Sagging Jowls

BunSnoop · ‎05-22-2010

I'm 55 and the jowls are starting to sag. Saw on u-tube that it you gently hit your face with the back of your hands this helps to bring blood to that area, stimulate it and lessens the amount of sag.

Help...have any of you tried anything that worked for you for sagging jowls that is not too expensive? Thank you.

Seriously hutchill, nothing will permanently help with sagging jowls but a face lift. Gravity is hard to overcome and anything less than surgery, is not going to last or be that rewarding.

That's the cold, hard truth - no over the counter product or wishful thinking will help.

Adrienne from Signature Club A was selling scaffolding the other night. I was hoping someone would try it out, and report back on how it worked.

Seriously, I have the same problem. Retinol is helping with some wrinkles, but doing nothing for the sagging. Sigh.....

There are new (and ever newer) laser treatments such as Thermage that tighten skin but like most procedures that actually work, there are tradeoffs; in this case, pain, cost, and down time.

It costs nothing, or little, to go see a dermatologist and weigh your options!

My friends always say, the best thing about aging is that we are all going through it together! Whenever I see the life something or other commercial where the before picture, everyone looks a hundred years old and magically they now look 35, I wonder what that would be like. The problem is, some of those models don' t look normal or even good after the procedure and that keeps me away. We call the Botox group "Apple heads". So many ladies are overdoing it a bit and also start looking odd. When done within reason, fillers like botox and the others can make you look really nice. Key is never overdo it! Also get a trusted specialist.

My jowls are not quite there yet, but I do see his droopy eye lids in my future.

gravity wins every time! lose of muscle tone over time plus gravity equals everything headed downhill. face lift is the only fix. I saw my plastic surgeon last week for my injections in my smile lines and told him I was seriously considering the face lift option. I am 66 and jowls headed south. He was kind enough to say that he didn't think I was ready for it yet but I did find out that total cost would be about $12,000 for his fee, surgery center fee and anethesiologist.
