Jowls

Jowls refer to the sagging or loss of definition along the lower jawline, often becoming more noticeable with age. Changes in collagen, elastin, facial fat distribution and skin elasticity can all contribute to their appearance.


Jowls can be less noticeable in people who have thicker skin, more collagen, or more fat in the area below the chin and cheeks. Some may never develop jowls, because of their genes, lifestyle choices and environmental factors.

What can cause jowls?

  • Loss of elastin and collagen
  • Genetics
  • Environmental and lifestyle factors
  • Facial expressions
  • Smoking
  • Sun exposure
  • Weight loss
