What causes sagging cheeks?
The loss of collagen and elastin, less fat tissue in the face, weakening muscles and gravity. The process speeds up from the age of 35–40.
How do you prevent sagging cheeks?
Retinol stimulates collagen production. Firming peptides (DMAE, Argireline) tone the muscles. Facial massage and gua sha boost circulation and lymph flow.
Which cosmetics firm the cheeks?
Look for products with peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid and caffeine. Apply your cream from the bottom up – against gravity.
Which aesthetic procedures are available?
HIFU (focused ultrasound), PDO threads, hyaluronic acid fillers and a surgical facelift are options for more severely sagging skin – your doctor will advise you on these.
