Ageing

Over time, skin loses its youthful appearance. This natural ageing process is often sped up by: genetics, sun, smoking, chickenpox, and acne.

Skin ages. It loses two key proteins made in the dermis: elastin and collagen. As its name suggests, elastin gives skin elasticity. It provides firm skin with the ability to bounce back when stretched

Collagen is produced by fibroblasts. When skin is taut and firm, it has collagen to thank. Collagen is made of tight fibres. They help skin keep its structure and firmness. Both elastin and collagen production decline as people age.

Too much sun exposure and not taking care of your skin or health can speed up the process of skin ageing. This can make your skin look saggy and wrinkled at a younger age.

Weight loss

Saggy skin, on both the face and body, is often associated with the loss of fat. The skin sags because collagen and elastin in the dermis break down.

While anyone can get saggy skin, it's more likely to occur in people as they age. People who have lost significant amounts of weight are also more susceptible.

Carrying extra weight for a long time can damage the collagen and elastin fibres in your skin. This makes it harder for skin to snap back when you lose weight. If you lose a significant amount of weight, significant amounts of saggy skin may result.

Younger skin bounces back more easily. So, your age at the time of weight loss also matters for how saggy your skin becomes.
