Facial Volume Loss & Sagging

These signs of ageing are most commonly noticed first around the cheeks and chin. The levels of subcutaneous fat in the face starts to decline, the bones in the skull start to reabsorb and become thinner, meaning that the skin starts to hang and sag. Imagine a cushion getting older, as the stuffing gets flatter the cover isn’t as tight at it used to be. This is what happens to the skin. The shape of the face changes from the “triangle of youth” to a rectangular, heavy shaped jaw and jowls start to appear.
