Why does skin sagging occur?
Skin sagging is the downward descent of the skin and soft tissues. This creates skin folds, and deep lines. There are three main reasons why skin sagging occurs.
Shrinking of facial bones
The bony skeleton gradually shrinks as we get older. This means that the facial bones become smaller. The skin does not shrink with age, and this means that there develops a relative surplus of skin overlying the bones. This leads to overhanging seen as skin sagging. Many of the filler injections carried out to improve skin sagging are placed on the bone, to strengthen the thinning bones.
Changes in the fat under the skin
Fatty tissue under the skin becomes thicker in some areas as we get older. This adds to the weight of the face and causes folds to occur.
Laxity of facial ligaments
Ligaments hold the skin to the bone on the face. With ageing, these ligaments become weaker and so the skin is less well stuck on to the bone. The skin therefore tends to descend.
