Sagging Skin / Volume Loss
Sagging Skin / Volume Loss
Sagging skin and volume loss refers to the loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, leading to a droopy or loose appearance. This condition often occurs as a result of the natural ageing process but can also be influenced by other factors.
What Causes Sagging Skin
Several factors contribute to sagging skin and volume loss:
- Ageing: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity, decreases. This leads to a loss of structural support in the skin.
- Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can break down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, accelerating the ageing process and contributing to sagging.
- Weight Loss: Significant weight loss can result in excess skin that has stretched and lost its ability to snap back.
- Genetics: Your genetic makeup can influence how your skin ages and its tendency to sag.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can all negatively impact skin health and contribute to sagging.
Areas Affected by Sagging Skin
Sagging skin and volume loss can occur in various parts of the body, including:
- Face and Neck: Common areas include the cheeks, jowls, under the eyes, and the neck.
- Arms: Often referred to as "bat wings," the upper arms can develop loose, saggy skin.
- Abdomen: Particularly common after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
- Thighs and Buttocks: These areas can also develop sagging skin, especially following weight fluctuations.
