I've had Restylane in my nasolabials, and my MD is suggesting more filler to plump out my jowls. I fear looking like a chipmunk. Are lasers effective at tightening up this region?
Answer: Lasers for jowl tightening Lasers are a big part of our practice. They are wonderful in the right areas. They tighten slightly. They do not, unfortunately, change the deep architecture of the facial tissues and redistribute the jowl tissue upward the way a skillfully performed facelift can.

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fixing jowls Hello,You do not have full trust in the recommendation of your doctor, so it is time for you to get examined by a new one. I suggest that you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon or two for help. Laser is not going to solve the problem that you described and self-research on your part would have educated you. Make sure that you embark on self-education so that you can ask good questions on your consultations and this will help you to determine what treatments will bring the results that you desire.

Answer: Conservative Fillers or Lift will address jowls Lasers and other laser-like devices (Thermage, etc.) will likely disappoint you if you are looking for improvements in your jowl region. Injectable fillers can help to soften the transition from jowl to chin, where you have a subtle break. Your concern about looking too puffy is understandable. We usually don't try to achieve a 100% correction and often stage the treatment into 2 spaced 4 weeks apart.

Answer: Tighten Up my Jowls Yes, there are lasers to tighten the skin but are not the most effective treatment for your concern. There are also other treatments that you can combine with lasers for better results; one of them is Ultherapy, a non-invasive treatment that will increase collagen production and cause skin tightening while giving you a natural look and will improving your jowls; you will see partial results immediately, but the final look will achieve some months later. You can also continue using the hyaluronic acid fillers to improve these areas as long overcorrections are not made.
