Causes of Jowl Sagging

Causes of Jowl Sagging

It has been determined that most of the patients who come to the hospital with the complaint of jowl sagging or who have had surgery, have the jowl problem caused by weight. In patients who do not have weight problems, jowl sagging is caused by aging or premature aging. On the other hand, chin sagging will occur in cases of heavy consumption of tobacco and its derivatives, alcohol use, sleeping in the wrong sleeping position, and direct and continuous exposure to sunlight.

Obesity

Excess weight and jowl sagging and other sagging are always parallel to each other. Excess weight damages many structures both inside and out, causing damage to the skin and losing its elasticity. The skin, which loses its elasticity, begins to sag directly. In addition, excess weight puts a heavy load on the tissues in the neck area, causing them to be damaged, which is another reason that causes jowl sagging.

Aging

Apart from other reasons, the jowl naturally begins to sag or get fat with age, especially the 30s and 50s are critical. It can be said that the onset of jowl sagging at the age of 30 is the time when it appears clearly at 50. In the aging process, the body naturally begins to change, but the area where this change is most evident is the face and its surroundings. aging of the face; It causes loss of elasticity of the skin, relaxation of the muscles and sagging. Collagen, which is responsible for providing elasticity in the skin, begins to be secreted less with aging, so the skin that loses its elasticity sags.

  • Apart from being caused by aging, chin sagging is also one of the symptoms of collagen deficiency. In such a case, it is necessary to consult a nutritionist.

Smoking

Smoking causes serious damage to many organs in the body; Since the blood circulation is interrupted, no cell in the body can reach enough oxygen, which causes damage to the skin. In addition, it directly reveals the signs of premature aging by causing a decrease in many vitamins, especially vitamin A. With premature aging, wrinkles and sagging become evident, that is jowl sagging occurs very early in people who smoke, and this is a natural condition.

Wrong Sleep Position

Over the years, our body cannot resist gravity and begins to sag downwards. While sleeping, we should be careful about lying on our back because our skin is much more prone to sagging in the prone position. While our skin sags, the jowl accompanies it, and the under-eyes also sag and become more visible.

Sedentary Life

A sedentary life is one of the biggest causes of almost every disease and bad course in terms of health. One of the biggest drawbacks of inactivity is the weakening and dysfunction of the skin-muscle bonds due to insufficient functioning of the muscles. In this case, the tickle will appear because people will gain weight, in another case, the tickle will appear again because inactive life causes people to age prematurely.

Exposure to the Sun

Sun rays can cause skin irritation and spots, skin cancer, sunstroke, etc., in case of prolonged exposure, especially in summer. causes many inconveniences. These are the damages of the sun under normal conditions. In recent years, due to the perforation of the ozone layer, the sun's rays falling on the earth at more steep angles and global warming have increased the sun's rays to the maximum level. While sunbathing for 30 minutes at noon in winter and 15 minutes at noon in summer is considered healthy, more than that is considered harmful.

Exposure to the sun burns our skin, causes loss of elasticity and leads to sagging. The use of solariums for tanning is also one of the other reasons that directly lead to sagging skin. Solarium is an unhealthy practice that is not recommended by experts and causes many ailments such as skin cancer.

How İs Jowl Surgery Performed?

The method applied in double chin aesthetics is liposuction. Under the control of the surgeon,  the fat in the jowl area is vacuumed with very thin cannulas. In some cases, these fats are added to the chin area by being distributed evenly, that is, the stretching method is used in addition to liposuction. Thus the drooping jowl is recovered and the face attains a more symmetrical size. During this operation, local or general anesthesia is applied and the procedure takes a very short time. The patient is discharged after the operation.

After Neck Removal Surgery

After the surgery, the facial area will be bandaged from head to chin. You must wear this corset for 3 or more times. In the first days, mild pain may occur in the operation area, but painkillers used under the control of the doctor will relieve this pain. In addition to the pain, bruising and edema can be seen in the operation area for up to 1 week, but these are short-term side effects.

If stretching is not applied during the chin removal surgery, there will be no scars as no stitches are applied. Thus, since there are no stitches, there will be no other scars. The patient can return to his work and social life in a controlled manner within 10 days after the operation.

This application is a surgery applied for stubborn lubrication that cannot be melted by diet and sports, complaining of regional lubrication.

Liposuction, which can be applied to people of all ages, can be applied to the age barrier in some cases because the skin of the people may be damaged during this application as the skin loses its elasticity in advanced ages.

Situations in which Liposuction is Useless

Although it sounds like a one-to-one application to lose weight, there are important points to be considered after liposuction surgery.

If there is a problem such as constant weight gain and loss, liposuction surgery will not be beneficial. In this case, it would be a more correct step to talk to a dietitian or have your hormone values checked.

Laser Lipolysis? What are the Differences with Liposuction?

Laser lipolysis, also known as laser diode, is a method of directly targeting the membranes of fat cells and detonating them. As in other liposuction procedures, this application is used to eliminate the loose structure in the face area as well as targeting regional slimming. In addition, another important point is that the problem of sweating is solved by applying it to the armpits of people with intense sweating problems.

The difference between these two applications is the technical difference. In liposuction; fats are taken under anesthesia with cannulas. In lipolysis; The laser is applied on the skin and the fats are excreted from the body through urine. In cases where the adipose tissue is very stubborn and dense, liposuction is applied instead of lipolysis.

While the application only to the eye area takes 20 minutes, the application to the whole face takes up to 60 minutes. The effects of the operation continue for up to 1 year. Although it varies according to the age and physical condition of the person, a single session usually gives an effective result.

After the application, the patient can return to his daily life immediately, ultherapy does not cause any irritation and bruising on the skin.
