Symptoms

As we age, it is natural for facial sagging to occur around the chin and jawline. Jowls give the appearance that the normal jawline position has dropped and definition of the face is lost. It is not necessarily a sign of being overweight and does not indicate underlying health problems. A number of other factors can contribute to having jowls. Both sun-damage and smoking can accelerate the ageing process, resulting in a loss of the skin’s elasticity and collagen.

  • The appearance of jowls can be naturally helped by taking these small preventive measures:
  • Protect your skin against damage from the sun by applying an SPF daily
  • Don’t smoke
  • Use anti-ageing skincare products which include clinically proven peptides to stimulate the natural collagen production within the skin, improving firmness and reducing lines and wrinkles
  • Adopt a healthy lifestyle and a well-balanced diet
  • Seek advice from a dermatologist about professional skin treatments designed to target jowls.

Treatments

We offer a wide range of jowls treatments at Cheek Medispa. To determine the correct treatment for you, we would recommend a free consultation to discuss and evaluate your concerns and also the results you want to achieve. Two of our most popular treatments are dermal fillers and HIFU.

Dermal fillers involve injecting a medically developed solution under the skin with a fine needle to enhance facial features and plump and fill sagging areas of skin. Administered by our Doctor, they can subtly smooth, contour the jowls, defining your natural features.

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) works by eliminating dying collagen and Elastin fibres and stimulating new growth. This Non Surgical procedure can be achieved over the course of three treatments over a period of 9 months. The results are fuller, plumper more defined muscles to the face which can give the appearance of a “Non Surgical” Facelift with long term results.

FAQs

Can you have surgery for jowls?

It is possible for some people to have the fat removed from their chin and jawline surgically through a type of liposuction procedure. This is an invasive treatment and carries the risk of nerve damage and scarring. It is also possible to reduce the appearance of jowls with a surgical neck lift or face lift. Again, this is an invasive procedure with considerable risks and downtime. A cosmetic surgeon will be able to tell you whether surgery is a viable option for your particular case.
