Introduction
At Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic, we understand the desire for a well-defined and youthful profile. Achieving that perfect side profile extends beyond the harmonious features of the nose, chin, and forehead. A clear and well-defined jawline plays a pivotal role in enhancing your overall appearance, making you look more youthful and radiant. Conversely, the lack of definition in the jawline, often leading to sagging jowls, can give the impression of loose, aging skin.
Recognizing Sagging Jowls
Sagging jowls can manifest as various symptoms, including the appearance of a double chin, a blending of facial and neck contours, an unclear distinction between the two, and the broadening of the jawline. While these changes are typically associated with aging, they can also affect individuals in their 20s. Regardless of age, Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic is equipped to address these concerns.
Causes of Sagging Jowls
Several factors can lead to an undefined jawline, with influences ranging from bone structure and lip tissues to perioral muscles:
-
Underdeveloped Jawbone: Congenital underdevelopment of the jawbone can contribute to a lack of jawline definition. When the jawbone lacks development, the overlying fat and skin tissues lack the necessary support, resulting in a less defined jawline.
-
Chin Retraction: A receding chin can also play a role in an unclear jawline. A chin that recedes too much causes the skin on the front of the face to lack support, leading to the merging of the chin and neck skin.
-
Skin Aging: As individuals age, the sagging of jowls is primarily due to skin aging. This extends beyond the epidermis to the subcutaneous and connective tissues, resulting in reduced collagen levels. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and supporting connective tissues. A decline in collagen leads to sagging skin and the development of a double chin. The tension of the platysma muscle, which controls head movement, is also a contributing factor
-
UV Damage: Exposure to UVA rays can accelerate skin aging, leading to sagging and an undefined jawline.
-
Obesity: Excess fat accumulation in the face can obscure a well-defined jawline, particularly when combined with skin laxity.
Treatments
Soft Thread Lift: PDO Treatment
Our PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that can restore definition to a sagging jawline. Absorbable PDO threads are strategically inserted into the neck's fascial layer, instantly lifting sagging skin, and repositioning subcutaneous tissues. The treatment's effects are immediate, enhancing your facial contour and defining the jawline. Over time, the PDO threads are metabolized, encouraging collagen production and skin elasticity.
Dermal Filler: Hyaluronic Acid Injections
For those with underdeveloped jawlines or age-related volume loss, we offer hyaluronic acid injections. These injections restore volume to subcutaneous tissues along the jawline, providing a clear and well-defined contour.
Fat Dissolving Injections
Localized fat deposits leading to sagging jowls can be treated with fat-dissolving injections. These injections contain deoxycholic acid, which liquefies fat cells and promotes their natural elimination from the body. This approach results in a more defined jawline and improved facial contours.
