It is a single-speaker, informational cosmetic-dermatology clip in which Dr. Shereen Idris explains three non-surgical ways to improve jowls: 1) skin tightening using ultrasound or radiofrequency devices (Ulthera, Morpheus, 8FL, Thermage, Vivace, etc.), 2) restoring facial volume with fillers to create a lifting optical illusion, and 3) addressing jawline bone/volume loss with denser fillers such as Radiesse. The speaker also advises seeing a well-qualified provider to avoid complications.

And I'm not ready for a full facelift. I'm pretty happy with how I'm aging, but is this the dreaded jowls? Let's go. I'm Dr. Shereen Idris, a cosmetic dermatologist and here are three ways you can help yourself without having to undergo surgery, especially for this area. The jowls are due to three main issues. Number one is skin laxity and you want to address this by tightening your skin, that is using ultrasound or radio frequency based devices like Ulthera, Morpheus, 8FL, Thermage, Vivace, you name it. Just make sure you go to a really well qualified person so they don't melt too much fat. Number two is your overall volume in your face. As we get wiser in life, we start to lose volume and things start to drop. So fillers can help create an optical illusion by lifting and minimizing the overall look of a sag. And number three is your bone structure, which we cannot do much for because as we get older and wiser, our jawline shrinks and starts to recede. Various fillers that have a higher density like Radiesse, can help to give you more of a definition along your jawline and pull back.
