Jowls and jawline

[dementedma]

I am 56 and these last 12 months my face has melted. Deep grooves from nose to mouth, and saggy jowls and chins. It’s so noticeable on Zoom calls and is really ageing.
I am trying to lose weight and also cut down alcohol, but what is the best way to try and tighten things up - with a fairly limited budget. I’ve never had fillers or stuff like that but reading up on it, this seems to be an option. Can anyone advise , especially on what to avoid!

Me too...hoping someone comes along with suggestions.

I'm not sure that losing weight helps. My dm lost weight when she was in middle age and it made her face sag even more!

Korugi face massage, I do this 3 times a week using Rose oil, Face looks like after a facial and over the last 12 months has replaced a monthly CACI treatment, and it’s free.

There isn't a miracle fix unfortunately. You're looking at a deep plane facelift or fillers for a less radical but more subtle effect.

Ultherapy?

I find castor oil really helps. I apply it on my lower cheeks at night and my neck using a make up brush. It’s really quite thick and sticky. It’s also the only thing that I’ve found that shifts my dark under eye circles and puffiness.

It costs about £4 for a bottle. I put it on about an hour before bed and by the time I’m going to bed, it’s sunk in a bit.

I’ve used really expensive creams in the past and tried various ‘face lift’ facials, and castor oil works better for me. Helps tighten and lift. I usually see a difference in the morning.

Maybe worth a try?

Can you recommend a particular castor oil please AngelinaJoliestoplip?

Ultherapy?

Nooooooooo. Google reviews.

Botox ?

Using a jade roller has tightened mine up significantly. I put my serum on , use my roller paying extra attention to my jowls. I've seen a difference within weeks

I had a lower face and neck lift. It has taken 10 years off me. I was really nervous as I've never done botox, fillers etc. and I'm not vain, but my face didn't look like me anymore and I'd lost a lot of confidence. I'll definitely have it done again.

I also had a lower face lift which made an amazing difference when I was 55. Even when I weighed 7 stone and was a beanpole I had never had a proper jaw line and as I got older it became worse. I will get it done again when the time comes without a doubt. Money well spent.

How much were your lower facelifts, Super and Moor, if you don't mind me asking?

I paid £3,800 for mine 3 years ago. Mine was actually what's called a modified one stitch lift.

Here's my before and after...

That’s a fantastic result!
I’m 45 and watching my “pre-jowls” with trepidation

@Othering ohhh okay my bad. Just looked it up. Only ever heard of it in passing. Apparently it can speed up aging? and the price?! Might as well get a big fuck off surgical face lift for that money

Just looked what up? What can speed up ageing?

Proper facelifts with specialists are very expensive. £15k plus.

Oh you mean ultherapy!! Sorry. Brain fart on my behalf there!! Yes, lots of bad reports of losing fat and looking even older.

Wow @SuperHighway !
Jawline envy

Ha ha, to be fair, that was taken not long after and things were very 'tight'. This is me now, and I've just realised it will be 4 years in March I had it done. Still pretty good.....

I use prai ageless throat and decolletage cream just under my chin. It works for me. Its not cheap but its probably cheaper than a facelift.

Wow that's amazing!

@SuperHighway great results! Was it a big procedure? Where did you get it?

@SuperHighway how did you go about finding someone reliable?
