Jowl Filler explained
Jowls form when tissue along the lower face sags, creating a dip between the chin and the jaw. Jowl filler fills this dip, called the pre-jowl sulcus, so the jawline looks straighter. It is often combined with jawline filler or lifting treatments.
How Jowl Filler works
A firmer hyaluronic acid filler or a collagen stimulator is placed deep, near the bone, in the hollow in front of the jowl and sometimes along the jaw. This makes the jawline line more even. It does not remove jowl fat or tighten skin, so for heavier sagging, HIFU, RF or thread lifts are usually added or used instead.
