Jawline Sagging: Causes and Treatment Options

A prominent jawline with sharp lines is considered a symbol of youth and beauty. Therefore, sagging jawline is a common aesthetic problem.

What is Chin Sagging?

Sagging skin under the chin is uncomfortable and these sags can also occur genetically. Chin sagging, which becomes more prominent with age, is usually among the first signs of aging. When these sagging becomes evident, the person’s self-confidence and self-esteem may decrease.

What are the Causes of Chin Sagging?

The main cause of sagging chin is aging. The production of collagen and elastin proteins, which provide structure and elasticity to the skin, begins to decrease in the 20s. With the decrease in these proteins, the skin loses its elasticity and sagging occurs on the jaw line.

In addition, factors such as sedentary lifestyle, sudden weight loss, malnutrition can also cause sagging jaws to occur earlier and deeper. Exposure to sunlight also accelerates the breakdown of collagen and increases sagging skin.

Does Weight Loss Eliminate Chin Sagging?

In some cases, weight loss can reduce sagging, but most of the time, skin sagging continues to be evident. Especially after rapid weight loss, sagging on the jaw line may become permanent as the skin cannot recover quickly. Therefore, surgical interventions are the most effective solution to completely remove sagging chin.
