How Can I Get A Better Jawline And Cheeks?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I want to achieve a stronger angler looking face and my stretch my face around the mouth area of my jowls which I feel are weak. I have considered a facelift, fat grafting and replacing my malar implants with a combined malar/ sub malar implant. What do you feel would be best to create better proportion.

A: If the goal is to get rid of the jowling with the same jawline then only a lower facelift approach will be effective. If a stronger jawline is desired then a custom jawline implant is needed which would probably negate the need for a facelift.

If you want to add volume to the gaunt submalar cheek region, a different type of cheek implant will be more effective with a sustained volume addition than fat grafting.
