Sagging Jowls Treatment

The lower cheeks are a common area for sagging skin and tissue. Jowls become pronounced as the skin in the lower cheeks and along the jawline lose elasticity. Sagging jowls obscure the jawline, resulting in a heavier, older appearance. To restore a more youthful appearance, cosmetic treatments can tighten and lift the jowls. Dr. Sedgh Facial Plastic Surgery offers sagging jowls treatment at our clinic in West Hollywood, CA.

 

What Causes Sagging Jowls?

Sagging jowls occur as a natural part of aging due to the loss of skin elasticity, collagen, and fat volume in the lower face. Factors such as gravity, sun damage, and lifestyle habits can accelerate this process, resulting in a less defined jawline. Sagging jowls often accompany loose skin on the neck, creating a “turkey neck” appearance.

At Sedgh Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient’s facial structure and aesthetic goals are unique. That’s why Dr. Sedgh provides a range of surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the jowls and neck area.

Sagging jowls are one of the tell-tale signs of aging. The heaviness of the cheeks is pulled down by gravity as the skin loses its firmness. Procedures like facelift surgery are designed to tighten and lift sagging jowls, but not everyone needs a surgical procedure. There are skin tightening treatments that are non-surgical and less invasive that can lift the cheeks and define the jawline to achieve a more youthful facial appearance.

Jawline and Cheek Skin Tightening

Skin tightening treatments are very effective for firming sagging jowls. The treatment uses thermal energy that is directed deeply into the skin to stimulate collagen production. The heat triggers a healing response and increased levels of collagen, which firms and tightens the skin. Over the weeks following treatments, the jowls are less apparent, and the jawline has improved definition. Patients can look years younger without undergoing plastic surgery, slowing the aging process.

Non-Surgical Neck Lift

Sagging skin on the neck often accompanies jowls, creating an unflattering “turkey neck” appearance. A non-surgical neck lift uses similar skin-tightening technology to firm and lift the neck skin, creating a more youthful contour without surgery.

Ideal Candidates for Non-Surgical Treatments:

  • Patients in their late 30s, 40s, or early 50s who are noticing early signs of sagging.
  • Those seeking a rejuvenated appearance without undergoing surgery.
  • Patients looking to treat both the jowls and neck for comprehensive results.

Jawline and Cheek Skin Tightening

For patients who want a non-invasive solution for sagging jowls, we offer advanced skin-tightening treatments. These procedures use thermal energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. The heat promotes a healing response, resulting in firmer, tighter skin over the weeks following treatment.

  • Natural Results: Skin tightens gradually, giving you a refreshed, youthful appearance.
  • Collagen Boost: Promotes long-term skin elasticity and slows the aging process.
