Jowl Exercises Before & After: My 6-Month Natural Results

by: Linda Robison / Facial Fitness Specialist

One of the most common questions I get is:

“Do jowl exercises really work—and how long does it take to see results?”

To answer, I’m sharing my own before-and-after photos. These show my jawline and neck progress after just six months—and how it looks years later from staying consistent.

My 6-Month jowl progress

At the start of this journey, I committed to simple, consistent routines—just facial massage and targeted jowl exercises. By month 3, I noticed subtle changes, and by month 6, my jawline looked cleaner and my neck smoother.

No filters. No fillers. Just my hands, facial oil, and a few minutes a day.

What I did to get these results

What did I do? I kept it very simple:

Later on, I added gua sha and a Kansa wand to my routine, but the six-month results you see here came only from my hands.

Years Later: Did the Results Last?

It’s been more than 12 years since I first started doing jowl exercises, and at 66—my jawline is still firmer than it was in my early 50s.

The 6-month progress didn’t just fade away. It held up because I kept at it, the same way you’d maintain fitness in the rest of your body. Like any exercise routine, consistency is what makes the difference.

FAQ:

Question:  How long did it take to see visible results?

Answer: I noticed subtle changes around weeks 4–6. The bigger difference came between months 3–6.

Question: Did you use any devices?

Answer:  No—just a clean facial oil for slip. No firming serums or devices at the time.

Question: What’s the difference between this and a professional facelift?

Answer:  Surgery gives instant lifting. My results are slower, but natural and maintainable.

Question: Where can I learn the full method?

Answer: My complete step-by-step plan is laid out in the Turkey Neck Rescue guide and Facial Exercise guide.

Question: Can I prevent jowls with exercises?

Answer: In my experience, yes—consistent practice has slowed down how heavy my lower face looks with age.

Question: What skincare products were you using during this time?

Answer: Nothing fancy. I mostly used clean, hydrating products—like facial oils or organic moisturizers to help my hands glide during massage.

I wasn’t using any firming serums or treatments, so the changes in my jaw and neck were from massage and muscle activation alone.

Takeaway

This transformation didn’t come from expensive tools or procedures—it came from small, steady habits: facial massage, simple exercises, and consistency.
