71 year-old woman came to Dr. Chandler with the common complaint of aging changes around her mouth, especially the outer areas near the cheeks. This common target of the aging process often results in sagging of the lower face and causing the unpleasant reality of jowls. The definitive treatment would likely be a face lift, but many patients seek non-surgical ways to improve this area. She underwent Juvederm treatment with Dr. Chandler and has a very beautiful result. She was well aware that facial fillers like Juvederm are not a substitute for a full face lift. However, with reasonable expectations, she was very pleased with a nice improvement that looks natural and avoids a major operation. She has a significant reduction in the sagging appearance around the mouth. Filler in this area can be expected to last 6 months to 1 year. Dr. Chandler also suggests she consider lip enhancement in the future.
