Jowls are the areas of tissue that can start to sit lower on either side of your chin. You might notice your jawline looks less defined, or that the lower part of your face feels a little heavier than before.
They aren’t necessarily excess fat, and they’re different from a double chin. Skin laxity and changes in facial support can both contribute. If your cheeks also look flatter, our volume loss page may help explain the connection. We’ll talk you through what applies to you.
Over time, skin becomes less firm and the support beneath it changes too. Facial fat, bone and the tissues holding everything in place all play a part in the shape of the lower face.
Genetics, sun exposure, smoking and weight changes can influence how noticeable this becomes. We’ll look at the whole picture rather than assume that tightening the skin or adding volume is always the answer.
Addressing your concerns can feel daunting when you have never visited a clinic before or you're not sure which treatments you need. At Facebox London, you will not be expected to know any terminology or make a decision before you feel ready. Our goal is to make you as comfortable as possible.
Facebox London is based in Leytonstone, London, providing treatments in a private, welcoming clinic setting, with free parking nearby. The location is convenient for clients travelling from nearby areas including:
Milder changes may respond to suitable treatments, but a non-surgical option won’t give the same result as a facelift. We’ll be honest if the amount of loose skin or tissue movement needs a surgical opinion instead.
It depends on your skin and what’s contributing. HIFU focuses on tightening at selected depths, while RF microneedling also works on texture and skin quality. We’ll explain which is more relevant to your lower face.
No. Profhilo Structura is an injectable for particular changes in facial fat and support; HIFU uses ultrasound to encourage tightening. You don’t need to choose between them yourself. We’ll explain whether either makes sense for you.
Changes usually build over weeks to months rather than appearing straight away. The timeline depends on your treatment and starting point. We’ll talk through the likely pace, whether a course is needed and the level of improvement to expect.
