A 40-year old female, concerned about the appearance of developing jowls and significant volume loss in cheeks. What is my best course of action? I haven't experienced recent weight loss, but never had defined cheekbones. Would my appearance be possible to improve without implants (e.g. chin, cheeks), and without surgery? Any other procedures you'd recommend?

Answer: Jowling in a 4o year old Thank you for the question. This has been a question that is very common. The early signs of aging but not quit ready for the facelift. Until recently we recommended fillers and/or the lower facelift. However you would be an excellent candidate for a newer treatment: Embrace RF, which uses bipolar radio-frequency both under the skin an on the surface. It is a combination a Facetite and a Morphious8 procedure.This will tighten the face and neck, significantly improving the jowls and jawline. It would benefit you to speak to a facial plastic surgeon with this capability. Review the web link below for information.

Answer: Cheek enhancement Fillers are an option. They are typically considered "minimally invasive" as no true incision is required. Be cautious not to overfill your cheekbone region. Too many injectors are overfilling in my opinion... and patients just look distorted. Share your concerns with a plastic surgeon and after a full and careful consultation you may find the filler option desirable.
