How to get rid of sagging jowls with dermal fillers?

What causes jowls?

Jowls appear when the skin begins to sag along the jawline, usually with age. In our mid twenties, our skin slows production of collagen and elastin, two important nutrients that strengthen and support our skin. Over time, the skin becomes thinner and the fat layer, muscles and even bones that support our face structure decline creating hollows and changing the shape of our face. The lost volume in our cheeks causes the skin to sag along the jawline creating jowls.

How can I tighten jowls?
