Jowls are areas of looseness or fullness that develop along the lower jawline. Reduced skin firmness and changes in facial fat and support can soften jaw definition.
/ Understanding the condition
Jowls are areas of looseness or fullness that develop along the lower jawline. Reduced skin firmness and changes in facial fat and support can soften jaw definition.
Many visible concerns reflect normal differences in anatomy, skin structure or the way soft tissue is distributed. Genetics often determine how pronounced a feature is and when it becomes noticeable.
Ageing, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, weight change or everyday movement can alter the skin and supporting tissue over time. These changes are rarely caused by one factor alone.
A consultation can help distinguish a cosmetic concern from a condition that may need medical assessment. The most suitable next step depends on the cause, the area involved and the change someone would like to see.
/ Possible surgical solutions
The right procedure depends on the concern itself, the surrounding anatomy and your goals. That decision is made during consultation.
01
A deep plane facelift is an advanced facial plastic surgery technique. It lifts and repositions sagging facial tissues—including the SMAS muscle layer and fat pads—by releasing deep retaining ligaments. Unlike traditional methods that pull directly on the skin, it restores natural contours with less surface tension and longer-lasting results.
02
A neck lift improves laxity beneath the chin and along the neck by addressing skin, platysma muscle and selected fat. It is planned in relation to the jawline and lower face because neck ageing rarely occurs as an isolated two-dimensional problem.
03
A SMAS facelift lifts and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system beneath the skin to improve the lower face and jawline. By treating deeper support rather than pulling on skin alone, it can create a more durable and natural-looking correction of facial laxity.
