Treatments for Jowls in Amersham
Jowls can change the outline of your lower face and make the jawline look heavier or softer. At Skin Techniques in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, we explore options based on the cause, including changes in skin firmness, facial support and muscle pull.
About your concern
Understanding jowls
Jowls are areas of tissue that sit lower along the jawline, interrupting its outline. They can make the lower face look heavier or less defined, even when your weight has not changed.
They often develop through a combination of skin laxity, changes in facial fat and reduced underlying support. Muscle activity can also contribute to downward pull in some people.
The aim is to identify a realistic way to improve the appearance of the lower face, rather than treating every jowl in the same way.
Recommendations
Recommended treatments for jowls
Endopulse
Endopulse may be considered where laxity and changes in lower-face contour contribute to jowling. It uses laser energy beneath the skin as part of a tissue-remodelling approach.
Ponytail Lift
The Ponytail Lift provides support to selected facial tissues using dissolvable cog sutures. It may suit certain patterns of early tissue descent, depending on skin quality and anatomy.
Mid & Lower Face Rejuvenation
Our Mid & Lower Face Rejuvenation filler package considers whether restoring selected areas of support could improve facial balance. Filler does not remove jowls, and adding volume directly to a heavy area is not always appropriate.
Your questions
Jowls FAQs
Can I have jowls without being overweight?
Yes. Jowls can develop because of changes in skin and facial support, regardless of body weight. They are not simply a sign of excess fat.
Will losing weight get rid of jowls?
Not necessarily. If loose skin or reduced support is the main cause, weight loss may not resolve it. Significant weight changes can also affect facial fullness.
Are jowls the same as a double chin?
No. Jowls sit along the sides of the lower face, while a double chin describes fullness beneath the chin. They can occur together but may need different approaches.
Can non-surgical treatments completely remove jowls?
They may improve selected concerns, but they cannot reproduce every change achievable with surgery. The degree of laxity, tissue weight and underlying structure determine what is realistic.
