What procedures would be best for premature sagging and early jowling? (Photo)

October 3, 2023
Asked By:Imaginative281538 in Los Angeles, California

I'm almost 30, and within the last couple years, I've really noticed changes in my face, such as volume loss and a heaviness in my jawline towards my chin. Weight seems to be settling around my mouth. I'm very opposed to fillers in the face, and would much rather a more permanent solution. Would facial fat transfer be a good option if I'm looking to restore balance to my face?

Is fat transfer enough, or would you recommend implants? (Cheeks)
John L. Burns Jr., MD says:

Fat is readily available and there is an endless supply so correcting to full correction is always possible unlike with expensive and temporary fillers. It works well to augment the facial skeleton. Cheek implants do erode the bone and can look unnatural over time.
