CONCERN
Sagging jowls and jawline. Considered, non surgical options.
Sagging jowls and a softening jawline are among the most common concerns clients raise with us in consultation. The cause is usually not loose skin alone. Loss of structural volume in the mid face leaves the lower face less supported, and the jawline less defined. At Plumerian Aesthetics in Bentleigh, AHPRA registered cosmetic nurse Melia offers considered, non surgical options including facial volumising to restore mid face support and collagen biostimulation to gradually support skin firmness. Every plan begins with a complimentary 30 minute consultation. There is no pressure to commit on the day.
What causes this concern
Jowls appear when two things happen together over time. First, the cheek and mid face gradually lose volume, removing the structural support that previously held the lower face in place. Second, skin firmness reduces, so what skin remains has less elasticity to hold against gravity. The right strategy depends on which change is dominant in your face. That is something we assess together at consultation. Some clients benefit most from restoring structural support. Others benefit most from gradually supporting their own collagen production. Many benefit from a thoughtful combination.
How we can help
Several considered options can help at Plumerian Aesthetics Bentleigh, each suited to different presentations.
- Facial Volume Restoration: restoring structural support to the cheek and surrounding areas, which often improves how the jowls appear from the side and three quarter view
- Collagen Stimulation: supporting your own collagen production gradually over months, which can help with skin firmness and structural quality in the lower face
- Skin Bio-Remodelling: supporting overall skin quality and firmness in the lower face and neck area, complementary to either of the above approaches
What to expect
There is no quick fix for jowls, and we will never present one. Most clients see meaningful improvement over a series of treatments across several months. The aim is gradual, natural looking refinement so that you look rested rather than different. Your treatment plan, with realistic timelines and likely outcomes, is discussed honestly at your first consultation. Most clients leave with a written plan and several days to consider it before booking anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a replacement for a facelift?
No. Non surgical options can support and refine the jawline area, but they do not replace the dramatic lifting of a surgical facelift for clients with significant skin laxity. For many faces with mild to moderate concerns however, the non surgical approach delivers a meaningful, considered improvement that suits everyday life.
How long do results last?
It depends on the approach. Facial volumising typically lasts 12 to 18 months. Collagen biostimulation works over months and the changes can last for 18 to 24 months. Maintenance is discussed at your consultation based on your specific plan.
Will I look obviously treated?
Looking obviously treated is the outcome we work hardest to avoid. Our approach is restrained by design. Most clients receive comments that they look rested or well, with no specific guesses about what was done.
I am in my early 40s. Is it too soon?
It depends on what you are seeing in the mirror. Many clients begin gentle preventive approaches in their 40s. We are honest at consultation about whether treatment is right for you now or whether a watch and wait approach makes more sense.
How much will it cost?
Pricing depends on the specific approach and the volume needed for your face. We discuss expected costs openly at consultation, with no pressure to commit on the day. A written plan is provided for you to consider.
How soon will I see results?
Facial volumising shows visible results almost immediately. Collagen biostimulation is gradual, with meaningful changes typically apparent at the three month mark and continuing to refine over six months.
