Fast Weight Loss Ages Your Face: Here's Why
1 May
Summary
- Rapid weight loss can cause facial fat loss, leading to an aged appearance.
- Facial fat pockets provide structure; their loss affects youthful contours.
- Skin may not retract quickly enough after weight loss, causing a gaunt look.
Rapid weight loss can lead to an aged facial appearance, according to Dr. Sayyad. This effect stems from the swift and significant loss of subcutaneous facial fat, which is vital for a youthful look. Our faces are supported by fat pockets that provide structure and contour.
When weight is shed quickly, particularly for individuals over 30 where collagen naturally diminishes, the skin may not have adequate time to adjust. This results in a dissonance between a leaner physique and a face that appears older or more drawn.
