Condition Overview

What are sagging Jowls?

Jowls are a common sign of facial aging characterized by sagging skin along the jawline that creates a drooping appearance. While typically developing with age, genetic factors and lifestyle choices can accelerate their formation, affecting facial contours and youthful definition.

At Dermasurge, we specialize in advanced jowl treatments that restore jawline definition and facial harmony. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with innovative techniques to help patients achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

Symptoms

  • Jowls appear as sagging skin or soft tissue that hangs below the jawline, creating a loss of definition between face and neck.
  • They often develop alongside nasolabial folds and marionette lines, forming a “W” shape of aging.
  • Skin laxity increases as collagen and elastin fibers weaken, reducing the skin’s ability to snap back.
  • Volume loss in facial fat pads allows skin to droop downward, accentuating jowl formation.
  • Genetic predisposition influences how early and prominently jowls become noticeable.
  • Severity ranges from mild (slight softening along jaw) to advanced (pronounced hanging pockets of skin).

causes

Jowls develop from multiple factors that compromise facial support structures and skin elasticity. While aging is the primary cause, other elements can accelerate their formation.

Collagen and Elastin Depletion
Natural aging reduces collagen/elastin production by 1-2% annually after age 20, weakening skin’s structural integrity.

Facial Volume Redistribution
Midface fat pads descend downward due to gravity and ligament weakening, accumulating along the jawline.

Genetic Predisposition
Inherited skin quality and facial bone structure determine how early and severely jowls develop.

Sun Damage
UV exposure breaks down collagen 10x faster than normal aging through photoaging processes.

Significant Weight Loss
Rapid reduction of facial fat leaves excess skin that sags along the jaw.

Smoking
Nicotine restricts blood flow, depriving skin of oxygen and nutrients essential for elasticity.

At Dermasurge, we analyze each patient’s unique combination of causes to develop targeted jowl treatment plans.

Professional Treatments

Ultherapy® uses microfocused ultrasound to stimulate collagen production deep within skin layers, providing gradual lifting of jowls without surgery.

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening delivers controlled heat energy to shrink collagen fibers and promote new collagen formation for natural-looking jawline definition.

Dermal Fillers restore volume along the jawline and midface to lift sagging tissues and recreate youthful facial contours.

Thread Lifts provide immediate support with dissolvable threads while stimulating long-term collagen production for sustained improvement.

Nefertiti Lift (Botox®) relaxes downward-pulling neck muscles to create a subtle lifting effect along the jawline and reduce jowl appearance.

Each treatment is customized by Dr. Hiba Injibar based on your degree of jowling, skin quality, and desired outcome for natural facial rejuvenation.

I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.

The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.

Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
