As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and firmness, which causes it to sag. External factors like sun damage and smoking can also breakdown the connective tissue that keeps skin elastic and able to bounce back.
Skin sagging tends to occur where the connective tissue is more frequently stretched from repeated use or significant change in weight. Common areas for skin sagging include the cheeks, neck, and along the jawline.
Sagging skin can be tightened without surgery through fillers, Botox, thread lifts, and lasers. These procedures are available only through a trained medical professional, who can assess your particular needs and recommend the best treatment to address your concerns.
