Jowls are as a result of aging as gravity pulls the fat from the face into the neck, and occurs when the skin on the face sags below the jaw line. The age at which your jowls may begin to sag is dependent on a few factors; they include skin type, genetics, and facial muscles. Jowls are a natural part of aging and when they begin to sag it can result in a change of the face shape There are several methods which can be used to reduce or eliminate jowls and they range from plastic surgery to exercise.

There are non-surgical methods such as skin grafting and wrinkle fillers. Certain things can prevent the onset of jowls such as lifestyle choices in that of getting a lot of sleep, drinking a lot of water, frequent chemical peels and sleeping on your back. It has been observed when a person prefers sleeping on a specific side, that side will have more sagging and wrinkling than the other.
While there are products which can accomplish the same such as sunblock containing Zinc Oxide, Alpha Hydroxy acids, and antioxidants. Plastic surgery can help to erase jowls by having a facelift, or cervicoplasty which is a method of removing excess skin from under the neck area. Or a combination of liposuction and cervicoplasty where the liposuction will remove the fat pockets in the jowls. The face has more than 50 muscles in the face and neck area: exercise is required to keep that area looking good. While plastic surgery may be a quicker option, one can consider exercise as it is cheaper; however, takes a longer time and requires dedication.
