What is a sagging jawline and neck?

A softening jawline and looser neck skin, sometimes called “turkey neck”, are among the most common concerns Dr Sateei helps with. She considers the jaw and neck as one visual unit, aiming for a firmer, more defined look.

What causes a sagging jawline and neck?

Collagen and elastin decline from the mid-thirties, reducing structural support under gravity’s pull. Genetics affect timing; weight fluctuation and sun damage accelerate neck laxity in particular; jaw bone remodelling with age compounds soft tissue changes.

Signs and Symptoms

Loss of the sharp jaw-to-neck transition, jowls, horizontal neck bands or general looseness, more obvious looking down or in profile photos.

Treatment options

Radiesse biostimulation works as a collagen biostimulator to gradually tighten loose neck skin. Dermal filler restores jawline definition. Julaine offers a longer-term collagen-stimulating option. Skin boosters improve hydration and quality. For more significant, long-standing skin laxity, results from non-surgical treatment tend to be more gradual, and Dr Sateei will set realistic expectations for your particular concern during consultation.

Why choose Dr Ellie Sateei?

This area needs a whole-face perspective, and Dr Sateei’s twenty-plus years of experience allow her to assess how jaw and neck relate to the rest of the face, at both her London (near Harley Street) and Sevenoaks clinics.
