Face Condition
Formation of jowls around the lower face make us look much older than we feel.
It is due to a combination of factors including laxity of the supporting ligaments around the mid-to lower face and skin laxity and loss of connective tissue.
This makes some of the fat compartments and soft tissue slide forwards producing a heavy look with squaring of the face and the formation of a fold in the lower face (the pre-jowl sulcus).
Treatment of jowls is with several different methods.
Dermal fillers are helpful to provide enhanced definition to the jawline and fill in the pre-jowl sulcus, giving a smooth contoured jawline. Using techniques learned from the top injectors in North America, Dr Thomas utilises a technique to support the soft tissues along the jawline and give a lifted appearance. For patients with heavier jowls, dermal fillers alone may not be sufficient and in that case, radiofrequency treatment is necessary to tighten the skin and soft tissues (we are introducing this treatment in 2022).
