Sagging oval face – treatments

Sagging oval face is an aesthetic defect, which is a natural reaction of the skin to the aging process in the body. With age, our skin becomes flabby, and the oval of the face loses its characteristic youthful "inverted triangle" shape. In the area of chin and neck folds of skin form, or so-called "hamsters,” and the face takes on a sad and tired expression.

Aesthetic medicine currently offers a wide range of therapies that improve the firmness of flabby body parts. In Zakrzewscy Clinic we offer our Patients a range of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that effectively reduce the signs of aging, improve skin texture and tone and restore a youthful look to the face.

Why the facial oval falls with age

After the age of thirty, the natural process of loss of elastin and collagen in the dermis, which are responsible for the proper firmness and elasticity of the skin, begins. As a result, the skin becomes less elastic and flabby, the cheeks droop, and the oval of the face elongates taking on a sad and serious look.

Collagen and elastin levels also decrease due to factors such as UV skin exposure, environmental pollutants, cigarette smoke, poor diet or excessive alcohol consumption. The facial oval may also droop as a result of rapid weight loss.

Treatments to restore a youthful oval face

For minor flabby of the facial skin, you can use home remedies to improve skin tone such as:

  1. Facial muscle exercises that can reduce flabby skin around the chin, cheeks and throat. Exercises should be done daily for a long period of time to be effective.
  2. Oral dietary supplements containing collagen and hyaluronic acid.
  3. Creams, lotions and serums that contain retinol, which stimulates collagen production in the skin.
  4. Proper lifestyle, i.e. drinking plenty of water throughout the day to keep the body hydrated, using sunscreen, eliminating harmful habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol.

In case your skin has visibly lost its firmness and your cheeks have drooped, it is advisable to take advantage of skin firming therapies offered at aesthetic medicine clinics.

Non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that improve the tone and elasticity of flabby skin include.

  1. Laser therapy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone.
  2. Laser facelift, which resurfaces the skin by removing the top layers of skin and also emits heat to the deeper layers of skin to stimulate intense collagen production. Laser facelift is a more invasive procedure than laser therapy and usually requires a short recovery period.
  3. Microfocus ultrasound therapy, which also stimulates collagen production in the dermis by heating the tissues. Positive results are usually seen several months after the last treatment.

The best results for improving skin tone and restoring the natural oval of the face are achieved with a surgical facelift. A facelift is associated with a long recovery period and the risk of serious side effects from surgery.
