Q: Why Do You Develop A Sagging Jawline?

With ageing, your jawlinestarts 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.

Q: 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.

ALL CONSULTATIONS AND TREATMENTS ARE CONDUCTED PERSONALLY BY DR. JODIE OR HER HAND-SELECTED, HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF, WHO ARE COMMITTED TO DR. JODIE'S APPROACH AND PHILOSOPHY, AS OUTLINED BELOW.

Why Do You Develop A Sagging Jawline?

As the years pass, the shape and definition of the jawline naturally begin to change. This is due to a combination of factors: bone resorption in the jaw, shrinkage of deep fat pads, and shifting of superficial fat that tends to move forwards and down under the influence of gravity. Jowl fat in particular can play a role in creating the wavy contour often associated with a sagging jawline.

Skin quality also changes with time. Reduced collagen and elastin in mature skin means it becomes less resilient and less able to hold tissues in place. The result is a jawline that appears less taut and more uneven - a normal, expected process of facial ageing.

How Can The Dr. Jodie Clinic Help With Your Sagging Jawline?

Your first step is always a comprehensive consultation at the Dr. Jodie clinic.

Because sagging jawlines have multiple contributing factors, a combination approach is often recommended. Treatment planning may include medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, Laser Genesis, Meso Microneedling, and the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling. The latter is often selected for its ability to support skin tightening and firmness, which may assist in creating a more defined jawline.

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.

Your plan may also involve a staged, multi-modal approach over time, as certain treatments complement each other best when used together. Whatever your needs, your Dr. Jodie clinician will design a plan that reflects your individual features and goals.
