■Characteristics of Age-Related Sagging
Sagging occurs when the subcutaneous tissues and skin of the face become looser than they should be. In particular, changes in the structure of the subcutaneous tissues (skin, subcutaneous fat, and musculo-tendon membrane) with age have a significant effect on sagging. Let's look at each area in detail.

If countermeasures are not taken, the skin becomes less elastic, causing it to sag.

The skin is composed of multiple layers, with "subcutaneous tissue" at the deepest level. This subcutaneous tissue contains abundant fat and supporting ligaments,As we age, gravity will no longer be able to support us.Also. Drooping subcutaneous fat causes the face to sag.
Deterioration of the Smasmyotendinous membrane
A structure called the smasmyotendinous membrane lies beneath the subcutaneous fat. As the smasmyotendinous membrane, which supports the skin and subcutaneous tissue from the base, deteriorates with age, it can cause contouring and sagging.
