Sagging face
A sagging face can mean different things for different people. For some people, it means heaviness in the lower face and a sad face appearance. It can mean losing the elasticity of the skin, heaviness around the jowl area, around the nose to mouth lines and eyelids.
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
There are many different things that give the appearance of a ‘sad face.’
You lose collagen and elastin with age and this is accelerated after the age of 30 resulting in your skin losing its elasticity and tightness and starts appearing saggy, especially in certain areas.
As you age and lose collagen the fat pockets in your face lose volume, these are mostly in your cheek area which support the lower face. There are others that actually gain volume; these are around your jowl/jawline area and above your nose to mouth lines.
Your skull actually shrinks with age as well. Think of it as the scaffolding for your facial tissues and skin. When your skull shrinks, the skin and tissues sag as a result.
