Will Putting Filler in my Cheeks Tighten my Jawline?

For people who are either too young or not ready for surgical correction of jowls (Facelift or liposuction or both), using fillers and Botox can soften the appearance of this area. Fillers in the cheeks doesn't literally lift jowls but by filling hollow cheeks jowls blend in more with the face. Filler can also be used in the pre-jowl area we call Marionette lines. Botox can help as well by relaxing the muscles that pull on the corners of the mouth called the DAO (depressor anguli oris) and upper neck muscle called the platysma. Nothing beats surgery but there are a number of ways to put off surgery for years.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi there, 
Hyaluronic acid based dermal filler is very effective at helping provide lift providing the appropriate injection technique and area. 
Indirectly the jowel can be softened and jawline improved - in particular as you describe cheek hollow - with dermal fillers to re-volumise the and provide subtle lift to the cheeks directly and region just be this in which I use a microcannular. 
Hope this helps!
Best wishes,

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.If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives.

Over time, we lose bone and fat, which equals hollows and volume loss in the face.  Filler are a great way to replace volume and rejuvenate folds.  Injecting the cheeks can help restore youthful cheekbones and improves nasolabial folds.  For the jowls, filler can be placed along the jawline, in the marionette lines, and lower face.  Often, a combination of fillers can be used for natural, soft results.  As always, filler injections should be performed by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with cosmetic experience.

Volume enhancement of one area to lift another is the current state of the art in facial volume replacemnt, or so to speak, a liquid facelift. Placing filler in the upper and mid cheek would provide some lift in the lower face, but filler placed in the so called "marionette" area and in the chin will create a forward projecting lift in the same manner and would enhance the outcome.
