What causes sagging skin at jawline?

Depending on individuals, even if you don’t experience facial sagging initially, that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen as you age. Because everyone is bound to experience sagging as they age. Main causes of facial sagging include:
- Loss of skin elasticity and collagen due to aging
- Side effect of jaw contouring surgeries
- Genetics
3 most effective ways to get rid of sagging skin at jawline
1. Thread lifts
A thread lift or thread face lift is a simple non-invasive procedure that involves lifting the skin using dissolvable threads with cogs hidden under the skin’s surface. It works well to correct mid-face sagging, and is often referred to as a non-surgical face lift or a lunchtime face lift. Effective for those with mild sagging.
Benefits:
- Non-invasive (Non-surgical)
- Improves elasticity of sagging skin
- Lifts and defines sagging jawlines into a more v-shaped jaw
- Stimulates collagen rejuvenation
- Get rid of double chins
- No scarring
- Fast recovery time
Downsides:
- Not so effective for severely sagging skin
- Effects are temporary and lasts 6~8 months
- Limit to the number of times thread lifting can be done (about 3 times)
2. SMAS lift
A SMAS face lift is an invasive face lift procedure that involves lifting the SMAS layer under the skin to counter the signs of aging by tightening weaken muscles and tissues, removing fats, and trimming of excess sagging skin. It is used to correct mid-face sagging, specifically targeted at saggy jawlines, sagging cheeks, smile lines, and marionette lines.

A full facelift is a combination of a forehead lift, SMAS facelift and neck lift. It is effective in correcting midface sagging as well as sagging at your neck. Best for those who have saggy jawlines and loose skin on their neck.
