LOSING DEFINITION AROUND OUR JAWLINE IS A COMMON CONCERN AS WE AGE π§π§
FIRST, THE SUPPORTIVE COMPOUNDS THAT KEEP OUR FACES LOOKING SCULPTED, LIKE COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN, BEGIN TO DIMINISH AND THEN OUR FAT PADS β THE PLUMP LITTLE CUSHIONS THAT HELP GIVE OUR FACE ITS SHAPE β THIN OUT AND SLIDE South β¬οΈ.
THE BONES IN OUR FACE THAT FORM THE STRUCTURAL FOUNDATION UPON WHICH MUSCLE, FAT, AND SKIN REST BEGIN TO RECEDE, CONTRIBUTING TO OVERALL LAXITY AND SAG. AND, OVER TIME, THIS MANIFESTS AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR FACE, IN THE FORM OF JOWLS.
Thankfully, there is a lot that we can do to change the appearance of our jaw β discreet yet highly effective tweakments that can be utilised to a significant effect on the area π
One of these is cheek filler β a solution that is surprising to many since the area is seemingly nowhere near the lower face. But the key ποΈ is restoring the natural bone structure of the face. Read on to find out whether itβs the right treatment for you π
WHAT CAUSES JOWLS?π€·
Jowls often develop with age and are caused by three main factors:
πΈloss of facial volume
πΈloosening of the skin and laxity of facial ligaments
These factors result in the skin from the mid-face (cheeks) dropping down and forming nasolabial folds, marionette lines and jowls.
Our skin also tends to become drier and thinner, making it less resilient and more vulnerable to the effects of gravity.
Sagging skin can therefore develop around the chin and jawline, creating a jowl-like appearance that ages our overall look.
With this is mind, the main principles of treating jowls are usually to restore mid-face volume, lift sagging skin and regenerate collagen in the skin.
HOW CAN CHEEK FILLERS HELP?π
Facial fillers are a top treatment choice for eliminating jowls as they can be used to rebuild the structure of the face whilst rebooting the skinβs natural supply of hyaluronic acid and smoothing the jawline π§ββοΈ
When injected in the cheeks, fillers replace lost volume in the area, which, in turn, restores drooping and receding fat pads to their original position. This gives the lower face the support it needs π
