I DON’T LIKE MY JOWLS….

It is the curse of the beautiful lady to notice the earliest change in the lower part of the face we call jowls. These early changes change the smooth jawline and add a more masculine look to the face which ages us. The jowl is the earliest sign of aging noticed by ladies, not infrequently in the 30’s. Options include local treatments to some jowls and more global treatment like a facelift and a necklift when a more definitive improvement is sought.

Options for the treatment of jowls include the following:

• Liposuction
• Subcutaneous transdermal radiofrequency
• HIFU (high frequency focused ultrasound)
• Subdermal 1500 nm laser
• Subdermal Plasma Treatment
• Isolated necklift
• Mini facelift
• Facelift and necklift

BEAUTY OF THE FACE IS MAGNIFIED WITH A STRONG JAWLINE AND A SMOOTH, FIRM NECK…

Ladies’ faces look best when there is a strong, smooth jawline, terminating in a proud, if delicate chin. The line from the earlobe to the mentum (chin) should be one sinuous, smooth, firm curve. Even a slight break in this curve detracts from feminine beauty.

Not every early jowl needs a facelift and a necklift. With modern techniques and technologies, there are a number of non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures and techniques that may be used to improve these early jowls. These range from the use of fillers to eradicate or reduce the pre-jowl sulcus (hollow), micro liposuction, local ablative laser application, superficial and deep application of radiofrequency, sometimes with micro-needles, external ultrasound, and a combination of several of these techniques. The gold standard, of course, is a beautifully performed facelift and necklift to give the smooth jawline, tight neck and firm but full cheeks as seen in some of the photographs on this page.

With careful attention to detail, analysis of the exact changes along the jawline and the neck, skin changes from aging, sun damage and genetics, a proper plan can be made to give the best result with the least invasive approach.
