Jowls rarely have a single cause, so they rarely have a single fix. Dr Kris brings more than 12 years of clinical experience and a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy to every jowl treatment at Kriniko Medical Aesthetics, assessing how volume, skin and muscle are each contributing before recommending a plan.
If your jawline looks softer than it used to, your face seems heavier towards the bottom, or you notice sagging in photos and on video calls, a non-surgical jowl treatment may help.
Filling a jowl directly can make the lower face look heavier. Dr Kris instead focuses on restoring the structure that holds the face up, then refining the jawline and skin, so results look lifted, balanced and natural.
Replacing lost cheek and temple volume can reduce the downward drag on the lower face, softening jowls and marionette lines before the jaw is even treated.
Most jowls respond best to a combination of volume, muscle relaxation and collagen stimulation, staged over weeks rather than done all at once.
Your skin is assessed with the OBSERV 520 skin analysis system, so improvements in skin quality and firmness can be tracked across your treatment plan.
Whether you'd like a crisper jawline, a gentle lift along the lower face or firmer, thicker skin, Dr Kris creates a personalised plan for subtle, balanced results.
Jowls often appear as the cheeks lose volume and the tissue they once supported slips downwards. Carefully placed hyaluronic acid filler in the cheeks, pre-jowl sulcus and along the jawline restores that support, camouflaging the jowl and redrawing a smoother line from chin to ear.
Dr Kris uses firmer, lifting fillers designed to hold their shape, placed precisely so the lower face looks defined rather than heavier. Treatment can also soften marionette lines and improve chin projection for a more balanced profile.
Some of the drag on the jawline comes from muscle. The platysma, a thin sheet of muscle in the neck, and the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down can both exaggerate jowls, marionette lines and visible neck bands.
Precisely placed anti-wrinkle injections can relax these muscles, sometimes called a Nefertiti lift, allowing the jawline to look sharper and the corners of the mouth to sit higher. It is often combined with filler for a more complete result.
As collagen and elastin decline, lower face skin thins and loses its ability to spring back, which makes jowls more noticeable. Regenerative treatments help rebuild that support from within, firming and thickening the skin over a course of sessions.
Depending on your skin, Dr Kris may recommend collagen stimulators such as Sculptra or AesPlla, polynucleotides, Profhilo or microneedling, either on their own for early laxity or alongside filler and injections for longer-lasting jawline results.
Knowing what happens before, during and after your jowls treatment helps you feel at ease and set realistic expectations.
Dr Kris reviews your medical history, assesses your face at rest and in movement, and explains what is driving your jowls. You'll receive a clear, personalised plan and time to consider it.
Numbing cream is applied where needed, and fillers contain local anaesthetic for comfort. Injectable treatments usually take 30–60 minutes, and collagen-stimulating plans are spread over several sessions.
Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising can last a few days. Avoid exercise, alcohol, heat and pressure on the area for 24–48 hours. Your review appointment allows any fine-tuning.
Filler results are visible straight away and settle over two weeks, while collagen-stimulating treatments build gradually over two to three months. Results typically last 12 to 18 months or longer with maintenance.
