I’m not sure if I have jowls or just a weird jawline? (Photo)

Question

I’ve always had a bit of fat under my chin and a weak jawline. But lately I feel like my lower face is saggy, when I smile I have these fat pads and I just feel like my face is too wide. I asked my injector about masseter Botox but she said it would make my jowls worse. I’d just like to know what my options are. I def want to make a change just need to know what direction to go. Thanks for any help.

This is a particular area of focus for my practice. However, we don't have the right photos.  We need side views too.  Biting and not biting as well (from the front).
But, good news, there are ways to help this. We just need to know the right approach first.

It is difficult to give an opinion based on these photos, unfortunately. In-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation would be the best way to find out about your condition and how to improve it. Good luck.

Based on your nicely post of photos, I would request an ultrasound of the area to see if there is a buckle fat deposit which could be superior to the jowls. If there is no major buckle fat deposit, I would recommend an Endo lift laser treatment with a sideburn facelift to correct this issue. Best of virtual concert with fee $10,000-$15,000.
