when does Drooping and Saggy Cheeks start to form?


Our face changes significantly as you age as a result of the passage of time.
The baby fat that is buried beneath the skin is lost a lot in your thirties, giving your face a leaner, more "adult" appearance. From one decade to the next, this pattern is repeated. When facial fat is lost, the collagen beneath the skin also deteriorates, causing droopy cheek skin to become looser and eventually droop and sag.

The cheeks, especially the lower cheek region and the jawline, are the areas where drooping and sagging are most frequently seen. This area of the face is prone to jowl issues, which can be a telltale symptom of aging.

Why are my cheeks sagging? what are the causes?


  • LOSS OF COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN

Your cheekbones and the area below your jawline experience significant collagen and elastin loss over time. The protein collagen is what gives your body's connective tissue its structure.
Another protein found in connective tissue called elastin allows your skin to regain its original shape even after being stretched.

The cheek skin around your mouth loses firmness and tightness when these proteins are depleted.

Gravity then pulls it downward until it sags and reaches the area on either side of your lips and chin.


  • GENETICS

Additionally, whether or not you have jowls and how apparent they get over time might be influenced by your Genetic structure. You are more likely to get jowls if one or both of your parents do. Early in life, you could begin to see jowls if you naturally have thin skin or little collagen and elastin in your skin. It's possible to start getting jowls in your teens or early 20s.|
