Jowls
The jawline, chin, and neck play an extremely important role in the proportions of the face. When excess fat is present in the neck, jowls, or chin region, the natural contours of the jawline are lost which can result in an aging appearance on the face.
What are Jowls?
As people get older, their jawline tends to soften as skin loses its elasticity. The decrease in collagen and elasticity can lead to sagging and droopiness. When the skin forms saggy pouches on the face in the lower cheek and jaw or under the chin or neck area, it is known as jowls.
Why does this happen?
The major contributing factor as to why we have jowls is aging. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin which keeps our skin taut and firm even after being stretched. As we lose these proteins, our skin starts to give in to the gravitational pull causing sagging pouches of flesh in our jawline.
Additional factors include sun damage, genetics, weight loss, smoking, and using your phone or computer for an extended amount of time.
Treatment
Dermal fillers are a widely popular, non-invasive way of treating jowls and defining the jawline. A multitude of injectable fillers may be used to recreate a smooth, defined silhouette. Treating the angle of the jawline helps to lift the jowls in many patients. It involves injecting dermal fillers in the affected area to plump the skin and redefine the jawline.
Procedure
After careful evaluation, dermal filler is injected in a painless procedure. Duration will depend on how much filler is needed in the areas of concern
Results
Results are instantly visible and last anywhere from 3-6 months
Down Time
There is generally no downtime with this procedure
The neck and submental area (area underneath the chin) are an under-appreciated area of rejuvenation. Treatment of this area is as important to the upper face in formulating an effective treatment plan. Chin enhancement may be combined with rejuvenation of the neck region to enhance the jawline and increase chin projection, important changes that markedly increase the perceived attractiveness of our profile.
