Mid-Face Jowling

Mid-face jowling is a common aesthetic concern that can create a heavier, sagging, or less defined appearance through the cheeks and lower face. It occurs when there is a gradual loss of collagen, elastin, and underlying facial support, combined with the downward shift of fat pads in the mid-face area. This process is influenced by ageing, genetics, and skin laxity, leading to a softening of the cheek contour and the formation of early jowls along the jawline. As a result, the face may appear less lifted, with reduced definition between the cheeks and jawline, often contributing to a more tired or aged appearance.

This concern is commonly associated with terms such as mid-face sagging, early jowls, jowl formation, loss of jawline definition, cheek sagging, and lower face laxity.
