The nonsurgical rejuvenation and beautification of the lower third of the face is becoming more frequent. Injectable fillers can reshape the jawline, lift soft tissues, and improve facial proportions, effectively improving the appearance of the area.
Popular Juvéderm® injection sites in the lower face include marionette lines, lips, cheeks, and jowls.
As a lower face filler, Sculptra® can be used to address areas prone to facial volume loss, including the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin.
One of the best fillers for treating jowls is Sculptra, since it instantly plumps the area where it is injected while simultaneously stimulating new collagen growth to provide a longer-term youthful appearing result.
Fillers are not permanent. How long they last depends on things like the type of filler and where it's injected. They usually last between 6 and 18 months. Most dermal fillers used in the UK contain a natural substance called hyaluronic acid.
Using non-invasive techniques, such as Ultherapy and Thermage, patients can stimulate collagen to offer a subtle lift to the skin of the lower face and at the same time preventing more sagging from occurring in the future. Very commonly we use dermal fillers to restore the youthful contours of the face.
Placing filler along the jawline or adding filler in your cheeks can lift your jowls, give your skin a boost, and smooth fine lines around your face. As the filler restores volume into the midface area, the skin will lift from your lower face to give you a more prominent and symmetrical jawline.
Dermal fillers are applied to the marionette lines and the corners of the mouth. This hides the shadow between the 2 areas creating a flatter shape. This smoothens out the marionette lines and reduces the appearance of the jowls.
Dermal fillers may be a good choice for restoring the look of youth to your under-eye area. Your doctor can put them in the area under your eyes to smooth out the hollow spaces and make them look plumper and less shadowed.
Facial fillers are a top treatment choice for eliminating jowls as they can be used to rebuild the structure of the face whilst rebooting the skin's natural supply of hyaluronic acid and smoothing the jawline.
Fillers and Skin Tightening Treatments for Moderate Jowls
Expect to need approximately 4-8 syringes which are best done slowly and gradually over 2-4 appointments over 2-9 months. This is the base. Maintenance should be discussed with you (for most people is 1-2 times a year).
Whilst some treatment centres do use Botox for jowls, we use a combination of Dermal filler into your cheek area to lift the face and directly into the jowl to help even out your jawline.
For a more efficient and proven way to tighten jowls and neck without surgery, there are several noninvasive cosmetic treatments available. Some of these treatments include injectable fillers, botox, Kybella, and radiotherapy.
The best strategy to keep jowls from sagging is to keep up with fillers and tightening problems as you age. Ultherapy keeps the skin tight, and adding volume gradually is more affordable than one major attempt.
Jawline Contouring
Most patients will need 2-4 syringes to achieve a sharp, defined look. Those looking for a softer result may be able to achieve it with less.
Sagging skin in the lower face—or jowls—and thin, wrinkled skin on the neck are the two most dramatic signs of aging and are a natural part of the aging process. As the skin ages, the deeper layers lose fat and important structural proteins such as elastin and collagen also start to decline.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
Fillers eliminate the need for risky cosmetic surgery and is priced at a fraction of the cost. Dermal fillers treat wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin anywhere on the face. Treating sagging skin in the lower face is often approached by treating the upper face first.
There is a very common misconception that dermal fillers can make skin sag, however we can safely say that this is FALSE. People assume that once they have been fully absorbed by your body you will be left with loose, hanging skin leaving you looking even older than you did previously.
jowl lift is a minimally invasive procedure to add a lifted appearance to the lower face and cheeks, contour the jawline, smooth neck folds, and reduce marionette lines.* Technique Benefits. jowl lift uses internal ultrasound to tighten skin for precise fat removal with no cutting required.

Relaxation of depressor muscles in the lower face with botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) can create a lifting effect and dramatically improve jawline contour and resting facial expression.
That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
