Hi. I am 40 years old and I am noticing slight jawls on my face. I think it is in the family also as my mother had them since I remember (she is 70 now though). I think it is mild at this point but what can I do to reverse what I have and prevent even more from happening?

Answer: Treatment of Early Jowls Good afternoon and thanks for your question and photograph.Depending on the specifics of your exam and a more detailed understanding of your concerns, it's likely you could benefit from a number of non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures to help maintain a youthful jawline for years to come.Many patients in their forties with your concerns opt to undergo a combination of treatments including skin tightening with radio frequency (Thermage) for the neck and jawline and injectables like Voluma in the area just in front of the jowls.Of course an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so I would recommend to all patients that they not smoke, avoid excessive sun exposure and maintain a healthy diet and weight.A medically supervised skin regimen that includes alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids and growth factors can add to the longevity of the result.Start with a face to face meeting with a certified Plastic Surgeon and the specifics of your treatment plan will become more clear.Best of luck with your research.

Answer: I'm developing slight jowls at 40. Any suggestions? Your degree of face/neck laxity is very minor based on the attached photograph and better recommendations can be presented with more photographs and, of course, through an in-office examination of the area.However, for the beginning stages of facial laxity non-surgical Ultherapy (micro-focused ultrasound) treatments and/or targeted volume augmentation procedures with fat transfer or syringed based fillers (e.g., Voluma, Radiesse, Juvederm) may provide correction of your concerns.The attached link and website provides more information on Ultherapy.I hope this helps.
