I Am 25 Years Old and my Skin on Face is Sagging Like an Old Person, What Do I Do? (photo)

Im almost 25 and my face is saggy like an old person. People regularly think Im in my 40's. It is impossible to live a normal life when every person you meet is flabergasted when I tell them "no were the same age" then have to watch their reaction. I feel I am cursed, I have never met anyone else who has skin sag like mine at this age. I am a happy go lucky fun person but due to what I see in the mirror every day I have turned into an anti social intravert.

Facial Skin Tightening

Thank you for your question. I would suggest Ultherapy for facial skin tightening. Ultherapy deposits focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s creation of new collagen. As a result, skin will actually begin to lift and tone over time. Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firmed, toned and elastic. Plus, the treatment is completely non-invasive and does not require downtime.

Sagging Face

My advice is to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon. Based on his/her examination of you there will likely be several possible courses of treatment recommended- both surgical and non-surgical. I do not believe that chronological age should limit your options. Be sure to ask questions and try to become as informed as possible about whatever treatment plan you decide on.

I do notice a lot of 20 year olds lately wth more older aging looking skin. I didn't think it looked saggy but definitely drier, more damaged, cracked and wrinkled , larger pores like a 30 or 40 year olds and a lot with wrinkled or cracked looking forehead skin. Some with dark circles as young as teens and under. I think it might have to do with the ozone layer being so damaged to the point now where the UV rays are a lot stronger than they've ever been and damaging people under the age of 25 - 29 skin a lot more than ever before. Also notice black peoples skin not lookinga as youthful as it's known to look. I googled it to see if a good amount of 20 year olds were complaining about it. And do see a good amount of under 25 year olds complaining about againg / saggy skin on this website. Just a thought. Because 20 year old skin, on average always used to look smooth, moisturized and healthly up until lately. Probably not much you can do about it until stronger skin protection goes out on the market.

Either that or its ' smartphone face'. Google it. Sounds more like that.
