As we gracefully age, the prominence of jowls can become a common concern for both women and men. Many individuals consider invasive facial surgeries such as a facelift, to address this issue.
At Bella Plastic Surgery, our mission is simple: we aim to offer less invasive, non-surgical treatment alternatives that deliver a natural aesthetic result.

Cost depends on the area treated, product or device used, and the number of sessions required to reach the desired result. Dr Dona will provide a tailored quote during your consultation.
Jowls typically occur as a result of several factors:
We use a range of non-surgical treatments to tighten the skin and contour the lower face region.
The most immediate results can be seen when we administer volumising product in front of, and around the jowls, to ‘conceal’ the jowls. These products provide instant results, without the need for surgical intervention.
The products used in the jowl treatment vary, containing different consistencies which are often broken down into three main categories:
These products are made from complex sugar molecules that naturally occur in your body and bind with water to support your skin and increase volume.
At Bella Plastic Surgery, we use only the highest quality products to achieve long-lasting results.
The treatment time can vary however, the treatment generally takes one and a half hours. Please include an additional 60 minutes to pre-numb the area prior to treatment.
Before your jowl treatment, topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to alleviate discomfort. In addition, the product contains local anaesthetic which will help numb the treated area, providing even more added comfort throughout your treatment.
Following the procedure, there is usually some transient redness and swelling, which will dissipate with a week or so following treatment. Depending on the skin sensitivity of the patient, there may also be some bruising, which usually takes a week or two to clear. Makeup can be worn after 24 hours post-treatment, and we will recommend the best types of makeup to use.
