We welcome your email, text, online chat or call if you would like further information.

What causes a your jowls to droop

A droopy jawline, often called jowls, is primarily caused by aging. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and collagen, leading to sagging. Additionally, the facial muscles and fat pads that support the skin can weaken and shift downward.

Other contributing factors include

  • genetics,
  • sun exposure,
  • smoking,
  • significant weight fluctuations.

These elements collectively cause the skin and underlying structures around the jawline to droop, resulting in a less defined jawline.

Treatment options for jawline laxity

We understand that every individual is unique, and their aesthetic goals are personal. That’s why we offer customised solutions designed to meet your specific needs and aspirations.

Whether you’re seeking to enhance the definition of your jawline or reduce the appearance of your double chin, we have options that are tailored just for you.

At your initial consultation, your concerns and your expectations will be discussed with an experienced Plastic Cosmetic Surgeon or Dermal Therapist.

Your options will be discussed and a plan derived for you.
It could include surgical or nonsurgical options or both.

Your Aesthetica experience

Personalised Consultation Process: We understand that choosing the right treatment to reduce a double chin or redefine your jawline is a deeply personal decision. That’s why we’re committed to making your journey as smooth and comfortable as possible. Our tailored consultation process allows you to explore your treatment options from the comfort of your own home.

Your Comfort, Your Choice: After an initial call, you can easily send photos of the areas you’d like to improve. We’ll then discuss treatment options, expected outcomes, and costs via email, text, phone, or even video call—whatever method suits you best.

While nothing beats an in-person consultation, you can book a consultation with one of our Dermal Clinicians. If you’re leaning towards a surgical option for your double chin treatment, you can also book a consultation with one of our experienced doctors.

Redefining jowls treatment options

  • Lower third facelift is a surgical option that removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues for a more significant and lasting result.
  • Facial threads provide a minimally invasive solution by using dissolvable threads to lift and support sagging skin.
  • Ultherapy utilises focused ultrasound to deeply penetrate and lift the skin, improving jawline definition.
  • Accent RF uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and boost collagen production, offering a non-invasive lift.
