How many units of Botox are required to eradicate the sagging skin on the jowls?

The answer is NO.  Jowls develop as cheek skin and fat sag forward and collect just behind the mouth.    This leads to deepening of the nasolabial and marionette folds and bulging of jowl fat outward.  The underlying cause is looseness and therefore some type of tightening is needed to improve this condition.  Both surgical (cheek lift) and non-surgical (various technologies such as light based, ultrasound, and radiofrequency based) treatments offer different degrees of tightening.  Honestly, surgery tightens and smooths the tissue the most, and the non-surgical treatments offer just modest tightening.  Also, injection of fillers in the depressed folds in front of the jowl bulge can help smooth the transition into the jowl and camouflage the area.

Botox wouldn't work for the jowls. Consider fillers instead, which would replace volume loss and plump up the face to smooth away jowls.

The only way to treat effectively sagging jowls - is by undergoing a facelift/ neck lift surgery. Seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person consultation

Botox is not used to eradicate sagging skin of the jowls. A more appropriate treatment may be the use of facial fillers, skin tightening procedure such as ultherapy or a surgical procedure.Good Luck

Thanks for the question and by now you realize that Botox is not the best options for jowls – Botox is not for sagging. In order to make the jowls better, you need to tighten the skin. For this we can use some of the radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening devices that work well here – the Venus Legacy, the EndyMed 3Deep, the BTL Exilis, the Alma Accent, or the Ellman PelleFirm. Also, fractionated ultrasound, Ultherapy, can work here.Consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to learn the best treatment options for you.

Botox works by relaxing muscles to soften the wrinkles they create. Sagging jowls are due to loss of skin elasticity, loss of facial fat, and gravity. Botox would only serve to worsen the problem by causing the face to droop more.  Face lift surgery is likely what you'd need.

As you read most of the expert posters agree BOTOX is not for saggy areas. Where did you get that concept is more important now???

Botox, Dysport or Xeomin help eradicate wrinkles but not Jowls. Treatment of Jowls is mainly by Surgery. However lower jaw line shaping can be done by a clever use of fillers and Botox that will help minimise the appearance of the jowls. You should find an expert who routinely does thisAll the best

Botox Cosmetic is a wonderful product which primarily helps with dynamic wrinkles caused by the muscles of facial expression. Jowls are usually caused by drooping skin. Many times the problem is not with the loose skin around the jowls themselves, but by midface volume loss. Surgical options can include lower facelift with fat transfer to the cheek. For mild jowling and midface volume loss, one non-surgical option is cheek augmentation using Juvederm Voluma. Thanks for the question!

I am unaware of botox being use to treat sagging skin. I would check the source very carefully if someone is offering that treatment to you.
