I've done so much filler to help "lift" but still have my jowls. What can work?
Answer: Kybella for Jowls Kybella can certainly be used off-label for jowl fat. I would suggest a series of conservative treatments of Kybella and you may also benefit from skin tightening treatments such as Forma. I strongly suggest seeking consultation with a skilled Facial Plastics surgeon who has thorough understanding of the face and neck anatomy.Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Jowls Jowls like those pictured can be helped with filler injections, cheek and neck lift surgery (even a mini lift can be very effective), and even pre-jowl chin augmentation or laser resurfacing when combined with a lift procedure. Kybella is not safely injected into the jowls due to the risk of nerve injury. I perform many filler injections in patients to combat the signs of aging, but most patients reach a point where non-surgical techniques simply aren't enough to achieve the results they are looking for.Be sure to see an expert who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures who can review all of the surgical and non-surgical options with you in detail.Best,

Answer: Improving Jowls - Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, RF like VIVA, Peels, Fillers, Skin Care, Face Lift, Fat A combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the jowls themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert.

Answer: Chin Augmentation Thank you for your question and photo. Kybella is the world’s first FDA approved PERMANENT fat destruction injectable. I like to call it surgery in a syringe. Off label, Kybella can be used by advanced injectors to destroy fat that is forming jowls. I am unable to fully assess your needs because you only have one photo which cuts off your midface as well as your lower face contour. It may be that filler injection in your midface will lift your lower face. It may also be that Kybella in the jowls will melt the fat and contour your jaw. Hard to tell… I recommend you start with a consultation to discuss your needs with an experienced injector. Further more, because your skin scaring will benefit from a resurfacing procedure like CO2 laser resurfacing or Vivace Microneedling Radiofrequency, I should mention that these modalities will also tighten your skin and resolve the sagging in the lower face.
