Mini Facelift or Fillers for Chin and Jowl? (photo)

  I agree that despite your providing adequate photographs, nothing takes the place of a face to face interview and examination.  Particularly, I would like to listen to your goals and your expectations for this treatment.  Either approach is fine, but I think you'd be happier with a mini facelift than with the fillers and "liquid facelift" that others have suggested.  Take a look at what wonderful results an S Lift can offer.  Good luck.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​ Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

A great little mini facelift under tumescent local would tighten up the jawline and jowls so easy and affordable for roughly $6000 with about 1 wk downtime. Sincerely,

You have early aging changes in your chin and neckline.  If a patient can get a great result using non-invasive techniques, I recommend them.  In plastic surgery, you can either correct the underling problem or hide them.  In your situation, fillers in front of your jowl, will hide the jowl and create a long, interrupted, and feminine jawline.  I prefer to use Prelane in this area.  Please see the pictures attached below, as this patient had a similar neckline as you.  

The posted pictures show very mild jowling without evidence of significant aging changes in the neck.  In circumstances such as these, I would be more inclined to offer fillers as a method adding volume the pre-jowl area (Radiesse is my preferred filler in this area).  If and when you are ready for a facelift, a chin implant with pre-jowl extension will augment your result.
