Sagging facial skin happens when changes occur in the skin’s layers over time. The epidermis (top layer) gets thinner, making it harder to retain moisture and protect the skin. The dermis (middle layer), which contains stretchy fibers like collagen and elastin, loses strength and flexibility, so the skin doesn’t “bounce back” as easily. The subcutaneous layer (fat layer) beneath shrinks, reducing the face’s natural fullness. Together, these changes lead to drooping, hollow areas, and folds, creating a tired, older appearance. At Fedok Plastic Surgery in Foley, many patients from the Gulf Coast seek solutions for drooping, hollow areas, and folds that create a tired, older appearance.
Sagging skin results from a combination of natural aging processes, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. This affects the skin in many ways:
Common symptoms of facial skin losing elasticity include loose, saggy face and neck skin, sagging skin around the jawline (jowls), deep creases or folds around the mouth and nose. You may also notice a hollowed cheeks appearance and visible folds. These changes contribute to an older, tired appearance, affecting facial aesthetics and confidence. Book a consultation with Dr. Fedok if you are interested in reducing these symptoms for a more youthful look.
If you are concerned about sagging skin, Dr. Fedok offers both surgical and non-surgical options to help restore firmness and rejuvenate your facial appearance.
Uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin over time. Patients experience minimal discomfort and gradual improvement.
Injects volume into areas with lost fat, smoothing wrinkles and restoring healthy contours. The treatment is quick, with minimal invasiveness and results lasting anywhere between 6 – 24 months.
The neuromodulator treatment works by relaxing neck muscles (platysma bands) that cause sagging and wrinkles, smoothing the neck, and enhancing skin appearance.
Cosmetic surgery lifts and tightens facial skin for a more youthful and contoured look. Results are dramatic, but natural-looking and long-lasting.
Using fat from other body areas, volume is restored, giving the face a naturally lifted appearance with sagging skin appearing tighter and firmer.
