LowerFace

The lower face is broadly defined as everything below the nose — encompassing the lips, the perioral region (around the mouth), the cheeks (lower third), the chin, the jawline, and the submandibular area (under the jaw). It is the most expressive and structurally complex region of the face, and also the one that shows the earliest and most significant signs of ageing.

Key Zones of the Lower Face

Lips & perioral area

The lips and surrounding skin. Prone to vertical lines ("smoker's lines"), volume loss, and downturned corners with age. High movement zone.

Nasolabial folds

Lines running from the nose corners to mouth corners. Deepened by fat pad descent and loss of midface support. One of the first visible signs of lower face ageing.

Marionette lines

Lines from the mouth corners downward to the chin. Caused by tissue descent and muscle pull, giving a downturned, sad expression at rest.

Chin & pre-mental area

The central chin prominence. Contains the pre-mental fat pad. Can appear recessed, dimpled, or develop a "cobblestone" texture from mentalis muscle hyperactivity.

Jawline & jowls

The mandibular border and the jowl fat pad. Sagging here creates the classic jowling effect — loss of a defined jaw-to-neck transition that ages the entire face.

Submental area (double chin)

The area beneath the chin and above the neck. Accumulates fat and loose skin with age or genetics, creating a double chin that is resistant to diet and exercise.

Step-by-step Procedure

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers restore lost volume, define the jawline and chin, and soften facial lines—providing a non-surgical lower face rejuvenation with natural-looking results.

Botox — Lower face & Nefertiti Lift

Botox in the lower face relaxes targeted muscles to create a subtle lifting effect, improve jawline definition, soften mouth lines, and smooth chin texture with precise, non-surgical treatment.

Kybella / Deoxycholic Acid Injections

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that permanently reduces double chin fat by breaking down fat cells, with gradual results developing over several weeks.

PDO Thread Lift

PDO thread lifts are a minimally invasive treatment that lifts sagging lower face skin, improves jawline definition, and stimulates collagen for gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Ultherapy / Sofwave

HIFU is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that targets deep tissue layers to stimulate collagen, lift sagging skin, and improve facial contours with gradual results.

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency treatments tighten loose skin by stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, jawline definition, and lower face firmness with non-surgical rejuvenation.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing

Fractional laser treatments resurface the skin and boost collagen, improving fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and skin texture with noticeable rejuvenation.
