About Facial Fat Volume Loss (Enemy #1 of any Youthful Face)
Youthful faces generally have rounded features, a healthy fullness, and smooth, tight skin. But as we age, skin volume declines, often unevenly, much like a grape turning into a raisin. The process is called “soft-tissue atrophy” and results in:
- Sagging skin
- Wrinkles
- Hollows
- Withered (atrophied) soft tissue
Loss of facial volume is one of the main reasons people look older than they have to. Maintaining proper weight, never lose weight fast, plus a healthy diet and exercise program may help. But some people still develop a double chin. This happens for two reasons: Their body’s ability to control fat storage and water retention is genetic and out of their control. And they are aging.
