I'm 40 and in the last year or two I've developed these annoying jowls. Excuse the no-makeup close ups, but what would be the best way to tackle them? I've tried a little cheek filler & even PDO dissolving threads (not barbed ones, ones injected in with needles), but neither have helped the jowls. Someone suggested kybella into jowls, but is it the best option for me? Better than Ultherapy, HIFU, Thermage, skin needling, filler in pre-jowl etc? Also, should I get buccal fat removed?

Answer: Kybella Treatment Thank you so much for your question regarding Kybella. Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring enzyme. Kybella is FDA approved to treat submental fullness, double chin. In order to achieve the best results, we recommend treating according to Kybella template/ guidelines. If you do not treat properly you run the risk of uneven results. If you are worried about the swelling, I recommend receiving treatments in the winter or when you have several days off in a row. Of course I am not able to tell without an in person consultation if this is in fact the best treatment for you. Your pictures make it appear that Kybella would be a reasonable option, but I recommend an in person consultation. I recommend scheduling an in person consultation with a board certified provider for a proper evaluation. Best of luck!

Answer: Annoying jowls the jowl fat expands. the prejowl thins. what makes the most sense is to remove fat and bolster the prejowl. You have had a number of treatments that didn't work and your list contains more treatments that won't work, The internet is a great marketing tool but not always a great way to discover truth. If you take out buccal fat at 40 you may really wish you still had it at 50.
