Sagging jowls mid 20s. What are my options to fix it? (Photo)

Question

I'm 26 with sagging jowls especially noticeable when I talk. I don't notice this issue on other people. I want to know what my options are to fix it. I only have lip & nose filler. No facial fillers.

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @ajacks28. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend a combination treatment of dermal fillers and Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Options are Y Lift or Liquid facelift with fillers ($12,000); 1-stitch facelift with less fillers or fat grafting; micro & nano face grafting; mini FL w SMAS plication & fillers or fat. Best in person or virtual. Expect fees in the $10,000++++ ranges.

Hi there, and thanks for your question! A facelift or jowl lift, which are surgical procedures, are two of the most effective ways to get rid of sagging jowls. There are less-invasive ways to hide the jowls, such as using fillers to camouflage the jowl. Kybella, or PCDC, which decrease the size of fat cells, can also be used to decrease the size of the jowls. Please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon! Good luck to you.
