Sagging Skin Overview

Sagging skin is a common concern that develops gradually with age or sooner due to lifestyle factors, genetics, or environmental stressors. As collagen, elastin and facial fat decrease over time, the skin loses structure and firmness. This can affect facial contour, texture, and overall confidence.

At Restore Advanced Medical Aesthetics, our aesthetic doctor in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Wellington, and Paarl offers a range of tailored treatment options for sagging skin.

What causes sagging skin?

Sagging occurs when the deeper layers of skin weaken or lose support. Factors include:

  • Ageing and natural collagen loss
  • Fat pad reduction
  • Sun exposure
  • Genetics
  • Weight loss
  • Hormonal changes
  • Smoking
  • Poor nutrition
  • Dehydration
  • Environmental damage

Our aesthetic doctor in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Wellington, and Paarl can help determine the contributing factors and guide your treatment plan.

What are the symptoms?

Signs of sagging skin differ from person to person but commonly include:

  • Drooping in the cheeks or mid-face
  • Deeper folds or wrinkles
  • Softening of the jawline
  • Loose skin around the eyes
  • Thinning or crepey texture
  • Loss of firmness or elasticity

If you are noticing these changes, our aesthetic doctor in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Wellington, and Paarl can evaluate your skin and recommend the most suitable options.
