What can I do to help with lower face/jowls? (Photo)

Question

I have been having issues with my lower face for some time now but am not entirely sure what to ask for when I go to consultations. For the record, I have had nothing done to my face, and would like to lose about 20-25 pounds to help with my lower face (that should help the extra fat I have accumulated on my jawline). Besides weigh loss, what procedures would you recommend for my jowls and overall lower face that can help create a more v shaped face and also make my jowls less noticeable?

Hello!
This is a common concern for many, and luckily we have many treatment options for this! In my practice, I have had great results with RF Microneedling to help tighten the skin and reduce the jowling. Another great option for the chin and neck is to inject with Botox to help reduce the downward pulling of the muscles, and help lift the upper face. Chin filler combined with cheek filler placed strategically can help to give that face shape you are looking for. 
We have many treatment options for your concerns, and a multi-modal effect is what usually yields the best results!

There are a few options to consider to address the lower jawline.  Botox can be used to help soften the appearance of the masseter muscles to give a slimmer jawline appearance.  Fillers can aid in improving contours and softening folds.  FaceTite and/or Morpheus8 are treatments that can help to tighten skin and improve overall skin tone and texture.

Profile views would have been helpful. However, clearly from the frontal view it would appear that the use of a robust HA volumizing filler, in the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injector, would help to straighten and define the jawline and minimize jowl formation. The treatment should take no more than about fifteen minutes or so to perform and the results are typically immediate and engender little to no signficicant downtime. Hope this helps and best of luck.
