What Is a Lower Face Lift?

A Lower Face Lift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the lower third of the face, particularly the jawline, lower cheeks, and jowl area.

As we age, gravity, collagen loss, and weakening of the facial support structures cause the tissues to descend, resulting in:

• Jowls
• Sagging lower cheeks
• Blurred jawline
• Marionette lines
• Mild to moderate skin laxity
• Loss of facial definition
• Early lower facial aging

Unlike a full facelift that also addresses the neck and midface, a Lower Face Lift specifically focuses on restoring youthful definition to the lower face.

A Lower Face Lift can improve:

• Jowls
• Sagging lower cheeks
• Marionette lines
• Loss of jawline definition
• Mild skin laxity
• Lower facial heaviness
• Early facial aging
• Overall facial balance

Depending on your anatomy, the procedure may utilize SMAS or Deep Plane lifting techniques to achieve the most natural and durable results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A Lower Face Lift may be recommended for patients who have:

• Mild to moderate jowls
• Sagging lower cheeks
• Loss of jawline definition
• Marionette lines
• Mild skin laxity
• Good overall health
• Good skin elasticity
• Patients seeking natural lower facial rejuvenation

Most candidates are typically in their 40s through 60s, although suitability depends on facial anatomy and the degree of aging rather than age alone.

Benefits of a Lower Face Lift

Restore a Defined Jawline

The procedure lifts descended tissues to recreate a sharper, more youthful jawline.

Reduce Jowls

Repositioning the deeper facial structures significantly improves jowl formation and lower facial heaviness.

Improve Marionette Lines

Lifting the lower cheeks naturally softens marionette lines around the corners of the mouth.

Natural-Looking Results

Rather than simply tightening the skin, the procedure restores youthful facial anatomy while preserving normal facial expressions.

Long-Lasting Rejuvenation

By lifting the deeper support structures of the face, results remain durable and continue to age naturally.

Personalized Surgical Planning

Every Lower Face Lift is customized according to the patient's facial anatomy.

Your surgeon carefully evaluates:

• Skin elasticity
• Degree of jowls
• Jawline definition
• SMAS support
• Facial volume loss
• Marionette lines
• Neck involvement
• Overall facial harmony

Many patients achieve the best results by combining a Lower Face Lift with neck lift, facial liposuction, fat grafting, chin augmentation, upper or lower blepharoplasty, or skin rejuvenation treatments.

Lower Face Lift vs. Mini Facelift vs. Full Facelift

Each procedure addresses different stages of facial aging.

Lower Face Lift

• Focuses on the jawline and lower cheeks
• Improves jowls and marionette lines
• Creates a sharper facial contour
• Best for moderate lower facial aging

Mini Facelift

• Less extensive lifting
• Smaller areas of correction
• Faster recovery
• Ideal for early facial aging with mild skin laxity

Full Facelift

• Rejuvenates the midface, jawline, and neck
• Corrects more advanced facial aging
• Addresses multiple facial regions simultaneously
• Best for moderate to advanced aging

Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on your anatomy and treatment goals.
