How to Treat Jowls Without Overdoing Your Face

What causes sagging jowls, and what can actually help? Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss explains the anatomy behind jowls and the limits of facial massage, at-home microcurrent and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices, Botox, fillers, Sculptra, Ulthera, radiofrequency treatments, threads, and facelifts. Jowls can reflect several age-related changes at once: bone remodeling, shifting facial volume and soft tissue, muscle pull, and skin laxity. Temporary puffiness can make the lower face look heavier; facial massage may briefly change the appearance of puffiness, while any visible benefit from home microcurrent or EMS devices depends on consistent use. In-office treatment depends on anatomy and goals. Shereene also explains why she strongly opposes early buccal fat removal and why choosing the right provider matters.
