LOOSE OR SAGGING SKIN

Loose or sagging skin is a condition that can affect anyone, as there a number of causes of facial sagging. The development of loose or sagging skin on the face is largely due to the natural ageing process, with the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leaving the facial skin less firm or full than it once was.

While is this the case for most people as we age, the likelihood of developing problematic loose or sagging skin can also be impacted by genetics and UV exposure. Loose or sagging skin can also be due to the impact of weight loss, whereby the skin has stretched and shrunk either too rapidly, or if being overweight has been a problem for some time, as the skin has not been able to retract effectively. This can be especially demotivating when you’ve gone to a lot of effort to shift a few extra lbs.

Whatever the cause of your loose or sagging skin, it can bring anguish and loss of esteem as the patient may feel they are ageing in a less than desired way.
