  • Fat or sagging, first

    On the same jawline, built-up fat and sagging call for different work. Which one is greater is checked in a face-to-face exam.

Separating the fat layer from sagging

Below the skin, subcutaneous fat, fascia and muscle follow in order. Whether the fullness comes from fat or from sagging changes the direction of the consultation.

  1. 1Understand the layers
  2. 2Ask about your thickness
  3. 3Discuss the area

Prepare your questions

Jot down short answers to the questions below. A history of weight change also helps the consultation.

  1. Weight change in the past year

    Note whether it went up or down, and roughly how much.

  2. The spot that bothers you most

    Note one or two places your eyes go to first in the mirror.

  3. Recent treatments

    Lasers, injections, other device treatments: the type and roughly when, as best you recall.

  4. Medications you take

    Names of oral and topical medicines. A photo of the packaging is fine.

  5. Current skin problems

    Let us know in advance about wounds, inflammation or an ongoing skin condition.

  6. What you want to ask

    Note your questions, such as how long it lasts, pain, or getting back to daily life.
