What Are Jowls and How Do They Develop?
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and noticed sagging skin around your jawline or neck, those are what’s commonly referred to as jowls. They’re not harmful to your health, but they do tend to make you look older than you might feel. For many women, this can be a point of concern, making it the number-one reason they consider visiting a plastic surgeon. The good news? There are several ways you can address them.
Surgical Solutions for Jowls
One of the most trusted ways to combat jowling is through a facelift or neck lift. These procedures are considered the gold standard when it comes to rejuvenating facial features. While it may sound intimidating, the results look natural and can last a long time. Surgery like this focuses on tightening the underlying structures of the face, giving you a firm, youthful appearance.
Non-Surgical Approaches
If you’d prefer to avoid surgery, don’t worry. There are non-surgical options like Genius™ RF microneedling and Ultherapy® that have shown promising results. RF microneedling uses your skin's natural healing abilities to enhance elasticity and firmness. On the other hand, Ultherapy® uses ultrasound energy to tighten loose skin in key areas, although it may require more than one session to get the look you want.
The Emotional Impact of Treating Jowls
Choosing to address aesthetic concerns like jowls is a personal journey that requires courage and hope. It's essential to understand that these treatments are not just about vanity—they’re about feeling like the best version of yourself. The changes can be transformational not just physically, but emotionally too, lifting a weight off your shoulders every time you look in the mirror. It's about recognizing yourself again.
Real-Life Success Stories
Many readers have shared their triumphs in battling jowls. One patient, Sarah, described her experience with Ultherapy® as life-changing. After just a couple of sessions, she noticed her skin tightening, and she no longer shied away from photos. She felt a boost in confidence she hadn't felt in years. Stories like hers remind us of the life-altering power of these treatments.
