Can a Deep Plane Facelift get rid of jowls?

Sagging skin below the chin or jawline, known as ‘jowls’, is often one of the most noticeable signs of ageing. Most people develop jowls due to the loss of skin elasticity over time. However, it can be less pronounced in people with more fat or collagen. Some may not have it due to genetics or lifestyle choices. 

Artiste Plastic Surgery shares some of the most common causes of jowls and how a Deep Plane Facelift can eliminate them. 

What are the causes of jowls?

• Skin ageing – With the natural ageing process, the skin on the cheeks and below the jawline loses elastin and the development of collagen decreases. As this happens, the skin loses its firmness and tightness, causing your cheeks and jawline to sag. 

• Genetics – If either of your parents has jowls, it is more likely that you will also develop them. It may also be possible to develop jowls early, such as in your teens or twenties, especially if you have thin skin or lower collagen and elastin levels. 

• Weight loss – When you experience a significant amount of weight loss, the stretched skin, including the skin on your face, causing for the development of jowls.

Getting rid of jowls with Deep Plane Facelift

There are various options for eliminating sagging jowls, including surgical procedures like a Deep Plane Facelift. This advanced cosmetic surgery or facelift technique lifts the muscle and skin layers in one flap to a youthful position, resulting in firmer skin, lifted jowls, and an improved neckline.

This procedure is a great option for younger patients who want to lift their jowls and face when a neck lift is unnecessary, addressing the early signs of ageing. Aside from tightening the jowls, a deep plane facelift can make you look fresh and achieve a naturally youthful appearance.
