SYMPTOMS OF LOSS OF FIRMNESS / SAGGING SKIN

Sagging skin and loss of firmness are natural parts of the ageing process.

The appearance of ageing can manifest in several ways in the neck and lower face:

Loose skin: Commonly known as “turkey neck,” this occurs as skin loses its elasticity and in cases where individuals have lost a great deal of weight. Sagging is usually most apparent along the jowl line.

Fat: A pool of fat under the chin also can cause sagging and give the appearance of bloating.

Banding: As the muscles of the neck weaken with age, the vertical cords of tissue begin to stretch out of shape, causing unsightly bands around the neck.
