As we age, our perioral region (mouth area), can be one of the most visible signs of aging, along with loose jawline skin (known as our jowls) – these signs of aging can lead individuals to choose a traditional surgical facelift, which results in an extended ‘downtime’ and associated permanent scarring.
At Bella Plastic Surgery we offer an alternative non-surgical treatment focuses on the lower face, to soften lines around the mouth, conceal the lower jowls and strength the lower jawline.
Our Non-Surgical Lower Facelift treatment involves the precise placement of high-quality products into specific lower facial areas. We assess your facial characteristics and take a non-surgical approach, to address your concerns.
Our techniques will soften fine lines and poor skin texture issues around the mouth, ‘hide’ unwanted jowls, and provide a more well-structured and more contoured lower face.
