Like the rest of the body, the face tends to drop with age. The face is deflated with loss of fat as we get older, and loss of collagen contributes to sagging. The skin and fat pads of the midface end up under the jawline, resulting in a jowl. Liposuction alone will help with excess fat, but make excess skin look worse. There are some tricks to minimize the appearance of the jowl. Fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, can be injected in front of the jowl in a natural hollow (pre-jowl sulcus) to even out the jawline. Miminally invasive surgical options are sometimes helpful. A chin implant in someone with a small chin can pull on skin and smooth out the jowl. However, until a Spanx is invented for the face, a lift is still the best option to deal with the problem. Because there is extra skin and fat, a small amount of liposuction combined with a lift to take care of extra skin will give the most impressive results overall, and “last” around 10 years. A mini-lift is perfect for someone not quite ready for a full face and necklift, and improves the cheek, jawline and neck. Risks and downtime and minimized as well.
