Looking for some posing tips please.

Recently did a session with an attractive middle aged female friend. As I reviewed the shots later, I was shocked at how "jowly" she appeared in most of the shots. I know the "turtle", neck stretch trick, though I doubt it would work well for a sexier look, and it addresses neck skin, not facial features.

Can anyone recommend some poses, or a source where I might find some poses, that would reduce this?

Or, is this perhaps a function of lighting?

Thanks in advance for any help.

liquify tool in photoshop is a way to get rid of these in post.
i haven't found a way to minimize them much in real life.

Thanks Chris,

I've used that method for dealing with unwanted bumps & bulges, and figured "that" plus the healing brush would work here. But was hoping there might be a method to avoid the problem in the first place.
