Facial Sagging

As we age a number of factors contribute to facial sagging

These combined factors cause the facial volume to collapse a bit like a deflating balloon.

  1. Skin tone reduces due to a loss of collagen, elastin and hyaluranon.
  2. Fat loss occurs usually in the mid face and gravity pulls this lower causing nasolabial folds and jowls.
  3. Muscle tone reduces.
  4. Bone shrinks away particularly in women.

Fortunately there a number of treatment processes that can improve facial sagging.  At Palm Clinic we are particularly keen on volumising with dermal fillers which creates a very natural youthful re-contouring of the face with the emphasis restored to the upper cheeks.  For more serious facial sagging a facelift with a plastic surgeon can be considered.

Botox can also used to lift the eyebrows and jowl line.  If neck and jowls are the primary area of sagging liposuction to these areas can be very rejuvenating.  To discuss your options make an appointment with one of our experienced doctors.
