The formation of jowls, or the tissue that sags below the jawline, is a natural consequence of aging for many people. Though we may recognize that time and its accompanying effects are often inevitable, these changes do not have to be permanent.
With carefully placed filler for jowls, the skilled injectors at Ona Skincare can gently rebuild volume and structure to reestablish proportion and definition along your jawline.

Why Jowls Form
So, why do unwanted jowls tend to develop along the chin and jawline as we get older? The answer might not be as simple as you think. For many people, we can attribute the sagging lower face to a combination of factors.
Over the years, our skin’s fibrous collagen and elastin structure naturally breaks down. Without this framework, the tissue becomes less firm and elastic, prone to falling into folds and wrinkles rather than hugging the contours of your face.
The bony composition of the face also changes, receding and remodeling with age. As this bony structure diminishes, our facial muscles and fat pads also have to rearrange themselves.
These muscles, similarly weakening over time, might start to droop when they lose this support. As the cushion-like fat pads that once gave our cheeks, temples, and undereyes a plump, youthful appearance redistribute with the facial skeleton, they might reposition beneath the chin and around the jawbone.
Altogether, the aging process can reshape the face entirely, steadily drooping from a formerly diamond, heart-shaped, ovular, or triangle shape to form a square-shaped visage. As your features shift, it can create changes you might not recognize in the mirror.
How We Treat Jowls
At Ona Skincare, we often use dermal and biostimulating jowl filler near Brentwood to reduce the appearance of sagging cheeks, sharpen the jawline, and restore youthful proportions to the face.
Your expert injector can tailor your treatment plan based on your facial anatomy, skin aging concerns, and aesthetic goals.
When introducing volume to the lower face to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls, our providers often use Juvederm or Restylane formulas. The hyaluronic acid gel blend immediately lifts the skin, increasing volume upon injection to strengthen and reshape the jawline as desired.
Your provider can also administer biostimulating fillers like Sculptra or Radiesse for patients interested in deep structural volume. As the active ingredients in your biostimulating filler trigger renewed collagen and elastin production around the injection site, your skin progressively—and naturally—evens out the look of crepey or sagging tissue.
