How to Tighten the Jawline and Lower Face Without Surgery
Yes. Patients looking to address sagging or aging skin along the jawline and lower face have more options today than ever, from daily skincare habits to advanced in-office treatments, including MyEllevate®, a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional neck lift.
Why the Lower Face Ages Differently
Skin along the jawline and lower face is thinner than skin elsewhere on the face, which means it tends to show sun damage, fine lines, and laxity earlier. Sunscreen and a consistent skincare routine are the first line of defense, improving overall skin quality and slowing further damage.
Non-Surgical Treatments for the Neck Worth Knowing About
Beyond skincare, two non-surgical options are commonly used to improve skin quality and tightness in this area:
- Sofwave: an FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment that lifts skin beneath the chin, builds collagen, and improves fine lines and wrinkles over time.
- Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF): improves the texture and quality of the skin’s surface.
These treatments work well for patients in the earlier stages of aging, or for those maintaining results after a procedure.
MyEllevate: A Minimally Invasive Alternative to a Traditional Neck Lift
For patients who need more than skincare or energy-based devices can offer, but aren’t ready for the incisions and downtime of a traditional neck lift, MyEllevate has become one of the most talked-about options for rejuvenating the jawline and lower face. Performed under local anesthesia, MyEllevate delivers results that last for years, addressing the underlying structures beneath the skin rather than just the surface.
Dr. Gregory Mueller, the board-certified facial plastic surgeon who created MyEllevate, describes the goal this way: “It’s a great solution that addresses the underlying structures of the skin and the skin itself, lifting and approximating them.” The result, he notes, is immediate and significant, with minimal scarring and a far less invasive experience than a traditional neck lift.
MyEllevate is often paired with energy-based skin tightening treatments like Sofwave, Renuvion, Attiva, or FaceTite, as well as microneedling with RF. Combining these approaches improves skin quality and reduces laxity, enhancing and prolonging the results of the procedure itself.
