Surgical & non-surgical treatments
The gold standard method of treating jowls is the facelift, like this patient underwent.
What causes jowls?
There are a number of underlying anatomical changes that happen as we get older that lead to the formation of jowls on the lower face: loss of fat in the upper cheeks, accumulation of fat in the lower cheek, and resorption of the jaw and chin bones as well as loss recession of the cheek bones and upper jaw. Consequently, there are several treatment options that can be used to tackle and tighten sagging jowls.
The gold standard way of reducing the appearance of jowls is the surgical facelift. This allows the surgeon to open the face and shift the fat that has accumulated in the lower cheek back up to areas where fat has been lost from. For patients who do not want to have a surgical procedure, there are non-surgical options, the most effective of which is volume restoration with filler injections.
This result was achieved non-surgically with the volumetric facelift.
Non-surgical treatments for jowls
If you want an aesthetic treatment that is minimally invasive and allows you to return to your normal activities almost immediately, a non-surgical jowl lift treatment may be the better option for you.
Non-surgical treatments for jowls using filler injections usually minimal after effects like skin redness or bruising on the face, so most patients can return to work the very next day. Many patients worry about using filler because they don’t want to make their face look fat. The goal is to restore areas of volume loss, back to how they were before the volume was lost, rather than to simply inflate the whole face. This comes down to the technical expertise of the doctor and when done properly creates an effective rejuvenation that looks natural.
McKeown Medical is renowned for the team’s artistry with dermal fillers, a procedure that is carefully tailored to be suitable to your unique facial anatomy.

Volumetric Facelift
The volumetric facelift is a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation that uses dermal fillers to restore volume and give the face a more youthful structure in a way that is understated and undetectable.
Cheek Filler
Cheek filler is a great option for lifting the appearance of the middle section of the face. Restoration of volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face area can help to improve the appearance of the jowls, as well as contributing to a more rested overall appearance.

Chin Filler
As we age, the chin gets smaller. Improving the projection of the chin using dermal fillers can help to improve the appearance of the jowls and jawline.
Wrinkle & Jowl Fillers
Sometimes injecting filler directly in front of the jowl — in an area known as the ‘pre-jowl sulcus’ — can help to camouflage the appearance of the jowl. A good wrinkle filler that is done correctly can last up to 24 months, resulting in smoothed-out skin with less visible wrinkles.
Surgical treatments for jowls
Patients with more severe sagging jowls or those looking for a more permanent solution to sagging skin in this area could benefit from a surgical jowl lift procedure – otherwise known as a facelift – the gold standard method for treating jowls.
Facelift surgery is the classic, definitive treatment for tightening sagging jowls.
This involves repositioning the excess volume from the jowls, as well as removing loose skin from the jawline. A surgical facelift can provide more than just treatment for saggy jowls and is a great option for people wanting the full package of face and neck skin tightening and rejuvenation.

A McKeown Medical patient September 2023
I had face and neck lift surgery with Mr Russell Bramhall. I can honestly say that all aspects of the process were excellent, and I cannot recommend Russell highly enough. It’s now 6 months on, I am absolutely delighted with the results and I cannot thank Russell enough for giving me my confidence back.

Dr. Russell is an amazing surgeon. Underwent upper blepharoplasty and facelift with liposuction under chin. I was pretty nervous before the surgery but needn’t have been as Dr. Russell and his team were so calming and professional. The aftercare provided was amazing. I am delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Russell.

Dr Darren was amazing. Made me so comfortable and so so pleasant. Such a lovely guy! Highly recommend, absolutely delighted so far – although, as advised, a bit swollen! Thank you so much.

From start to finish the team and Dr Darren were so welcoming and professional. Everything was explained clearly and the results are more than I could have hoped for.
A McKeown Medical patient April 2024
My experience with Dr Bramhall was fantastic. Having never been through any procedure like this, I was encouraged by his knowledge, professionalism and realistic approach. My confidence has grown since having my surgery and that, in turn, allows me to be a better version of myself. I am delighted with my results.
A McKeown Medical patient on RealSelf 3 months post-op
From the first consultation Russell made me feel extremely comfortable and confident about the procedure. It’s been 8 weeks since the surgery and I am over the moon with my results. Five star experience. Before, during and aftercare is exceptional. I would never use anyone else if I was to consider surgery again. Can’t thank Russell enough how confident I am now, I feel fantastic.
