We prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean
curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets
of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an
application, we establish \textit{a priori} estimates for semistable
solutions of $-\Delta_p u= g(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain
$\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we obtain new
$L^r$ and $W^{1,r}$ bounds for the extremal solution
$u^\star$ when the domain is strictly convex. More precisely, we prove that
$u^\star\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ if $n\leq p+2$ and $u^\star\in
L^{\frac{np}{n-p-2}}(\Omega)\cap W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ if $n>p+2$.
