Im very concerned about my jowls and smile lines. I'm 37 and otherwise have no fine lines around my eyes just this early jowling and the deep smile lines and scowl lines on my forehead. I am at least 3 hours drive from any doctor to give a reputable response and would love to get your opinions.

Answer: Delay a facelift with fillers at 37 Your pictures show that you have lost a considerable amount of volume, perhaps through weight loss, or as sometimes occurs naturally as we all age. At age 37, you can reverse these lines by using carefully placed fillers. Fillers will help smile lines and can conceal early signs of jowling. You may wish to consider Juvederm, a filler that is regularly used for cheek volumisation which has a positive effect on the smile lines and jowls. I've seen my best filler results with young patients who have not yet developed deep set lines and wrinkles. You should be able to postpone a facelift for several more years with properly injected fillers.

Answer: Facelift or fillers at 37? 37 yo- is somewhat early for a facelift. However, I have had more long lasting results when the facelift is done early. The foundation for facial anti aging treatments is the tightening of the tissues. Once this is achieved - the non surgical treatments have a more beneficial result. So, in short i would do the far and neck now-- and pursue the non surgical treatments after 6-9 months.

Answer: Facelift or fillers at 37 We do not, unfortunately, all age at the same timeline. Genetics plays a role as does weight swings, sunshine, smoking and other factors. Although face lifting may be the most effective treatment for facial jowls, it is obviously more involved. If one is younger, sometimes fillers can do the trick camouflaging some of the earlier signs of aging. They are particularly effective along the nasolabial fold lines, the circles under the eyes and sometimes can camouflage the facial jowls if filler is placed just in front of them. Your surgeon will be able to advise you and discuss with you the expected outcome.
