If we think of our faces as being dissected into thirds, the upper face includes the forehead and stops at the eyes, the mid face includes from the eyes down to the top lip, and the lower face includes the area from the bottom lip downwards; incorporating the jaw, chin and marionette area.
As we age we may notice that our lower face starts to change. These lower face changes include skin laxity, sagging skin and losing structure and volume. If you are noticing these changes in your lower face, you may be wondering if there are any treatments that can help to tighten, firm and rejuvenate this area.
Dermal fillers
Ar Dr Pierre Zakhour in Al Khobar we treat many patients who are concerned about the look of their lower faces. Dermal fillers are often a good choice to treat these areas since they offer quick and dramatic results; helping patients to feel an improved sense of confidence straight after their treatment.
What areas of the lower face can we treat with dermal fillers?
Jaw fillers, chin fillers and marionette line fillers can all be used to detract from an ageing lower face.
Marionette lines
The marionette lines start at the corners of the mouth and run downwards towards the chin. As we age these lines can get deeper and can make us look older or even give the impression we are sad, when we might not be. Dermal filler can be used to gently smooth and soften marionette lines with fantastic anti-ageing results.
Chin filler
Chin filler can help with many concerns of ageing. If you feel your chin is receding with age or becoming less smooth and more dimpled or if you have a chin cleft; dermal filler can be used to rectify these concerns. Used in conjunction with jaw fillers, chin filler can help to create a more balanced profile, which can also add structure to an ageing face.
Jaw filler
Dermal fillers in the jaw can be used to help reduce the look of sagging and lax skin on the lower face. Jawline fillers often differ to the types of dermal filler that are used in other areas of the face, as they are designed to offer greater structural enhancement, making them a good choice for treating skin laxity and giving the facial profile a tighter looking effect.
