I had a face and neck lift at age 50. The surgeon said he set the clock back by 10 years. I would always look 10 years younger than my age. Now, at age 70, I find this is true. I don't look 50 again, I look 60. I have always been glad I had the facelift. Best money I ever spent. I say if you can afford it, do it!
I agree. I had mine at age 56, almost 8 years ago. I get filler now in my gonial angle to maintain my results.
I’m 60 and look 50 no surgery needed !good genes…
@@angelasmith257awesome!
Do you mind sharing how long your recovery period lasted, and was it painful?
@eringaines After 3 weeks, I went back to work. My job didn't require any physical exertion, and I was able to take breaks to apply ice packs to my cheeks. After six weeks, I was able to sleep on my side again. Up until then, my ears were too sensitive. I would advise you to plan for two months of taking it a little easy. No gym, other physical exertion, or chemical hair treatments. Your incisions will be hidden in your hair and behind your ears. Good luck with your facelift! You will love your results.
I’m sad that surgery is the only way to solve lower face sagging. I’ve not had good results with filler and have had new problems arise with the use of them. It’s hard to accept an aging face. I’ve really been struggling with it. When I look in the mirror and pull my skin back, I say to myself hi, I miss you! I’m thankful to have good skin at least, and I’m told I look younger than my age, but I still don’t feel attractive anymore. People say it’s vain, but I just don’t feel like myself. I can’t afford a facelift so it is a matter of acceptance. It’s not easy.
I find red light therapy and microcurrent at home really helps. Nuface is good, I hear people love Omilux and Dennis gross red-light.
I bet you are beautiful. I am developing jowls (am 54) but am trying to use contour under my chin. I am not really bothered by it though and thank my face for getting me this far in life.
I only use topical treatments such as retinol or exfoliating products and I think it’s good enough. I also wear sunscreen. Going under a knife for anything is serious and risky. I feel a bit rebellious about surgery. Maybe one day I will look “old”
and people can gasp and be glad they had surgery 😅 See Twilight Zone Number 12 looks just like you 😊
Truth. All the money spent on promises from cosmetic companies could have paid for a surgical FL by now. Put away a thousand a year starting at age 25, and you're ready by 55.
Microcurrent has been the most effective.
50 here and I have developed jowls recently. It sucks so bad!!! I have zero wrinkles but I do have saggy skin....UGH!!! I tell my husband I don't know what's worse!!! Wrinkles or sagging, LOL!! I guess having both right!!! LOL! It is what it is! I'm doing my best to embrace this new phase in my life, I am healthy, i exercise, i drink plenty of water, I have a beautiful healthy family and I glow from the inside so I am blessed beyond measure! Embrace aging ladies, it truly is a privilege
We all age.... nobody will look like they are 25 forever. Eat healthy, get enough sleep and exercise and accept how we change as we age is important. Dr. Ellis, I'm sure you are under 45 years old. You have a perfect face. I have spent money on my looks before, but now that I am in my 60s....no more.
Amen!
Indeed! We all age. And if we are blessed with a long life, we will grow old. No matter how young we look for our age, at some point we will look old. So embrace aging, but do our best to age healthily in mind, body and soul.
I wish someone did a video on the appreciation of aging 🙌
Very interesting video.
At 54, beginning to show a jowl, but don't want a face lift so I will embrace my wisdom 😊
Yep, I am not completely against anti aging technology, I just think most people don't have the money; and we shouldn't waste what we have on this. We all age; and no matter what you do, you won't stop the aging process. I guess if you have tons of money and have nothing else to spend it on....that's a choice. I am just tired of people thinking young=good and old=bad....it's not necessarily the case. Our society is obsessed with youth and that is a shame.
Everyone that has been born will age. The only thing certain abt life is death. Tell me anything else that’s certain. You can do all you want.. needles, surgery, fillers, Botox, facelift and so on but clock only goes forward. Just try to be the best version of yourself at whatever age you are.. embrace aging and instead of adding days to your life just watching these silly videos and mirror, I think it’s better to add life to your days. So on our last day, we feel we lived a good life!
All this is just business! She has to pay her medical student loans and debts, so she does all this and I think it plays on normal ppl minds. That’s what is social media. I don’t think we should waste our valuable time on petty stuff. Things are only as big as you make them to be…
Truth 👆🏼
I appreciate your honesty about what works and what is a waste of money and perhaps even a danger. Thank you!
Influencers like Angie & Dominique have shown that consistent care & awareness can keep you looking your best & most youthful thru skin care, life habits & devices. Angie is 61 with no jowls at all.
Do we believe Angie has never actually had any surgical procedures done ?
This is such a refreshingly honest and educational video - thank you! ❤🙏🏼
Thank you for your honesty. I am sick and tired of cosmetic professionals that go on the record and push Botox and fillers to solve facial skin. The only solution is surgery. Many of us don’t want to consider such drastic and invasive procedures but it’s the only thing that will actually solve sagging skin and muscle. I appreciate your honesty. I follow some cosmetic doctors on this platform and the information is consistent.
I’m really glad you were honest about the facelift. I feel like derms avoid admitting this and then patients spend so much money on procedures that are limited in what they can do. Thank you for the straight talk.
Love the facts and honesty on this channel ❤
I really appreciate your honesty! Thank you so much
I appreciate your honesty!
Very informative and realistic. Thank you!!
Thank you for your honesty Dr. Ellis.🙌🙌🙌
A fantastic and honest review Dr Sam - thanks so much. What do you think of Endolift for tightening jowls? The probe under the skin?
Thank you Dr. Sam! I fully trust what you say and listen to your advice
Thank you for telling the truth and not selling us magical solutions that don't work.
Thank you for your honesty.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!! Thank you for your honesty and sharing your wealth of knowledge. I declare myself as your fan!!!!!
Love your hair and makeup today. You look gorgeous
Thanks for your honesty and saving some of us $$$$$$
GLOWING today!
Exceptional education, thank you. I've had jawline filler for bone loss and it's given a bit of structure back to the face without looking heavy. It lasts a long time. My injector has an artistic eye and that helps.
A great injector makes all the difference!
What type of filler?
Which filler?
Yes agreed! The doctor that uses filler can do it artistically from below on jaw up through smile lines like beautiful Nicole Kidman. No need for the knife if not desired. Just someone with quality work, experience with fillers and a great eye.
I need this!! Thank you!😊
amen! thank you for this video. I’m 57 years old and I felt the same way. Nothing’s going to lift those jowls except a facelift so I went in and had it all done. Best thing I ever did. along with an upper bleph! now im lifted and snatched ! threads are worthless don’t recommend them. never did them but my botox injector did not recommend them as well. I get so tired of seeing so many videos on TH-cam using the word lifted !Nothing‘s going to lift your face. No device is going to lift your face. Stop throwing your money away. I feel like for the cost of the facelift. I saved lots of money on worthless procedures did not give me the results I want.
I'm so curious, do you mind saying, just how much is a face-lift, approximately .
@@rebella5769i paid 17,000 and that included an upper bleph on my eyes and one night in hospital in houston texas
Hello. Would you mind telling me how the bruising was? Of course I understand that will be different for each person but I am wondering about the down time and how long I would not be able to return to work. Thank you.
@@gabibartlett6968 I had little to no bruising and zero pain. Just a little puffy I had a really speedy recovery. You just have a lot of strange feelings around your face. Your face will feel very tight hard to turn your neck, but that subsides after a while. It’s been eight months and I still have the tightness I would say after a week you could return to work depending what your job is.
@lisatompkins9588 thank you for your quick response!
Thank you so much for your straight up honesty. After having severe bone loss over last 18 years from a rare chronic disease, my facial structure really changed & stopped recognizing myself around 35. Doctors & Dentist both saying have bone loss of an 80 year old & I’m not 47.
Have no way & will never have way to pay for facelift. Can’t even afford necessary medical treatments, testing & therapies lol. But been endlessly searching, for a cheap way to improve my sagging face & good to know not to waist any funds or anymore time searching into this. Guess gotta just accept I’m gonna always look 15 years older then I am 🤷🏼♀️
Omg this makeup look on you!❤
Love it! A derm that just calls the spade the spade! Thx for this frank and real conversation about our changing faces.
Thank you for those video.. I really appreciate your honesty. May I ask how long does the facelift last? Can you make a video about it ?
Apparently, ten years.
You look fantastic in those colors! So springy today!
Definitely made this one for me 😂. Thanks so much Dr. Sam. You look great ❤
I’m getting ready to have the second of three micro needling sessions on face, neck, and décolleté. I don’t have much jowling , but my skin is more lax at age 60. I have noticed mild improvement in jawline after first round. I noticed that they took pictures before the first treatment, so there will be something other than my opinion to compare back to.
Thank you for being honest about how office procedures might fall short. I'm fortunate to look younger, but jowl and neck deterioration might lead me to surgery in a few years.
Dr. Ellis, thanks so much for this valuable information, especially regarding the thread lift risks. As a 34 year old, I am already seeing jowls forming and decreased skin tightness. I would love to be preventative/ slow down the visible signs of aging. I've heard about Sofwave and Profound RF. Would any of these options (or something else) make sense to consider for my initial onset of jowls? Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this info.
The main cause of jowls and any other sagging and bagging is called AGING. Stay healthy and fit and grow old gracefully. It's what's inside that counts.
Lol, well, yes, this is true, but that doesn’t mean we like it or can’t try to change it.
Dr. Ellis. Would you mind telling me where your practice is located. I am having difficulty locating you through searches. I live in Northern California and would be interested in a consult. TY for your incredibly informative videos. Just subscribed! Kelly
Thank you for an honest assessment of options. I was so hoping for some non-invasive solutions. But, thanks anyway. I did see a temporary nonsurgical solution. Its that tape you adhere to your hairline with a string. Pulls everything up!!!😅😅😅.
Thank you for this video - great information
I had threads done by a practitioner in the Bay Area 3 years ago - I really loved the results but one of the threads migrated and actually came out through the inside of my lower cheek - it (not far from
The corner of my mouth) very unpleasant . Results lasted 6-9 months -
This same practitioner has a new laser - Fotana- that is promoted for all kinds of procedures - are you familiar with it and if so do you see it as beneficial for jowls?
BTW- I participated in a clinical trial at a facility in Sacramento for Sofwave- specifically for cellulite - sadly no improvement
Can you please let us know what makeup you are using in this video? In particular the lipstick, but I love the whole look!
As a 50 year old with the onset of jowls, this has been really helpful. Thank you for breaking it down.
So happy to hear that!
new here...was wondering what cosmetic procedures you've had done (lasers, microneedling, botox, filler, etc)? your skin looks great
Hi Doctor,
Do you recommend a great surgeon in Northern California and/or Honolulu?
Thank you
Can we get a GRWM, your makeup looks stunning today! ❤❤
I agree ❤
@@daresaryan8229 Yes, please. her makeup is beautiful. I agree 100%
this is the makeup artist who did her makeup! @britdoesmakeup
That is exactly what brought me here! Dr Ellis please share your eyeshadow, lipstick and foundation products! You look beautiful 🤩
@louisah6020 could not find her. Just brought up British vs American MUA.
What are your thoughts on face yoga? Would exercising the muscles beneath the skin assist at all
Dermatologists look great.
Thank you for this video. You’re only the second dermatologist I’ve heard say that getting a bunch of fillers along the jawline may make one’s lower face look different and not in a good way. I’ve heard too many say just get fillers, just get Botox!
Glad it was helpful! Filler is such a useful tool, but only if used to solve the right problem!
A facelift is the only solution for jowls. Jowls are pockets of fat that have dropped due to laxity of the skin, fascia and muscles, and bone resorption. Once they settle in, ONLY surgery can fix them.
I tried RF (at home): caused more laxity, leading to the onset of jowls. Microneedling, retin-A, and facial exercises: excellent for the face as a whole, but did nothing for the jowls (maybe just slow them a bit). Filler on the jawline at the bone level: very minimal results. Ellacor (microcoring): may have slowed down progression, but did not erase jowls.
After three years of spending my money trying to avoid a facelift, I finally bit the bullet. What a difference. I had a MACS lift, otherwise known as a mini lift. Basically a lower SMAS facelift.
I do think that all the other stuff I did above (with the exception of RF) may have prepared a good terrain for the facelift, allowing me to go for a MACS lift rather than a full or deep plane. I will continue doing them to maintain my results.
How helpful is mesotherapy? If the overall facial skin is tightened, won't marionette lines and sagging cheeks also be reduced? Or can mesotherapy not tighten the skin?
And 2nd question: Is there something like a mini lift, so that the whole face doesn't have to be cut, but maybe just 1-2 cm on both sides?
Dr. Ellis, can you address how to help with marionette lines and nasalabial folds? That's what bothers me the most!
Since a NuFace isnt going to be helpful for the jawline, can you tell me something you think it is helpful for?
Can you please list your lip products that you're wearing and blush and shadow. YOU LOOK STUNNING!!!!
@britdoesmakeup
Also, having good lighting, helps
Thanks for being super honest about the only "true long-term fix" for jowls is surgery. I don't find that cosmetic dermatologists influencers speak to the surgery options and appreciate the honesty of what can be achieved through the different options.
Makeup is giving “it gworl” 💗💗💗💅🏼
I am 33 and started to notice the early signs of it especially after losing 30 lbs in a year . I tried rf microneedling (scarlet) with exosomes and saw great improvement after only one session but like 3 weeks after it with the collagen build up that I started noticing that my face has been lifted. I have been a tretinoin user for 4 years so probably that has played a role to how my skin responded. Still going for a second session not because my jowls are bothering me anymore but I loved the results it gave to my skin in general and the doctor recommended I do 3 sessions to begin with and with the huge improvement I've seen I cannot wait to see the final results. Cannot really believe that my skin can get any better but I'll take my doctor words for it
see, I had 6 sessions of RF and barely noticed a difference. I also have been using tret for about 2 years. skin is so wild 😂
What are your thoughts on Deoxycholic for the neck?
I have had threads done twice now. The first time they lasted a year. I had amazing results; however, I have had an issue with the left side of my face where one of the threads kept wanting to come out. After two tries I kept that one out for good. I have 6 other friends who have been going to the same person that have been getting threads done for years with no issues and lasting results. We all love them!
Just curious, if the results lasted a year, how can you say lasting results
@@leahn4267 that’s long lasting to us. Most people say they only last 2-3 months. So take it how you would like.
A year is a last result for something that is not so invasive, as in no surgery. I am curious, what types of threads did you use? I'm considering it for the future.
Loved this content. Hi, Dr. Ellis! I'm new to your channel and I was wondering if you could you share what cosmetic or surgery procedures you have performed on yourself? How is it that I don't see any jowls on you? Please spill the secrets 😊
Thank you! I have a TH-cam video of everything I’ve done! Also, I’m only in my 30s, so give me some time to age more 😅
Thanks for the truth.
If the jaw is deficient, would implants in that area be a good choice? Would the jaw implants need replacement because of changes with age?
Goodness. I don't know if I could find the time for a face lift. I can barely meet my dentist appointments. Nevertheless, thanks for taking the time to upload the vid!
Curious about your thoughts on Sofwav. Is it a good option for submental skin laxity?
Great info! Would love to know your thoughts on kybella vs liposuction for under chin genetic fat on young patients in their 20s.
I almost always prefer liposuction (very targeted result that can be tailored during the procedure) unless it is a very small amount of fat (like barely enough to pinch), in which case a series of Kybella injections work well and is technically less invasive.
Thank you for replying!
The research I’ve done on this confirms what she says; Kybella can also lead to some fibrosis (scarring). You can get liposuction done while you’re awake and it can actually be quite quick and fairly affordable. I have Lipedema, which is a rather common connective tissue/fat disorder in women that causes pain, swelling, fibrosis, etc & the medical treatment for it is to remove the diseased tissue via liposuction. It’s incredibly effective for pain reduction and to maintain mobility. Insurance companies are even covering it sometimes! It’s estimated that 6-11% of women have it… yet very few have even heard of it (including physicians) so if you have no idea what I’m talking about you aren’t alone lol. Anyway… I digress lol.
The point is that I’ve learned a LOT about liposuction the last couple of years because of this and it isn’t nearly as scary or invasive as one would think 😆🤷🏼♀️
Have had threads done midface and neck. Results were good, and no complications. Would I do it again? Probably not as I have become more knowledgeable about available options. I have also had filler done and was lucky to find a greatly skilled injector who is conservative in her approach.
what are the better options than threads? how long did your threads last?
What is often missed is the issue of the muscles in the neck and under the jaw pulling that area down. Often simple Botox in the DAO and/or the Platismus can help release the downward pull on the mouth and surrounding area. 😀
Facial massage!! I definitely believe this works, just started doing this and my Aesthetician said my skin looks amazing. Honestly, I thought it was a trend but it works 😊.
any you can recommend?
@@Ebizzill I can give a few tips like one a facial oil and Gua sha is key, but you can just do very simple light massages on the face ( always be very gentle and in upward motion).Also neck is very important but instead of going up you would go down light pressure with hands or gua sha for 5 mins twice a day.
I have Lipedema and have since learned the importance and effectiveness of lymphatic massage. It’s crazy how big of a difference it actually makes 😳
@@karenhanson359 A massage is like magic I swear by it 😊
@@tinamcgonigle79Yes, agree. I try to do lymphatic drainage daily. Facial exercises do make a big difference also.
I agree with you on threads
I'm curious what your opinion is of Facetite for jowls.
I got threads done three years ago and absolutely loved the effect. It tightened my face more than anything else I'd done, including Thermage and Ultherapy. But it was painful and I've not done it again because I don't find that I need it again. I do Thermage, Ultherapy and Emface and find those help enough that I don't need threads.
how long did the results last?
the threads lasted like two years but they wore off very gradually so it was hard to gauge.
Will thermage help
I started getting jowls in my 30s when my chubby cheeks deflated 😢 I'm looking more like my 75 year old Dad every day
Personally, I’ve had great results with thread lifts- noticeable difference and still happy with it a year and a half later. But I really think it matters who does it. People have different techniques and use different types of threads. My practitioner was great though!
What type of threads did you get?
Dr. Sam, your makeup looks amazing!
are you jaw corners naturally this pronounced and sharp or do you have filler there?
Would you be so kind as to give us the name of the trusted surgeon you work with?
What is the age range that you think fat removal is okay and the skin will bounce back? I am 34 and have a genetic double chin with a little jowling. Pretty sure it is mostly fat!
...Even at age 57... I did mot have this at all.. Now,in my late 60's,..its apoeared in small areas. ..our face shape does change as we Age.
The saddening part of this Equation is how EXPENSIVE the cost is, to help one feel better about themselves...its not akways " Vanity " or " Ego " involved ... its the NON- WEALTHY that should have the same opportunities to be able to " stave off " a few years .
Most " Average " people cannot afford certain kinds of these Procedures.
Does red light therapy help jowls? Does Lopo suction work on jewels? I look young for my age, but I am getting jowls and turkey neck. Help. I just ordered a red light face and neck hand held light wand with massage and 7 different colors of light. I don’t want a face lift.
Thanks so much for this info! Do you also like Sofwave for jowling?
Hello! What are your thoughts on the res light masks! Worth the money as long as your consistent?
I’d say so! (Not great for jowls specifically, but can be a nice way to optimize skin quality). If you’re interested, I have a whole TH-cam video dedicated to red light masks with more details!
What about Endolift? would it be a solution ?
What about microneedling or red light therapy at home? What about CO2 laser, will that help?
Nu face and Ziip have helped very much… 5 times a week… I definitely see improvement 😊
I guess it depends on the person. I used zip 5 x a week for 4 months and saw no changes in the jowls. Only a slight slimming of the check which is not what I wanted.
Dr Ellis, what do you think of PRP injected to help prevent jowls?
Wouldn’t waste my PRP there! I’d rather use it on my scalp or around the eyes.
I got my first jowling at late 20s after first pregnancy. The swelling and weight stretched out my skin on my face too 😢
I had Kybella for jowls and it worked great on one side, pretty well on the other. I've gained weight since, and I feel like they're not as bad as they could have been
Weight gain will do it as well as genetics and stress. I’ve been under immense stress for over 10 years and I developed them due to weight gain. I had a fat dissolver just like you and feel it’s helped a lot. No more double chin too! I’ll be having more fat dissolvers done to refine the lower face along with other injections. It takes time to see results. But if your jowls are there due to weight gain, fat dissolvers are definitely the way to go.
What about quitting dairy? Have you heard that that could help?
Hi Dr. Sam
Any experience and/or thoughts on Sofwave for treating the jowls? When you were describing the patient who says , my mom has jowls and I can already see where I’m headed, I was nodding yep that’s me 🙋🏽♀️ but at a fresh 43 a lower face lift sounds insane to me
Sofwave is a nice option! TBH, I’ve never seen results that blow me away or come anything close to a facelift, but for early jowl optimization, this technology is some of the best (and I totally meant to include it in here when I was talking about Ultherapy).
What are your thoughts on Sculptra? I was told that could help or microneedling. Thoughts? Thank you! Susan
I just had this done with the goal of minor improvements to the jowling that has developed at age 38 after weight gain and loss (as well as premature ovarian insufficiency & menopause 🫠). Luckily I heavily researched jowl treatments beforehand and understood the limitations of in office procedures vs. a facelift and didn’t add it to the jawline and am not expecting profound resolution. She pretty much confirmed every single thing I learned, which was awesome.
I am hoping for a bit of softening in appearance and overall less shadowing and more balance to the face. I’m hoping with those things, the bit of jowling that remains won’t bother me as much. I only had it done 1 month ago so I haven’t seen any results yet, but I’ll try to remember to provide an update here in 3-6 months 🙂 I had 2 syringes my first appt. She said I may need 3-4 total but I’m not planning on spending the money on 4, so lefts hope the 2-3 are effective 😆🙏🤞
For reference, I had Sculptra added to areas of the face that have hollowed a bit; especially in the upper face.
- the pre-auricular area (the area in front of the ear). This is an awesome area that few talk about, is subtle, and helps restore the youthful shape to the face!
- temples
- chin shadow (which basically softens the transition from the jowl to the chin and reduces shadowing)
- the triangle at the base of the nose (I’m blanking on the proper term for it right now but it’s not a common one & isn’t the nasolabial folds). This one will mostly improve overall balance and helps with the drooping of the tip of the nose that occurs with age.
@@karenhanson359 thank you for this information. Looking forward to your update.
@@karenhanson359hi, why didn't you add it to jawline, Sculptra is not a filler, any biostimulation is good , even in jawline, right ?
I would think Thermage and Ellacor would help with skin laxity. I wish you would have addressed the efficacy of these procedures.
I had lipo under my jawline about 20 years ago when I was in my mid forty's. It did help to firm my jawline. I think my jowls would be a lot worse now if I didnt have that done.
Please tell us your lipstick shade!
@Drsamellis what are your thoughts on laser treatment like the halo for helping with jowls or general sagging skin
She did mention that in the video that she said it has to be done daily and so far she hasn't seen great results. But I have one and I can tell the skin did tighten up some but nothing like complete removal of sagging skin.
Thank you
Do masseter botox injections to treat teeth grinding can cause or accelerate the creation of jowls?
Thank you!
In older individuals who have lost elasticity in the skin they can! So it’s always something I assess before treating the masseters in any of my patients!
I'm in my early 40s and have had chubby cheeks since I was a baby. I had two rounds of Kybella a year ago which had a significant impact in the reduction of fat under my jaw, chin, and in my lower cheeks. I am very happy with my results. Aside from the very high cost and the tremendous amount of pain, I did notice a small amount of asymmetrical loose skin under my chin, but it didn't seem noticeable to others when I pointed it out. I recently had botox (dysport) injected throughout my lower face. I took pictures before and again two weeks after. I don't think I would have noticed much of a difference if I hadn't done so, but the pictures show a significant difference. I am also considering getting some filler in my chin and cheeks. I will need to budget for it because it's super pricy.
Really great point about the importance of photography! We often aren’t able to appreciate more subtle changes on ourselves without the objectivity of a picture!
What about the Voluma Lift? Dr Loretta talks about it on Instagram
Your makeup!! 😍😍
@britdoesmakeup
Can you recommend a plastic surgeon in the NY/Greenwich CT area?
Just asked the same thing. NY is costly & I def can’t afford it BUT would love to have a consult.
