As we age, our skin loses elasticity and firmness, causing it to sag. External factors like sun damage and smoking can also breakdown the connective tissue that makes the skin elastic and able to bounce back.
Sagging skin tends to occur where the elastic connective tissue has been more frequently stretched, either due to repetitive use or a change in weight. Common areas include the cheeks, neck, and along the jawline.
Sagging skin can be fixed without surgery by using fillers, Botox, thread lifts, and lasers. A trained medical professional can assess your particular needs and apply the best treatment to address your concerns.
