Do you gently pull back the skin on your face or neck when you look in the mirror and hope it would look different? Sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, but it doesn't make it easier when you start to see sagging skin around your neck or jaw area. A surgical lift, like a face lift or eyelid surgery, will instantly tighten and tighten the skin, but these sagging skin surgical treatments are not for everyone. Fortunately, there are a number of less invasive skin lifting options too. We've outlined a few other transformative options for tightening sagging skin without surgery.
Why do I have sagging skin?
The most obvious cause of sagging skin is aging. During the natural aging process, both elastin and collagen production decrease. Because our bodies produce less collagen, our skin looks less tight and taut. In addition, the middle layer of the skin, the dermis, is harder to store moisture. This loss of collagen production and thinning of the skin contributes to changes in the texture and firmness of the skin, resulting in a sagging appearance.
The most obvious cause of sagging skin is weight loss, where you can discover sagging skin on both your face and body. Significant weight loss (100 pounds or more) can have a dramatic effect on your appearance. As Healthline notes, “Carrying extra weight for long periods of time can damage the collagen and elastin fibers in your skin. This makes it difficult for the skin to pull back when taking it off. "
Premature aging and sagging skin can also be caused by UV exposure from spending too much time in the sun. Finally, according to Healthline, pollutants in the environment like cigarette smoke or poor diet like excessive alcohol or excessive sugar consumption can contribute to laxity.
