I’m worried about bulldog jowls (sagging around the mouth)..

Those who know about bulldog jowls will understand,
but if you have never had this concern, you may not be familiar with them.
Let’s take a closer look!

What are bulldog jowls?

What are bulldog jowls?
Bulldog jowls (Jowls) are a condition in which flesh sags
from the sides of the mouth down toward the jawline.
They are mainly caused by a combination of factors related to aging.
Bulldog jowls develop through the combined effects of various factors, including reduced skin elasticity, sagging fat, and weakened retaining ligaments. Therefore, improvement methods focus on addressing these causes.
Treatment or surgical methods are generally effective, and an appropriate approach should be selected by considering your condition and its severity, your desired results, and the recovery period.

Ways to improve bulldog jowls
- Non-surgical/procedural methods (for relatively mild cases and prevention)
Laser lifting (ultrasound/radiofrequency lifting), thread lifting (Thread Lift),
contouring injections / fat-dissolving injections, etc.
- Surgical methods (moderate or more severe cases)
Mini facelift / facelift (Facelift), liposuction (Liposuction), etc.
- Lifestyle improvements and care
Home care, sun protection, diet, appropriate exercise, etc.

Which method is best?
It is important to make a decision after thorough consultation with a specialist, taking into account the severity of the bulldog jowls, the condition of your skin’s elasticity, the amount of fat, as well as your personal expectations and recovery period.
In generally mild, early-stage cases, laser lifting or thread lifting may be effective,
but when the skin is severely sagging, surgical methods such as a facelift may need to be considered.
This may also be part of the natural aging process.
For the most accurate diagnosis and a customized improvement plan,
we recommend visiting a plastic surgery or dermatology specialist for a consultation before making a decision.

Is it the same as deep cheek fat?
Deep cheek fat and bulldog jowls are conditions that appear in the cheek area of the face.
Although they are sometimes confused, they have distinctly different causes and characteristics.
Deep cheek fat is medically called “buccal fat.” It is a mass of fat located deep in the face, extending from the temples past the cheekbones to both corners of the mouth.
Bulldog jowls occur when the cheek tissue sags downward due to reduced skin elasticity and the effects of gravity, creating a bulge beside the mouth.
Simply put, deep cheek fat is the “fat mass” itself located deep within the face, whereas bulldog jowls are a condition caused by the skin and fat “sagging.” It is important to consult with a plastic surgery or dermatology specialist for an accurate diagnosis and effective improvement method.
