Reclaim Your Jawline Elegance: Effective Approaches to Combat Jowls

As the hands of time progress, the loss of distinctiveness in our jawlines and the emergence of jowls become noticeable companions. Embracing the natural course of ageing entails confronting the decline of crucial elements like collagen and elastin, which contribute to the finely sculpted appearance of our faces. The decrease in fat within areas such as the cheeks and temples also plays a pivotal role, leading to the loss of structure within the chin and neck zones. Furthermore, the diminished resilience of the skin and its heightened susceptibility to the gravitational pull, owing to increased dryness and thinness, also leads to sagging skin around the jawline. This cumulative effect gives rise to what is commonly referred to as jowls, imparting an ageing aspect to our overall facial aesthetic. Fortunately, our doctors at My Cosmetic Doctor clinic, nestled in the heart of Harborne, offers tailored advice to address the specific concern of sagging jowls.

Strategies to Combat Jowls

In the realm of jowl alleviation, we advocate for injectable solutions like dermal fillers, which surface as a paramount choice. These fillers excel at rejuvenating facial volume, orchestrating a revival that counters the sagging brought about by jowls. 

Transforming Jowls with Dermal Fillers: A Specialised Expertise

These fillers are not solely dedicated to restoring volume but also can recontour sagging jawlines and chins, revealing a refined and revitalised appearance. The magic lies in rejuvenating the skin's supply of hyaluronic acid, a pivotal element responsible for moisture retention and nourishment of skin cells. As the years unfold, this wondrous substance wanes. However, through strategic reintroduction of hyaluronic acid into targeted regions such as the “pre-jowl sulcus”, the void is impeccably refilled. The outcome is skin that appears remarkably refreshed and rejuvenated, effectively turning back the hands of time.

Elevating Results with a Combination Approach

At My Cosmetic Doctor, we understand that maximising outcomes is a goal for many individuals seeking jowl reduction. For this reason, we recommend a combination approach. Pairing anti-wrinkle injections to relax neck muscles which create a downward pull to the lower face, with dermal fillers to restore plumpness and contours, yields a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Patients are often surprised at the impressive results achieved with this combination approach without the need for surgery or major downtime. 

Dr Kaur says

“Jowls and loss of jaw line are such a common complaint we deal with. Most of our patients over the age of 50 (some even earlier) will be bothered by this area of their face. Using dermal fillers can give really impressive but natural results. The key is in choosing the right type of filler which is thick enough to mould and contour this area but not too tough if the skin is a bit too saggy, which maybe the case for some patients I see who have significant sun damage for example. I also use a mix of cannula and needle technique to place the filler in the correct plane to achieve the desired look. A full face assessment is key as, along with jowls, there is often a loss of the volume in the mid face and appearance of deep smiles lines. This is why I always like to start with a 30 minute consultation first to treatment plan with my patients, followed by a stepwise approach in treating the face. I don’t like to inject lots of filler in one session especially if its a new patient who has never had dermal filler treatment before. We like to ease our patients in slowly. Some may start with anti-wrinkle treatment or profhilo as bridging treatments before they feel ready for dermal filler. I think these two treatments are also a great option for those in their 30s or 40s who are only just starting to see the signs of some heaviness or sagging skin in the lower face and want to consider potential preventative options”.
