10 Reasons Why Your Face Looks Saggy And Droopy 10 Reasons Why Your Face Looks Saggy And Droopy. You can say sagging skin and droopy face are part of life’s natural progression.

It doesn’t help that the constant downward pull of gravity 24/7 also causes other parts of our face to sag.

What Causes Sagging Face Muscles? Beneath the weight of skin and fat, the muscles can stretch and sag over time. The loss of skin elasticity can also contribute to a sagging facial appearance.

Facial Collapse When there are no teeth left in your jawbone, your body senses that the bone is no longer needed to support the teeth. The jawbone is resorbed so that the minerals can be used in other parts of the body. So if you have had all of your teeth removed and wear a denture, you will experience facial collapse. Shown in the diagram to the left, which is courtesy of Dr. Carl E. Misch’s textbook, Dental Implant Prosthetics, you can see the different stages of this condition demonstrated.
