I have a slight double chin and obvious jowls. The jowl on my left is visibly larger than on my right. Oddly, I'm quite thin and have been so all my life, but my cheeks have always been puffy and my nasolabial folds are deep (bad genes?). When I lay down on my back (second photo), the jowls totally disappear. Does that mean this isn't sagging muscles, but fat deposits? I don't want to admit that I need a face lift already at 32, so any/all options to get rid of puffy cheeks & jowls are welcome.
Answer: Best Options for Jowl Reduction for a 32 Yr Old Female A person’s age is best guessed by the appearance of their face. If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel inside, you may be a candidate for a facelift. During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect. Patients who desire facial rejuvenation that is affordable, quick, and effective should consider the Lite-lift™. Like the Life-Style™ facelift, this is a modified facelift that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are non-smoking patients 35-60 years old with early changes of the lower face and the neck. But whose skin has elasticity with well defined bone structure. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or general anesthetic may also be a candidate for a Lite Lift™.If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives.

Answer: Non-Surgical Face Lift / Skin Resurfacing with Renuvion/J-Plasma -- add Lasers, Microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy, FaceTite In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Jowl Reduction for 32 Year Old Thank you for your question and pictures. This can be a common problem caused by volume loss. This can occur at the sides of the chin 'prejowl' area. Fillers are minimally invasive way to restore the volume. You can achieve really good results with filler. You can have an 8 point facelift which helps restore facial volume in 8 strategic areas, giving a maximal lift and support fillers, Hyaluronic Acid (HA), to achieve natural results.The results are immediate, with minimal discomfort or downtime and is a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation, shaping and lifting. This would be a good temporary solution until you need a facelift. The fillers will last about 18 months. All The Best

Answer: Re: Jowl Reduction and the Use of Radiesse for Non-Invasive Procedure
If you are concerned with the early onset of jowls, one way to address it would be through the use of Radiesse, particularly if you are averse to any type of invasive procedure.
Radiesse works a little different from your average dermal filler since it can actually refine the contours of your face by creating a layer that can be shaped beneath the skin.
This layer is made of microspheres that are calcium based. Therefore the injection solution uses components that naturally occur in your body.
A good way to learn more is by seeing the experiences of actual patients. Here is a video that might interest you.
