A younger face is oval in shape with full, high cheeks due to the fullness of the fatty layer under the skin.
As part of the aging process, we lose fat from the upper cheeks, which become more hollow, and deposit it much lower on the jawline, where it begins to appear as jowls.
This spoils the smooth contour of the jawline and results in a much squarer appearance to the lower face which considerably ages our appearance.
Fortunately, we are now at a stage where we can intervene effectively to correct these problems in a minimally invasive way, without resorting to any form of surgery.
Research and technology are at a stage where we can use several non-surgical techniques to effectively reduce localised pockets of subcutaneous fat on the face and body.
Furthermore, some of these methods will also stimulate skin tightening through new collagen production. This is particularly useful on the jawline where often a combination of jowl reduction and skin tightening are required to produce the best results and the most youthful appearance.

Reduction of resistant, small, localised fat deposits without surgery.
Fat deposits stored under the skin in certain body areas are relatively diet resistant. This is because as we put on weight, the fat cells under the skin divide and the layer of stored fat becomes thicker.
However the blood supply and circulation to these areas does not increase in a corresponding way and the fat cells therefore become more remote from the circulation.

However the blood supply and circulation to these areas does not increase in a corresponding way and the fat cells therefore become more remote from the circulation.
This remote (avascular) fat tissuse then tends to become fibrous and calcified, futher impeding the circulatoin.
The result is that we may have certain fatty stores under the skin where it is very difficult for that fat to be released into the bloodstream through the normal processes of metabolism.
We may have a excess of such resistant fat in certain areas, even though we may not be overweight.

We may have a excess of such resistant fat in certain areas, even though we may not be overweight.
Further weight loss will be undesirable if we are at or below normal weight.
However we may still have stubborn areas of localised, resistant fat which spoil our appearance or body shape.
Such areas are commonly under the chin, on the lower parts of the tummy, love handles, hips and inner or outer thighs.
Furthermore, as we age, the pattern of fat stored on our face shifts, and this contributes to an older appearance.
