Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 49-year-old black woman with a weight of 165.347 pounds and a tall stature. I have been experiencing accelerated sagging on my face, which makes me appear older than I look. The area around my eyes seems to be particularly affected. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that you are concerned about the sagging of your face and the appearance around your eyes. There are several factors that can contribute to the sagging of facial skin, including age, genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors. Here are a few common recommendations that may help improve the appearance of sagging skin:

  1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Ensure that you are getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and avoiding excessive exposure in the sun.

  2. Facial exercises: Some people find that regular facial exercises can help tone the muscles in the face and potentially reduce sagging. Consider consulting a facial exercise specialist for guidance.

  3. Skincare routine: Establish a skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and using products with ingredients like retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants. These ingredients can help improve skin elasticity and firmness.

  4. Protect your skin from sun damage: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays that can contribute to skin aging and sagging.

  5. Professional treatments: Consult a dermatologist or aesthetician who can suggest professional treatments such as microneedling, radiofrequency therapy, or laser resurfacing, which may help stimulate collagen production and improve skin tightness.

Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and it is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your specific concerns. They will be able to provide tailored advice and recommend appropriate treatment options.

I hope this information helps you. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thank you.
