Face Concerns
Understanding Lower Face Laxity (commonly referred to as “jowls”) – Causes and Treatment Options at Beauty by Doctor: Lower face laxity refers to changes in skin support and contour along the jawline that can occur over time. This is often described as “jowling”. These changes in definition can be influenced by multiple structural and environmental factors.
Loss of Skin Elasticity: Over time, collagen and elastin production declines, contributing to reduced skin support.
Reduced Facial Fat: Changes in facial fat distribution may influence the appearance of the lower face.
Gravitational Changes: Ongoing gravitational forces can affect tissue positioning over time.
Genetics: Individual anatomy and genetic factors can influence how the lower face changes.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, sun exposure, and diet may contribute to changes in skin quality.
The Impact of Lower Face Laxity
Lower face laxity can alter the contour of the jawline and overall facial proportions. Some individuals seek assessment of these changes as part of a broader approach to facial structure and skin quality.
