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

Thank you for your question.  My approach to early jowl formation is to do a mini facelift.

Dermal fillers can be injected into the area in front of the jowl and can improve it temporarily.  However dermal filler injection into the pre-jowl sulcus is prone to form lumps and almost always causes bruising because of the presence of the anterior facial artery and vein in this region. In addition the constant motion of the mouth and the muscles around the mouth can cause early dissolution of the filler and recurrence of the jowl.
