The breeches clearly make the face heavier and add years to their owner. They are formed due to weakening of skin tone in the middle zone of the face and sagging of subcutaneous fat, weakening of the masticatory muscle tone. All these age-related changes lead to the fact that sagging cheeks violate the clear natural oval of the face, making it wavy – on the sides of the chin, the so-called senile pouches, or bulldog cheeks, are formed, which sag more and more every year.

Reasons for which flares usually occur
At the age of 40, the production of collagen and elastin fibers gradually slows down, skin elasticity decreases, gradually begins to appear age-related ptosis of the skin. At the same time, the ligaments that fix the subcutaneous fat are weakened, due to which the fatty tissues on the face, under the influence of gravitational forces, gradually flow down, stretch the skin with their weight and hang over the edges of the lower jaw.

In addition, on both sides in the area of \u200b\u200bthe chin, the chewing muscle also begins to sag, the tone of which also weakens with age. This is how the oval of the face is gradually deformed: it becomes wavy and swollen, the appearance of a second chin and deepening of the nasolabial folds are often added to the jowls.
Ways to correct sagging cheeks
At the first manifestations of soft tissue ptosis and formation of jowls, when the patient's skin is still sufficiently elastic, hardware and injection techniques for correcting facial contours give a good effect.
In patients of the older age group (about 50 years or more, it depends on the condition of the skin), soft tissues can be tightened and bulldog cheeks can be removed only by more radical methods – facelift.
In the early stages, the jowls can be corrected with the help of bio-reinforcement, thermolifting. When working with patients who have multiple signs of age-related skin changes – flabbiness, ptosis, surgical methods are preferred correction of jowls.
Some Facelift Techniques for Correcting Jowls
Endoscopic facelift – a subperiosteal lift of the soft tissues of the face is performed through small incisions made in the scalp; the skin is not removed with this method of correction, so the method is applicable for early manifestations of sagging cheeks.
