Understanding Volume Loss and Sagging Skin
Facial volume loss and sagging skin are natural parts of the aging process, caused by a combination of factors such as decreased collagen and elastin production, loss of fat beneath the skin, and changes in bone structure. Over time, these changes lead to thinner skin, reduced support, and less elasticity, which can cause the face to appear hollow, sunken, or droopy. This shift in facial structure can make features look less defined, contribute to wrinkles and folds, and create a tired or aged appearance—even when you feel energetic and vibrant.
Causes of Volume Loss and Saggy Skin
Several factors contribute to facial volume loss and skin sagging, including:
- Ageing Process: Natural ageing reduces collagen and hyaluronic acid production, vital for maintaining youthful skin.
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure weakens skin elasticity and breaks down collagen, accelerating skin ageing.
- Genetics: Genetic factors influence how your skin ages and loses volume.
- Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, poor nutrition, and insufficient skincare routines exacerbate sagging and wrinkles.
- Fat Loss: Loss of facial fat pads leads to a deflated appearance, enhancing the look of loose skin.
Common symptoms of volume loss and facial sagging include:
- Saggy skin around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline
- Appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles
- Dark circles and hollows under the eyes
- Loose skin causing the face to droop or appear tired
Who is Affected by Facial Sagging?
Facial sagging and volume loss typically start becoming noticeable in your late 20s and progressively worsen with age. Both men and women can experience these effects, though they often become more pronounced in individuals over 40.
