Dermal fillers can be used to restore mid-face (cheek) volume and sculpt the jawline, in order to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. The procedure is not painful, does not require any significant down-time and is excellent at lifting and sculpting the skin, where volume needs to be replaced.
When the dermal filler is used as a jowl filler, it is injected along the jawline in the pre-jowl sulcus and the marionette lines to regain jawline definition. Treatment of jowls with jawline fillers often involves treating the chin area.
By adding volume to the cheek area and contouring the shape of your cheek, you can visibly lift your cheekbones and the lower face while filling out fine lines and wrinkles in the process.
One of the best fillers for treating jowls is Sculptra, since it instantly plumps the area where it is injected while simultaneously stimulating new collagen growth to provide a longer-term youthful appearing result.
Answer: Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers on the cheeks using Voluma or Radiesse help replace volume loss and can lift the corners of the mouth to some degree. Depending on the severity, one may still need to get some fillers like Restylane or Juvederm to camouflage or improve the look of the marionette lines.
Cheek filler
They are ideal for replacing volume loss, enhancing cheek volume, and can improve the appearance of the lower eyelid by volumising the upper cheek area. We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
Cheek fillers, also known as cheek augmentation treatment, provide volume to and around your cheekbones. Dermal fillers are used to create that instant 'plumping' effect, restoring and boosting the volume of the cheeks and give definition to the natural cheekbone structure, recreating the youthful contours of the face.
Fillers are most often the first step toward reducing nasolabial folds. Dermatologists and other aesthetic professionals inject fillers into the skin around the cheek. This adds volume to the area and lifts the skin.
The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you'll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.
And this lost volume and structure results in sagging skin, or hollow patches developing below the eyes, making you look older than you really are. But cheek fillers replace this lost volume by replacing the hyaluronic acid, and in turn, help to replace volume, leading to a more youthful appearance.
Fillers and Skin Tightening Treatments for Moderate Jowls
Expect to need approximately 4-8 syringes which are best done slowly and gradually over 2-4 appointments over 2-9 months. This is the base. Maintenance should be discussed with you (for most people is 1-2 times a year).
That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
Facial fillers are very effective at dealing with deep wrinkles such as marionette lines. They gently plump out the wrinkles, resulting in a smoother appearance. Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to your cheeks, replacing the diminishing fat pads in that area.
fillers can make the face puffy but they cannot enlarge the nose unless they were injected there.
Filler migration is the movement of a dermal filler from its injection site to another area of the body. While it is possible for fillers to migrate, this side effect is extremely rare and can be avoided by choosing a qualified injector.
As we age gravity pulls on our lower face, leading to sagging jowls, decreased elasticity and hanging skin of the chin, neck and lower face. Injecting Botox® in this area can provide a subtle lift, helping you look younger and refreshed.
While the aging process can't be reversed, you can dramatically reduce jowls with the following procedures: Facelift (surgical) Neck lift (surgical) Laser resurfacing using needles to reach treatment areas (minimally-invasive procedure with five to seven days of downtime)
So it seems like an impossible task to consider reducing the jawline with dermal fillers. But actually by replacing lost volume in other parts of the face, and by using filler to exaggerate different points of the jawline, we can contour the jawline helping to create a slimmer overall visual effect.
In general, the amount of filler you will need for your treatment will depend on the severity of skin laxity in your cheeks and your aesthetic goals. Voluma syringes are typically one cc and many patients need between two and four syringes to complete the treatment, which can be one to two syringes per cheek.
While dermal fillers, like Radiesse®, Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®, provide noticeable outcomes, results are temporary. This is because our bodies metabolize these products slowly over time. Most dermal fillers need to be readministered every 3 – 6 months with some lasting up to a year or longer.
