Volume Loss/Sagging skin
A gaunt or sunken appearance of the face occurs with age when the skin loses its structure and volume in the underlying fat, bone and teeth. Additionally, a reduction in its ground substance such as hyaluronic acid and collagen and elastin fibres causes a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin which when combined with the effects of gravity, result in a droopy and sagging appearance with visible static lines and thinner lips.
