How to Get Rid of Sagging Jowls from a Dermatologist! 2024 | Dr. Shereene Idriss

Thank you doctor for this video. I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging as much as possible, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. However, nothing made any real difference compared to the high-quality derma pen I purchased for around 100 bucks. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 18 again, but definitely not 44 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (Never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.

Getting older may not be pretty but it’s a gift of time at least. Many don’t get to get old

I'm definitely more worried about jowls than forehead lines

To be honest what really helped my jowls was lifting heavy weights at the gym. Especially upper body work outs. I shredded fat and my face became more contoured and even improved double chin. Nobody talks about that. I think when you lift heavy you automatically clench your jaw so thats why it helps.

Oh, just wait until you ladies hit 52. That's the big one. My facial aging in my 20s, 30s, and 40s was honestly kinda cool and empowering (and also largely dealwithable with makeup, at-home devices, etc.). But holy shitballs, the 52 year old jump-scare in the mirror is insaaaane. Menopause is no joke.

I have jowls & my mother did as well. I asked a cosmetic surgeon what he could do to help me with Botox & fillers at age 66 — he told me that ship had sailed…only surgery would help!! 🤨 I’m 72 now & I just concentrate on my skin and keeping it looking as good as possible. It is, what it is. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I am 50. If I cut my refined carbs and stay away from alcohol, my face is dramatically less puffy and jowls are less noticeable. Daily lymphatic and face massage is also helpful.

I really love the philosophy "if not for health, do it for vanity's sake". It really motivates me to have a healthier lifestyle haha

I wish aging was praised, that the jowls, wrinkles and crepey skin was something the young envied and looked forward to. Why aren’t we celebrating aging? It’s literally a privilege and not all get to experience these changes. Wouldn’t the world and life as women be so much less stressful if we weren’t always battling our own bodies? Sign. Just makes me sad inside.

My mother used to do facial exercises when I was a little girl in the 70s. My little brother and I used to crack up watching her. But let me tell you she looked great for her age

I’m 48 now & I had jowls in my early 40’s. I started using micro current & red,green & blue light therapy. My jowls went away!!! You have learned so much about skin care from you!!

Ladies, dont underestimate the power of good posture, as well as face yoga. I reduced my double chin and firmed up my jawline drastically by doing that. A lot of us have tight necks with shortening of the platysma muscle that pulls your face down, especially lip corners. Your skin and muscles are very responsive, so dont feel disempowered. The beauty industry fear-momgers a lot. How is it that you can work out your body but from the chin upwards yoi can't? Just as you have to do body exercises properly so you don't hurt yourself, same is true for face exercises. Edited to add: I tried posting more info below but those comments were deleted. I'd add the info here, but then this will probably get deleted, too. Do your own research folks and always have a healthy skepticism of big industries.

I did not notice much change before the age of fifty. Everybody always thought I was 15 years younger than I was. Then after fifty it went south realy quickly.

I'm 25 and do not have sagging jowls but I'll watch the video just because it's Dr. Idriss

thank you for talking like a normal person and not a youtuber

I’m in my mid 50’s I have Jowls. I have accepted and embraced aging and I couldn’t be happier. Also, what other people think of me is none of my business which makes me even happier 😊

Ok so let me give my 2 cents: I am 49, very active, lifting weights, lean, eating healthy, doing all the right things, etc. Have tried all the treatments, everything (massage, fillers, pdo, dermaroller, etc.) . Currently I am 20 days post-op deep plane facelift, so I can tell you: NOTHING lifts your jowls other than surgery. You can mask it with fillers, you can do thread lifting that lasts for few weeks, you can do Sculptra that will ultimately ruin your face and chances of a successful surgery, lift weights, you can do everything that will take money from your pocket - it will all be a waste of time. I am so glad I had the courage to go throught with it finally!!! And just 1 more thought: surgery results are very natural and actually does give you a younger face - compared to all the derm jowl-treatments that alter the face in time, not in a good way (puffy pillowface) I think it is beneficial to leave the lifting to the surgeons, and the skin issues to the derms. A derm can give you beautiful wrinkle-free skin, but will never lift your jowls or face.

I think that was one of the most helpful video you’ve ever done! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us, it’s truly appreciated. I’m in that early 40’s stage where I don’t recognize myself anymore too and it helps to know I’m not the only one feeling depressed by it ❤

I just came across your channel. I like the way you stick to the point, and it's full of information without you dragging on, or going off topic. I subscribed with no hesitation!

I just enjoy the way you explain things, plain and simple. You are very open and honest, and your humor is a pleasure coming from someone in your profession. Thank you 🙂
