Jowls

Jowls refer to sagging skin along the lower cheeks and jawline, leading to reduced facial definition. They are mainly caused by the natural ageing process, where collagen and elastin decline and facial tissues gradually descend. Genetics, sun exposure, smoking and lifestyle factors can also contribute.

They are commonly seen from the age of 40 onwards, though this varies. Patients often notice a heavier lower face and a less defined jawline, which may affect overall facial balance. While a natural part of ageing, jowls can be effectively managed with a range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments tailored to individual needs.
