Sagging & Loss of Contour

Restore the definition you remember.

It starts subtly—a shadow near the mouth, a softer jawline in photos. Gravity and time are natural forces, but they don't have to define your appearance.

Is This Happening to You?

Facial sagging doesn't happen overnight. You might notice these subtle shifts:

If you identify with 2 or more of these signs, it's the ideal time to explore preventative or corrective options.

The Science

Why Gravity Is Winning

It's not just 'loose skin.' Facial aging is a complex, multi-layer process involving bone, fat, and connective tissue.

Collagen Depletion

From age 25, we lose ~1% of collagen yearly. This creates the internal 'scaffolding' of your skin.

SMAS Laxity

The SMAS is the deep fibromuscular layer. Like a stretched rubber band, it loses elasticity over time.

Fat Pad Descent

Facial fat pads don't just shrink; they slide downward, creating hollowness under eyes and heaviness in the jowls.

Bone Resorption

We lose bone mass in the jaw and cheeks, reducing the structural support for the overlying skin.

The Asian Advantage & Challenge

Asian skin typically has a thicker dermis, delaying fine lines. However, heavier facial fat pads and bone structure differences make Asian faces more prone to 'heaviness' and sagging rather than wrinkling. Our treatments are specifically calibrated to lift this heavier tissue burden.

Target Areas

Where It Shows Up

Sagging affects the overall harmony of the face, but these areas are often the first to show change.

Brow & Eyes

Mild/Moderate

Heavy eyelids making eyes look smaller.

Mid-Face

Moderate

Flattened cheeks and deepening smile lines.

Jawline & Jowls

High

Loss of the crisp mandibular angle; formation of jowls.

Neck

Moderate

Loose skin ('turkey neck') and horizontal banding.

FAQ

Common Questions

Prevention is better than cure. Many patients start 'Pre-juvenation' in their late 20s or early 30s (using Thermage or baby-Ultherapy) to bank collagen before significant sagging occurs.
No. Our philosophy is 'You, but fresher.' Non-surgical lifting stimulates your own collagen, resulting in a gradual, natural improvement that doesn't alter your fundamental features.
Topical products are excellent for skin texture and hydration, but they cannot penetrate deep enough to tighten the SMAS layer or restore bone volume. Energy treatments and injectables are required for structural changes.
Comfort levels vary. At RAAC, we use advanced pain management protocols (including numbing cream and cooling) to ensure the experience is manageable. Most patients describe it as a momentary heat or tingling sensation.
Think of Ultherapy as 'Lifting' (best for gravity issues) and Thermage as 'Tightening' (best for loose/crĂŞpey skin). Often, we use both for a 360-degree approach.
