Why Do You Develop A Sagging Jawline?
With ageing, your jawline starts to sag from loss of volume and structure in your lower face. Your jawbone is resorbed and your deep fat shrinks, affecting the stability of your lower face foundations. While some superficial fat pads wither, others expand and begin to droop forwards and down your face due to gravity, leading to lower face sag. This is especially so with jowl fat.
The issue of a sagging jawline is compounded by the presence of lax skin with ageing. Mature skin contains less collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of your skin. Subsequently, older skin is less resilient and less able to hold everything in place and counteract the sag when compared to more youthful skin.
Instead of having a straight jawline, it becomes wavy in shape - a completely normal process of facial ageing.
How Can The Dr. Jodie Clinic Help With Your Sagging Jawline?
The Dr. Jodie clinic offers comprehensive consultations for sagging jawlines, which is always your first step.
More often than not a combination approach will be recommended, as a sagging jawline has numerous contributing causes. These will likely include medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, Laser Genesis, and the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling. The latter device is particularly powerful for skin tightening and plays an important role in firming up mature skin for a more defined jawline.
Please note that any treatment that includes the use of schedule 4 medications cannot legally be advertised online, as directed by our governing body the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), so it is not a feature of our discussion here.
What Is Involved In Your Consultation For A Sagging Jawline At The Dr. Jodie Clinic?
A thorough facial assessment is key to treatment planning and will be the focus of your consultation visit at the Dr. Jodie clinic. Your Dr. Jodie clinician will clearly identify the factors contributing to your sagging jawline and determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. Sometimes surgical referral will be required, sometimes non-surgical options will suffice. Once appropriately assessed, a management plan outlining your recommended processes will be devised. Each step in your treatment pathway will be carefully explained, as well as risks and benefits, and costs. You will have ample opportunity to have any questions answered and standardised clinical photography will be employed to document your progress.
