With age, the production of these proteins lessen, sagging of the skin can occur as well as a loss in volume and fine lines and wrinkles.

Symptoms of Sagging Skin
The ageing process can become apparent in many ways, specifically the lower face and neck.
Loose skin:
This often occurs in the neck area and is more likely following weight loss. Loose skin occurs when elasticity levels are reduced in the skin. It is most visible along the jowl area.
Fat:
Fat specifically under the chin can cause sagging and result in the appearance of bloating.
Banding:
As we mature, muscles in the neck and weaken, the vertical cords of tissue begin to stretch causing banding around the neck.
Causes of Sagging Skin
- Reduced collagen and elastin
- Damaged skin cells due to UV exposure
- Loss of fat and volume in the face
- Natural effect of gravity
