When I was in my 40's I started to do neck exercises. I am now 67 and do not have jowling. It's easy, drop your head back and open and close your mouth several times. You can also do a big smile and relax. You will notice this tightens your neck area. I don't even have wrinkles on my neck. It works, give it a try.

I'm a pianist who works with a lot of opera singers, most of them don't have jowls, or very little even after 50, 60.. I am convinced after having witnessed the training, breathing and vocal exercises that this has evidently had an impact and these are singers who've been singing professionally from their twenties. This has to have an effect on their cranium structure, (?), their facial muscles and so on.

That's a good outlook to have 😊 ...also many ppl are dealing with severer health problems that will also reflect on the quality, integrity of the skin... Been dealing with chronic health problems for over 10 years, and it doesn't matter what I do for the skin, it will not heal, damages won't reverse, tried many creams, I just react to everything... If my health internally is sick, how can your skin recover? It has to be an inside job first, then the outside will reflect the inside . The skin is usually the last to be restored once ur health is restored. I'm still praying for my miracles to come... I've seen God deliver me from Lyme, so now I'm praying for full recovery, I pray one day soon 😊. For those who have healthy immune systems, it's nothing for them to have skin bounce back, but for those who have severer compromised immune system, it's sad to watch your life, health, skin deteriorate 😢... God bless you, may he keep your skin looking youthful no matter what age and to be in good health 😊

I had a facelift eight years ago. I'm now 68. The jowling came back after two years. It's a curse. However, last year, I did undergo fat removal from my jowls. It made a big difference. Don't do the facelift, do the fat removal (liposuction). The surgeon uses a thin cannula and removes the fat as he would on your tummy or thighs. I'm happy with the before and after.

Until 2 years before her passing, she was always smiling and laughing. People loved her. She was magnetic. She never felt “invisable”. She was beautiful. Smile. It does wonders for your facial muscle tone.

I have spent money on fillers over the years, and Juvederm has helped the marionette lines, but my jowls continue to make my face resemble a hounddog. Recently, I went to a new dermatologist, who like yourself was brutally honest and told me don't waste my money on fillers -- I am at the point where the only real solution would be surgery. You confirmed in this video what she had told me. It is so refreshing that there are doctors like yourself and my dermatologist who care about their patient and not just their bank account!

I'm all for being as healthy and fit as possible. I didn't say "do nothing to look young and be physically fit." Not at all. I use good skin care. I exercise. I eat a healthy diet most of the time. I laugh as much as possible. I'm outside in nature when I can be. All of those things will help one feel and look younger than one's age if that's what you want. What I am AGAINST -- is people on social media (and in real life) who are spending what seems like an extraordinary amount of money and more importantly, time -- promoting "anti-aging" -- which is absurd, in reality. No one can "anti-age." Time affects every living thing. We decay, sag, wrinkle. I'm against spending (what is, for me, and I can only speak for me) an inordinate amount of time seeking the appearance of someone 20 years younger than themselves or whatever number they choose. Almost no one has unlimited money and no one has unlimited time -- my point is -- let's LIVE and focus on happiness and giving and health. And not as much on seeking something we can really, in the end, never, ever have -- and that is appearing far younger than we are. Be **healthy** - YES. But that doesn't necessarily mean looking as young as possible. @@superfreakmusic7681

I lost 110 pounds and so I have a little loose skin in the neck area and hollowing in the face. Started doing small amount of filler in my 30s. Figure I’ll be doing at least a mini face lift in my 40s. I’m ok with aging but I choose to do it the way I want. I am 37 now and people still think I’m 25. I use good skin care and minimal Botox/filler. I vetted my injector and won’t go to anyone else. She doesn’t overdo anything and is honest as to whether something is actually warranted. Appreciate your videos. While I think a lot of injectors and surgeons way overdo things which is harming women AND men, I appreciate good plastic surgeons and believe they can truly help people

Be okay with aging. Eat well, smile and love a lot and you will be ok. It's okay to age. I find older women that have taken care of themselves and that are happy, the most beautiful women. The pressure we put on ourselves to avoid the inevitable is crazy. I like this Doc a lot too. He speaks the truth. But "needs" their face treated? Or "wants" their face treated.

Sure, it may not work as well as surgery for lifting the face, but at 65 yo, I have found daily 10 min of face yoga focusing on jowls and tightening the neck DOES make a difference. But just like exercising the body daily, you need to keep up with it daily to maintain results.

Best lift smile!!! Ok when i was younger, had the model look and people had lots of weird upset reactions and was smiling the most I could to make every body comfortable until I got 60 and then every body became nice with me, it's insane. So far growing old in fact is great for me, I have a little jowls, a slight creepy neck so far the most revealing of my age. Smiling maybe toned my cheeks... ? Apparently I look 15 years younger, IPL really helped me, the threads not at all, I did only 1 injection a year for 10 years above cheekbones (naturally high), I do now 2 a year, recently i did fraxel on my neck but didn't helped with restoring my neck except for some age spots, I do red light once in a while. Eventually when I'll be 65 I'm thinking about a neck lift but the fillers at 50 made me looked 38/ 40 and now at 63, 48/54.... I do exercise, walk 1 hour a day uphill, I do everything with moderation and no botox. Vitamins moisturizers. ...

Everybody focusing on the skin, or filling their faces, not realizing that SAG is what really ages us, and sag happens even when you have great skin!

Thats why face exercise/yoga or machines like Cleo Q will work much better at anti aging than overpriced snake oil moisturisers ever will. They lift the underlying muscle which loses its tone and or becomes tense, which ironically makes them sag. I think thats why Gua Sha works because it relaxes the muscles

My OLDER FEMALE dermatologist (someone I've been seeing since I was 29 and I'm now 58) has been telling me the exact same thing since I started worrying about my jowls and neck in my early 50s. She does use fillers to treat my marionette lines and that works well for about 6 months but every time I ask about a non-surgical treatment for overall face and neck lifting she says you could try non-surgical, but most people are not happy with the result and you can spend a lot of money on treatments and creams, etc and you just can't achieve what you can with surgery. I'm really disappointed to hear people saying this doctor is playing on women's insecurities. What he is saying is save your money and "IF" you can afford it, surgery is the solution that will work and last. He never said all women should do this - he said directly IF it bothers you and IF you can afford and IF you're going to spend money on other treatments anyway, consider the one that does work. BTW my doc does NOT do surgery herself so that too says something about what is the truth. She could be pushing the fillers she does work with on me but she's not - she's saying for the things you want to see if you can address, surgery is the right way to go.
