Jowling refers to the sagging or drooping of skin along the jawline. Our treatments involve a combination of non-surgical and surgical approaches depending on the severity of the condition and individual preferences.
Common causes of Jowling
Jowling is a common sign of aging, but it can be influenced by several factors.
Aging: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity, decreases. This leads to skin sagging.
Sun Damage: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to premature aging and jowling.
Fat Redistribution: Over time, fat pads in the face, particularly in the cheeks, begin to shift downward due to gravity. This loss of facial volume can lead to sagging in the lower face, contributing to jowls.
Muscle Atrophy: With aging, facial muscles weaken and lose volume, reducing the support they provide to the skin, which can enhance the appearance of jowls.
Smoking accelerates the aging process by damaging collagen and elastin, which leads to premature sagging of the skin, including around the jawline.
