Jowls
The appearance of “Jowls” is a frequent complaint of many of our patients. The jowls are caused by a loss of volume, gravity and the skin not having the volume to “hold it up”.
Treatments
Facial Fillers
If you are not ready for a surgical lift, adding volume to the mid face or at a certain point in the jawline can lift the skin and camouflage the jowls to some extent. Voluma and Restylane Lyft are great volumizing fillers for this problem. It is reasonable to expect that filling and correcting jowls will require a 1-3 syringes of filler. It is evidenced in filler research that the initial treatment with any filler will require the most amount of filler and subsequent visits will not require as much for maintaining volume.
We also recommend Botox injections directly into the jowl areas. Botox helps pull back the muscles in this area and thereby reduces the appearance of the jowl.
