I'm interested in contouring surgery, so I looked into the side effect of sagging skin and found that the severity varies greatly from person to person, so I was curious as to why sagging skin occurs and whether there are cases where it doesn't. I have summarized the topic of sagging contours in my own way, but since this is an article written by an amateur who knows nothing, I think it would be good to just use it as a reference and let me know if there are any mistakes or additional information!! Let's talk about information sharing.
 

First of all, the reason why skin sags after contouring surgery is due to the force of gravity and the empty space left in the skin due to cutting the bones, but in addition, the human face has muscles called retaining ligaments on the facial bones and a layer that holds our skin together. But this is because it gets damaged. When we perform frontal contouring, the bone and flesh must be separated, so this retaining ligament is inevitably damaged, which affects skin elasticity. For example, to eat ribs, we remove the bones and meat. At this time, you can see that the separated flesh becomes softer than when it was attached to the bone, and our skin feels the same way. No matter how much the bone is cut, once the skin separates from the bone, its elasticity decreases, and even if it is reattached after surgery, it is difficult to completely return to the same condition as before. Once the retaining ligaments are damaged, it is difficult to completely recover. So, as you get older, when the retaining ligaments begin to break down due to natural aging, it synergizes with the original damaged state of the retaining ligaments, causing accelerated loss of skin elasticity and sagging. Because each person has different skin texture, elasticity, and recovery, the period of skin sagging may be different, but since people inevitably age, the moment skin aging begins, once a bone is touched, no matter how much is cut off, the acceleration of sagging cannot be prevented. So, if there are people who easily consider contouring surgery out of a little concern, I think it would be good to think carefully and know that acceleration of weight loss in the next 10 or 20 years is inevitable.
 

The conclusion is that although the timing and degree of sagging are different, once you have contouring surgery, you can never completely return to the elasticity you had before contouring, and if skin aging begins 10 to 20 years later, skin aging will inevitably accelerate significantly. So, if you are not prepared for continuous follow-up care, decide on surgery carefully. That's the thought.
