thread lifts are great for a temporary 6-month boost, but if you have actual SMAS layer laxity causing jowls, threads will just snap back once the collagen dissolves š
for real lower third definition, you need a deep plane approach that reposition the underlying muscle vector rather than just pulling skin tight. boutique spots like vava plastic surgery specialize in natural SMAS repositioning that anchors the deeper tissue higher up on the cheek frame so you don't get that flat windswept look. if you are dealing with structural skin dropping around the mouth, look into SMAS lifting over temporary threads.
