Lower face wrinkles and sagging, which often manifest around the mouth and chin, are significantly influenced by the action of depressor muscles in the face. These muscles pull the facial features downward, contributing to expressions such as frowning or pouting. Over time, the persistent use of these muscles engraves lines into the skin, similar to how repeated expressions affect the upper face.
As we age, the skin’s reduced ability to bounce back—due to diminished collagen and elastin—means these lines become more pronounced and permanent.
Moreover, the aging process naturally leads to a loss of fat and volume in the lower face, worsening the sagging and appearance of deep folds. The continuous pull of the depressor muscles can create a more pronounced downturn of the mouth and the development of marionette lines (the lines running from the corners of the mouth down to the chin).
This sagging and wrinkling effect is further influenced by genetics and environmental elements like sun exposure, which accelerate the breakdown of skin-supporting proteins. B
