About Jowl Lift
As a major contributor to visible aging, the jowls are often the first significant “problem” that we face. Tightening this area will easily make you look both younger and slimmer. If neck skin is loose or redundant, a jowl lift can be added, with or without placation (simple tight fold) of the platysma muscle. This achieves a cohesive, crisp contour from the lower face to the chest.
Dr. Sikorski will make small incisions and mobilize the skin and soft tissues of the lower face and jawline (and in most cases, the neck), advancing them upward and laterally to eliminate sagging (jowls) and provide the appearance of improved skin tone. The excess skin is removed.
The actual removal of jowl fat can be done with liposuction, and this will reduce their size. This can be done alone or in conjunction with a larger-scale procedure, such as a neck lift or a facelift. Liposuction aimed at reducing the fat-causing saggy jowls usually involves a very small incision below the chin. This is a very common area for liposuction and an easy solution to excess fat under the chin and in the jowl.
