If you’ve started to notice sagging skin or a soft fold forming along your jawline or lower cheeks, you may be developing what’s commonly known as jowls. At Symmetry Clinic, we provide advanced saggy jowls treatment to restore a firmer, smoother and more defined facial contour.
Led by Consultant Nasal and Facial Plastic Surgeon Mr Santdeep Paun, one of the UK’s leading experts in facial rejuvenation, we offer tailored jowls treatment plans and jowl lift surgery designed specifically for the lower face and jaw.
With state-of-the-art facilities in Harley Street and The Shard, London, we welcome patients from across the UK and abroad, providing discreet, surgeon-led care and concierge support for a seamless journey from consultation to recovery.
What Are Jowls on the Face?
Jowls are the soft, sagging folds of skin that appear along the jawline and lower cheeks. They develop gradually as collagen and elastin fibres in the skin weaken and the underlying tissues lose support. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, gravity and lifestyle habits can accelerate their formation.
In some people, jowls are subtle, creating a mild heaviness around the chin. In others, they are more pronounced, altering the definition between the face and neck. Regardless of their severity, sagging jowls can make people feel older or less defined around the lower face, often changing how they see their overall appearance.
At Symmetry Clinic, our goal is to restore balance, firmness and a natural contour to the jawline through safe, precise and individually tailored treatments. Our focus is always on helping patients feel refreshed and confident in their appearance again.

How Can Sagging Jowls Be Treated?
Sagging jowls can be treated effectively through a range of procedures that address the underlying causes of skin laxity, tissue descent and loss of definition along the jawline. At Symmetry Clinic, we use advanced surgical techniques that deliver natural, balanced and long-lasting results tailored to your individual facial structure.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Lower facelift – Also called jowl lift surgery, this involves lifting and tightening the deeper facial tissues to smooth and redefine the jawline
- Neck lift (platysmaplasty) – Restoring firmness to the neck and lower face by tightening muscles and removing loose skin
- Fat contouring or liposuction – Refining the jawline by reducing excess fullness in the lower face
- Chin or jawline enhancement – Occasionally using implants or structural adjustments to restore balance and harmony
These procedures are often combined for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and may be performed alongside other treatments such as eyelid surgery or upper facelift for a seamless, natural result. Patients can view sagging jowls before and after photos during consultation to understand potential outcomes.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Saggy Jowls Treatment?
Saggy jowls treatment is suitable for both men and women who have noticed a loss of definition along the jawline or lower face. Ideal candidates are those who want to restore a firmer, smoother contour while maintaining a natural and balanced appearance.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have visible sagging or loose skin around the jawline or lower cheeks
- Notice early jowl formation that affects facial shape
- Feel your jawline looks less defined than before
- Have mild to moderate tissue laxity or heaviness in the lower face
- Want long-lasting, natural results from a surgeon-led facial treatment
Most patients seeking sagging jawline treatment are between their 40s and 70s, but age is less important than factors such as skin elasticity, bone structure and general health. During your consultation, Mr Santdeep Paun will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the most appropriate jowls treatment to meet your individual goals.
What Is the Cost of Jowl Surgery?
The cost of jowl surgery at Symmetry Clinic depends on the complexity of your case and whether it is combined with other procedures, such as a neck lift or facelift. Each treatment plan is individually designed to achieve natural, balanced results.
A detailed quotation is provided after your consultation with Mr Santdeep Paun, which includes advanced 3D facial imaging and assessment. The consultation fee is £275 and your quote covers all surgical, hospital and anaesthetist costs, plus follow-up care.
For patients travelling from outside London, concierge support services and flexible payment plans are available through our admitting hospitals.
What to Expect: From Consultation to Recovery
Your jowl surgery journey at Symmetry Clinic is carefully managed from the first consultation to full recovery, ensuring professional, personalised and discreet care throughout.
Consultation
You’ll meet Mr Santdeep Paun at either our Harley Street or Shard location to discuss your concerns, goals and medical history. He will assess your skin laxity, facial structure and the degree of sagging along the jawline to determine the most effective approach. Advanced 3D imaging will be used to help visualise potential results and guide your treatment plan.
Depending on your needs, Mr Paun may recommend a lower facelift, neck lift, or a combination of procedures for optimal jawline definition and facial balance.
Procedure
Jowl surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and typically takes between two and three hours. Incisions are carefully placed around the ears and along natural creases to minimise visibility. The deeper facial tissues are lifted and tightened, excess fat may be reduced or repositioned to improve contour and any loose skin is trimmed and smoothed before closure with fine sutures. In some cases, chin or jawline enhancement may be included to further refine the lower face.
Recovery
Most patients return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Dressings are usually removed within 24 to 48 hours. Swelling and bruising are common during the first two weeks and gradually improve over time. Patients typically resume social and work activities within two to three weeks. Full results are most visible between three and six months as the tissues settle naturally.
Our team provides structured aftercare, including regular follow-up appointments and detailed recovery guidance, to ensure your comfort and the best possible outcome.
Results
Saggy jowls treatment produces a firmer, smoother and more defined jawline with a natural transition between the face and neck. As healing progresses, the improvements become more refined, restoring a refreshed, well-balanced appearance that ages gracefully over time.
