Our face is a focal point, and it can be discouraging when sagging skin detracts from our appearance. Although aging is an inevitable part of life that can affect our looks, cosmetic treatments are available to rejuvenate the face. There are also a few simple life-hacks you can do to protect your face from premature aging.

1. Sleeping Position

One of the simplest ways of avoiding a sagging face is adopting a suitable position when sleeping. Pillows are very comfortable, but can wreak havoc on your skin as you toss and turn during the night. Sleeping on your back is best for avoiding saggy, lined skin.

2. Sunscreen & Exercise

During waking hours, you can do your part to protect your skin by never venturing outdoors without facial sunscreen with an SPF of 30+, as well as regularly practicing facial exercises to lift the sagging skin.

3. Thermage®

Should you already have sagging skin on your face, one potential nonsurgical treatment is Thermage®. This non-invasive procedure targets problem areas with radiofrequency energy, in order to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the face. As this doesn’t involve surgery, the recovery time associated with a facelift can be avoided.

4. Facelift

As your face can be the first place to show signs of aging, facelifts are a very popular treatment amongst those concerned about sagging. Depending on your individual circumstances, a facelift can tighten facial muscles, re-contour the skin or remove excess facial fat. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will discuss suitable options during your consultation.
