best permanent option. The other option is fillers and Co2 laser resurfacing. Chronological aging is not a determining factor for a facelift rather physical aging. In my practice, I have seen some 40 year old that needed full facelift and there were some 50 year old that only benefited from Botox and fillers. Having a facelift surgery at an early age has no disadvantages, as long as you’re a good candidate for it. Since you’re experiencing an accelerated aging face, you probably need another one in 10 years to maintain a refreshed look. I would recommend that you find a facial specialist who has performed thousands of facelifts.

Answer: Jowl Thank you for your question, Ebs1976. You are able to address sagging jowls via the Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift and Kybella. Kybella is a non-invasive in-office treatment with a short recovery of little to no discomfort. The Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift offers the same type of convenient recovery but is slightly more invasive to provide a more extensive improvement of the jowls. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine the personalized treatment plan that is best for you.Best wishes,

Answer: Sagging Face -- Fillers/sculptra, Thermi, Thermage/Ultherapy/Venus Legacy, Viva Resurfacing There are many options but volume with fillers/fat/sculptra and skin tightening with ultherapy/thermage are the best options at younger ages to avoid surgery. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: A permanent solution Hi Ebs1976Great question! My Concept facelift would be a fabulous option.What makes the Concept™ Facelift so revolutionary is that is has the same results as traditional facelift methods but can have you back to work within days rather than months. If you are looking for a procedure that will flatter and rejuvenate you, without too stark a difference post operatively, then a Concept™ Facelift is for you.Do some research though and talk to a qualified and experienced surgeon whom you can build rapport and trust. They can also show you some before and after photo's and even perhaps, get past clients to talk to you.All the best with your journey and getting your desired results.

Answer: A lower face/neck lift under local can sure get rid of saggy jowls. Getting a lower face/neck lift is fairly easy to undergo when done under local with a little iv sedation. It really gets rid of jowls and tightens necks up great.
