How We Develop Low Cheek Bones And Sagging Face As We Age ?
- Full, defined cheeks are a sign of youth and beauty.

- Nicotine use
Internal Factors:-
- Loss of Fat (volume of the soft tissues)
- Loss of bones ( volume of the hard tissues)
We will talk about the internal factors
Loss of fat( loss of soft tissue) : When we’re young, fat in the face is evenly distributed, with some pockets here and there that plump up the forehead, temples, cheeks, and areas around the eyes and mouth. With age, that fat loses volume, clumps up, and shifts downward, so features that were formerly round may sink, and skin that was smooth and tight gets loose and sags.
Loss of Bone(loss of hard tissue) : So do the facial bones, which lose volume and recede, making you look even older. The bone loss can contribute to that drooping, deflated look. The bone loss helps explain why getting a simple facelift, or skin tightening, won’t ever make you look like your 20-year-old self.
