Jowl Lifting at Grand Plastic Surgery targets one of the most common signs of facial aging—sagging along the jawline. Using advanced surgical and minimally invasive techniques, Grand restores a smooth, youthful jaw contour by tightening deeper tissues, lifting the lower face, and reducing heaviness around the mouth.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who want a cleaner, sharper jawline and a naturally rejuvenated lower face.

What Is Jowl Lifting?

Jowl lifting focuses specifically on correcting:

• Drooping tissue along the jawline
• Early to moderate jowls
• Lower-face heaviness
• Loss of jawline definition
• Sagging skin near the mouth or chin
• Blurred chin-to-jaw contour

Because jowls form as deeper facial support systems weaken, effective correction requires lifting the underlying SMAS layer—not just tightening the skin.

Why Jowl Lifting at Grand Plastic Surgery?

Grand is known for specialized lower-face lifting techniques that deliver:

• Natural, clean jawline definition
• Long-lasting structural lift
• Minimal scarring with well-hidden incisions
• Personalized approaches for different jawline types
• Safe tightening of deep facial layers
• Balanced, youthful lower-face shaping

Jowl lifting at Grand aims to restore natural facial proportions—not over-tighten or change your facial identity.

Jowl Lifting Options at Grand

Depending on the degree of sagging, Grand offers multiple solutions:

1. Mini Facelift for Jowls

Targets early jowls using shorter incisions and faster recovery.

2. SMAS / Deep-Layer Lower Facelift

Ideal for moderate sagging. Lifts deeper tissues to redefine the jawline.

3. Jawline Contouring With Elasticum (Elastic Band Lift)

Provides a strong, flexible lift with minimal incisions.

4. Thread Lifting (PDO, PLLA, PCL)

For early jowls needing mild to moderate elevation.

5. Neck or Chin Liposuction (Optional)

Used when jowls are worsened by under-chin fullness.

6. HIFU / RF Lifting

Non-surgical tightening that improves mild jowls and skin laxity.

A combination approach is common for sharper, longer-lasting results.

How Jowl Lifting Works

Although each plan is tailored, the general steps include:

1. Tightening the SMAS Layer

The deep facial support layer responsible for jowl formation is lifted upward.

2. Repositioning Lower-Face Tissues

Sagging tissues near the jawline are elevated for a smoother contour.

3. Sculpting the Jawline

Fat and tissue heaviness are reduced or tightened for definition.

4. Redraping the Skin

The skin naturally follows the lifted structure, avoiding unnatural tightness.

5. Optional Fat Removal

Under-chin or jawline liposuction enhances angles and reduces heaviness.

This creates a refined, youthful, and balanced jawline.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Jowl lifting is ideal for individuals with:

• Early or moderate jowls
• Lower-face heaviness
• Blurred jawline contour
• Sagging near the mouth or chin
• Mild neck laxity
• Desire for natural anti-aging without dramatic change

Suitable for patients in their 30s–60s depending on skin laxity and facial structure.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery depends on whether the approach is surgical or non-surgical.

Surgical Jowl Lift

• Days 1–3: Mild swelling, tightness
• 1 week: Stitch removal
• 2–3 weeks: Improved contour appears

Thread/HIFU/RF Lifting

Most patients resume routine activities quickly.

Jowl Lifting vs. Other Procedures

Jowl Lifting vs. HIFU

• Jowl lifting: direct tissue repositioning
• HIFU: non-invasive tightening
