Sagging Jowls? How to Lift Your Jawline Without Surgery
While jowls are an inevitable part of ageing, treating jowls without the need for expensive (and painful) surgery has never been easier, thanks to beauty advancements in innovative technologies.
What exactly are jowls?
Jowls are small pockets of tissue (subcutaneous fat) that begins to sag below the jawline, this happens as the lower muscles in our cheeks start to lose strength and volume. As the fat pockets drop, it creates the appearance of an undefined jawline and has a soft/loose appearance. Jowls become present as we age.
Three main causes of jowls
Reason #1: Ageing, it’s no secret as we age our skin begins to lose collagen and elastin, both of which are fundamental to maintaining youthful, plump looking skin. Collagen is a protein that makes up the connective tissue in our body, while elastin (another protein and connective tissue) allows the skin to return to its normal shape even after being stretched. As we begin to lose these two key proteins, our cheeks and facial fat lose their firmness and tightness, which leads to sagging skin allowing fat to drop causing jowls, and even wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth.
Reason #2: Genetics and Skin Type - genetics and skin are another key cause to consider when it comes to jowls, when they’ll start to appear and how noticeable they’ll become. For skin types that are naturally thinner, or produce limited amounts of collagen and elastin, you may notice jowls can develop earlier in life.
Reason #3: Lifestyle - Our lifestyle can also impact jowls. From overexposure to UV to our daily nutrition, there are an array of our everyday lifestyle habits can accelerate the appearance of jowls. Diets that lack the correct nutrients, antioxidants, and chronic dehydration, can impact our organs, glands and of course our skin.
Studies reveal overexposure to UV radiation increases the development of reactive oxygen species (ROS), once these reach higher concentrations levels, they can damage the two main proteins that make up the skin: collagen and elastin. With reduced collagen and elastin, this can lead to the formation of jowls.
