[Jugal rejuvenation and jowls treatment]

The aim of this study is to analyze the anatomical changes leading to the appearance of jugal aging with the appearance of jowls. It is also to describe the different techniques and to highlight those that are most effective with the permanent concern of obtaining a natural result with a well-defined jawline and a harmonious distribution of jugal volumes. For this purpose, the techniques of lifting with relocation of the displaced volumes and lipostructure are often associated with the strict respect of different directional vectors for the underlying tissues and for the skin redraping. More precisely, the dissection of the pre-masseteric space makes it possible to address the specific problems posed by the jowls and the heavy labio-mental grooves. In responding to the psycho-sociological demand of our time, two major types of indications emerge with the facelift of the young patient, which makes it possible to obtain a long lasting result and a fast return to social and professional life and a later indication surgery, which requires more invasive techniques resulting in heavier surgical procedures and follow-up.
