Why does the skin become saggy?
One of the main signs of aging is the skin that becomes saggy as it can be seen on the face. Fine lines and wrinkles are also the first signs that appear.
Slowly, the skin on the cheeks, chin, neck and nose begins to sag. The main causes of this sagging skin are as follows:
- With age, the synthesis of collagen becomes slower, which causes the skin to lose its elasticity.
- The tissues that support different cartilages and bones weaken and fall off with age.
- The fat that was once evenly distributed under the skin begins to lose volume. Hollow areas and solid areas are formed. The latter sag due to gravity.
- Excessive sun exposure damages collagen and elastin in the skin, causing it to soften and fall off.
- Cigarette smoke and air pollution are other factors that can promote the process of wrinkle formation and sagging skin.
- Rapid weight loss or pregnancy can also cause the same symptoms.
