How to get rid of jowls?

Jowls are one of the earliest signs of facial aging, and they often create frustration because they change the overall shape of the face. A youthful face typically has a defined jawline and a lifted, heart-shaped contour. As we age, the soft tissue begins to descend, creating heaviness along the jawline and a more square appearance.

The main cause of jowls is the gradual weakening and elongation of the SMAS layer, the deeper structural support of the face. Over time, this layer loses its firmness due to aging, hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors. As it stretches downward, the cheeks drop and the jawline loses definition. This also affects the neck, leading to sagging and loss of contour.

Many patients first try non-surgical options like fillers, threads, or energy-based devices. While these may offer subtle improvement in younger patients, they often fall short in more advanced aging and can sometimes lead to unnatural results.

The most effective way to treat jowls is by addressing the deeper structures of the face. A deep plane or preservation facelift repositions the underlying tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, restoring a natural jawline and youthful contour with long-lasting results.

Linda is a 70 year-young woman who has spent her life in the beauty industry, it shows. Her skin is truly flawless, the result of years of consistent care and discipline.
She underwent a SMAS facelift 15 years ago and maintained a beautiful facial structure, with naturally full cheeks and no history of fillers or thread lifts.

When she came to see me, her goal was simple. She wanted to refresh her face and neck without changing what made her uniquely beautiful. She also hoped to subtly reduce the distance between her lip and nose for better balance.

I performed a preservation deep plane face and neck lift along with a deep plane lip lift, all under twilight sedation without general anesthesia. Her features are incredibly delicate, like a rose petal, requiring a very precise approach to avoid any over-lifting or a pulled look.

With our rapid recovery protocol, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV vitamin hydration, and photobiomodulation with ElixirMD, she healed quickly and comfortably. The result is natural, refined, and truly undetectable.

Q1: How do you approach a deep plane facelift when it comes to someone who might not have a ton of laxity or who is on the more youthful side?

A1: It's about how you reposition the vectors and having a tension-free result when you're done. Not just on the outside layers but even in the deep plane, when you're repositioning the deeper layers, you don't want to put tension on the surrounding structures. The procedure is about releasing the ligaments and letting the tissue delicately sit back where it looks natural, and that requires experience, honestly.

Going with an artist analogy, you have to have a vision. There are different types of artists, and they see things differently. As a surgeon, you have to understand what is going to look good on this person, how much fat needs to be put here, or how much I need to lift a tissue to make it beautiful and undetectable.

Q2: What are the different types of brow lifts that you do? Do you have a preference?

A2: One technique is called a Temporal Brow lift. For this technique, the goal is to elevate the lateral portion of the side of the face. When you lift the face more vertically during a facelift, you can get some bunching on the side, and so I combine that with a Temporal Brow lift to offset this. And that helps to elevate just the side of Brad for her.

I also do an endoscopic style brow lift, which requires some incision in the forehead area to lift the central portion of the brow in addition to the side. It has to look natural, and we don't do the old-fashioned versions that leave you looking surprised; those are out of style.

Before her transformation, Rena came to see me because she was experiencing filler fatigue. She underwent a SMAS facelift 12 years ago, which gave her excellent results at the time, but nothing lasts forever, and over the course of the following decade, she would go on to get fillers in an effort to extend those results.

Fillers and injectables are great to correct small imperfections, but as we get older, it's not uncommon to feel a creeping sense that injectables are starting to change the essence of one's face. Depending on your goals and anatomy, injectables can create just as many problems as they aim to solve.

She initially came to see me in mid-2023, and at the time, although she was more than ready to have a procedure, I didn’t feel like she had enough of the telltale signs of aging to warrant a deep plane facelift, and I asked her to wait until I felt like I could give her the transformation she wanted. About a year and a half later, we had a second consultation, and this time, everything aligned.

To achieve her goals, I performed a Preservation deep plane face and neck lift, a temporal brow lift, fat grafting under her eyes, and a TCA Peel to improve skin texture and tone. This approach allows me to lift and reposition the deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening the skin. The result is a more authentic rejuvenation of the jawline, neck, and midface, without a pulled or artificial look. Everything was performed under 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, avoiding general anesthesia.

Now, only 6 months after her procedure, she says, “I feel like it’s just me, but awake and well rested. My favorite part is when I wake up in the morning. I got so used to walking by the mirror and just feeling droopy and tired. Now, when I wake up, and I walk by that same mirror, I take just a quick glance, and I look fresh from the first thing in the morning.”

Getting older is inevitable. My patients and I know we're not literally turning back the clock. This is about allowing our outside image to keep pace with our ongoing life, rather than feeling left behind by time

My lovely patient, Pai, is 72 years young and 9 years post-op from an SMAS facelift. Together, we created a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan that included a Preservation Deep Plane face and a temporal brow lift, and fat grafting to the under-eye area to restore lost volume.

In the early days after surgery, things can sometimes look more dramatic than patients expect. Wait until the end of the video, and you will see how temporary that stage is. For a surgery like this, most of my patients are comfortable enough to walk around in public after just a few weeks. In reality, most patients experience very little pain, especially when surgery is performed carefully and recovery is managed properly.

Pai trusted the process and stayed positive throughout her healing. Now, just two months after surgery, the transformation is beautiful to see. Her face looks refreshed, natural, and vibrant — perfectly matching her youthful spirit.

I’m grateful to Pai for allowing me to share part of her journey.
Results like this remind me why I love what I do, and as always, please be kind. More so now than ever, we should try and spread a little positivity whenever we can ❤

Joann is 78 years young and came to see me after having two previous SMAS lifts. The goal with revisionary is the same as any, not to erase character but to bring harmony back to the face. Revisional procedures just take an extra level of careful planning.

To achieve the results she was looking for required a multi-layered approach. She lost a significant amount of weight, which left her with excess skin laxity that needed to be addressed. Like many of us, as we get older, we naturally lose some of the natural fat that gives us the fullness in our faces. Joanne is no different, and so we decided on fat grafting to restore that lost volume as well. Then I have to also address the SMAS. To do this, I need to release the deep retaining ligaments below the SMAS and reposition them. By minimizing skin elevation, I reduce tension on the skin, resulting in a quicker recovery time. The deep plane approach allows me to access and lift the underlying tissues without excessively manipulating or undermining the skin.

We Decided on The Following Surgical Game Plan:

Age: 78 years young
✅ Preservation Face & Neck Lift
✅ Upper Bleph
✅ Full Face CO2 Laser,
✅ Submandibular Gland Reduction
✅ Fat Grafting to Face
✅ Lip-Lift
Recovery: 3 Months Post-Op

The procedure typically takes 4–6 hours and is performed under 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, avoiding general anesthesia. Recovery varies and includes temporary swelling and bruising. She is now three months post-op and already showing beautiful improvement in contour, skin quality, and overall facial harmony. Joanne’s result reflects strategic planning, anatomical respect, and surgical restraint.

This is facial rejuvenation done right.

When researching their procedure, many of my patients come across stories of people experiencing tightness or a constricting feeling in their neck. There was a video circulating online recently of a woman discussing her recovery. She didn’t have much pain, but the tightness in her neck really bothered her.

Before I get into the anatomy, 𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡. However, just because something is normal doesn’t mean it can’t cause anxiety. All of my patients have access to my number, and we always have a member of my team checking in to make sure their recovery is going well. One of my tips for anyone getting an aesthetic procedure is: don’t be afraid to use the resources available to you. We want to help as much as we can. Our team has done this thousands of times, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to make your recovery as smooth as possible.

Now, let’s talk about the anatomy and why you feel that tightness in the first place. A neck lift removes excess skin, repositions and tightens the platysma muscle, and eliminates unwanted fat to restore youthful definition to the neck and jawline.

After the procedure, you may feel like you’re wearing a tight turtleneck fresh out of the wash, and for good reason. As we age, the muscles and deeper structures in the face and neck begin to sag. This procedure addresses those underlying tissues, repositioning them and returning them to a more youthful position. As the swelling goes down and the results continue to settle, that tight feeling will gradually subside.

Post-operative recovery can seem daunting, but you’ll never have to go through it alone. We’re here for you until the very last follow-up, and sometimes even longer than that.

In the world of facial aesthetics, the desire has shifted away from obvious transformation toward subtle refinement. People today seek balance, harmony, and results that appear effortless and natural. This evolution has given rise to a new standard in facial rejuvenation known as the “undetectable facelift.”

Darlene’s a model, and she felt a growing disconnect between how she felt and what she saw in the mirror. “My face has always been a big part of who I am… but in the mirror, I saw someone who looked tired.”

Rather than pulling the skin, the Preservation Deep Plane Facelift represents a true shift in facial rejuvenation, releasing the deeper retaining ligaments and repositioning the underlying structures of the face. The skin is minimally lifted, preserving its integrity and avoiding tension. The result is a refined jawline, a smooth neck, and a natural expression that moves effortlessly, without any visible signs of surgery.

Now, 3 years later, her jawline is still defined, her neck is smooth, and most importantly, she still looks like herself. She's still in front of the camera, confident as ever. Darlene describes her transformation as finding alignment, and the decision to have a facelift changed everything.

Although much of my practice is with women, some of my most dramatic transformations. The ones that make you go, "how did he manage to do that!?" come from my male patients, just like Jeff here.

Jeff is only 59 years old, strong, active, and energetic on the inside, but when he looked in the mirror, he saw the heaviness in his neck and tired eyes that do not reflect the outgoing and spirited guy he is. Men age differently, and surgical planning must respect masculine anatomy. With a Preservation Deep Plane Facelift, I reposition the deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening skin. This allows me to restore a sharper jawline and smoother neck while preserving natural hairlines, sideburn position, and masculine contours. The goal is not to feminize or change identity, but to create a result that is refreshed and undetectable.

His case did present an extra challenge, as Jeff has struggled with sleep apnea for many years and ended up getting an Inspire implant. Inspire is an FDA-approved, implanted neurostimulation device for sleep apnea patients who cannot use CPAP. This device moves the tongue forward to prevent airway obstruction and travels from the tongue into the neck area. Heading into this procedure, I had to make sure that I was extra careful, as in addition to all the usual precautions I take when doing deep plane neck work, I also had to account for this incredibly important device. If I did something to disrupt it, that would mean another surgery for my patient to repair it, and that was not an option.

After his facial rejuvenation, he still looks like himself, just stronger and more vibrant. I am grateful to Jeff for allowing me to share his journey and results.

His story is a reminder that aging well is not just for women. It is for anyone looking to find alignment between how you feel and how you look.

I know we’re already a few months into 2026, but better late than never, right? It feels like innovation is at an all-time high. From new devices that allow me to perform procedures with more grace to recovery modalities that are allowing my patients to feel good enough to go out just days after having a facelift, plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine have never been more advanced.

So how could it get any better than it already is? Well, these are my predictions for the trends that are going to define the rest of 2026 and likely 2027.

Undetectable Facelifts: There has already been a shift toward preservation techniques. Preservation rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and, of course, facelifts have been on the increase. Although completely different surgeries each share a common goal of a refreshed, natural appearance that avoids an “operated on” look.

Celebrity Transparency and Natural Identity: High-profile figures demonstrating subtle, balanced results are influencing a broader demand for authentic rejuvenation. Patients now prefer outcomes that preserve their individual identity rather than undergoing extreme makeovers.

Fat Grafting with PRP: Replacing lost facial volume with a patient’s own fat, enhanced by platelet-rich plasma (PRP), is increasingly popular. This approach is favored for improving volume, skin quality, and healing simultaneously.

Rejection of Overfilling and Aggressive Energy Devices: Patients are becoming more cautious regarding overfilled, distorted appearances caused by excessive fillers. Additionally, the popularity of radio frequency and high-heat energy devices is declining, as these treatments may lead to fat loss, skin thinning, and accelerated aging.

Peptides and Biohacking Recovery: The future of facial rejuvenation involves integrating surgery with supportive therapies, such as peptides, photobiomodulation, and hyperbaric therapy. These optimized protocols help patients reduce inflammation and heal more efficiently.
