I am 40 and am unhappy with jowls/chin/neckline. I notice the tip of my nose has widened too. My question is this: Should I use fillers such as Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse or a mini facelift for the jowls and should I use an implant or fillers for the chin? I actually don't mind paying for the fillers again in two years to keep my chin. I'd appreciate any input on how to give my face a more youthful look.

Answer: I Would Suggest a Liquid Necklift
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.

Answer: MiniFacelift or Fillers?
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.
