What can be done about jowls in a 34 year old? (photos)

dear Patient: thanks for your question and your photos!  After 18 years performing Plastic Surgery and particularly Facial Plastic Surgery, there are two ways you can proceed to achieve your desired results.  You can start with Fillers, injecting Voluma (which is a more cohesive hyaluronic acid) for the cheeckbone area, this will help with improving your sagging in jowels. You could also try Kybella injections in your neck area, they are supposed to dissolve the fat in that area.If you want a more drastic change, You could have liposuction in your neck area, Buccal fat removal Fat Transfer to your cheeckbone and  a chin implant to balance your face and create a natural looking result.I would suggest you always consult with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, and start with a non- surgical approach first.  I always advice my young patients to try out the fillers first, and if the outcome is not as they expect thy then can have more invasive surgery.  It is very important for you to let your surgeon know what are your exact expectations so the surgeon can match them with a possible outcome that is realistic.Hope this helps!!!!

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

you are a great candidate for fillers. You can camouflage the Joel's by injecting in the front snd behind it to make it smooth. You csn Aldo augment the chin and the depressed cheeks for a mor balanced and youthful look. The other option is Ulthera pt or fractionated erbium to tighten the jowls. Thanks
