Causes of facial sagging

Un visage large est un visage où le tiers moyen (au niveau des joues) et/ou le tiers inférieur (au niveau de l’angle mandibulaire) sont larges.
Anatomiquement cela peut être dû :

  • Bone structure.
  • The masseter muscles (muscles of mastication located at the mandibular angle).
  • Abundant jugal fat caused by age-related loss of malar fat, overweight or genetically determined.


The factors responsible for a wide face are :

  • Ethnicity: in Asians, for example, the masseter muscle is highly developed and the 'lower face' appears 'wide'.
  • Excess weight: responsible for the appearance of the double chin and the increase in jugal fat.
  • Genetics: the development of bone, muscle and fat structures is genetically determined.
  • L’âge. Pourquoi on grossit du visage en vieillissant ? Avec le temps la graisse malaire tombe et modifie le visage qui devient carré et large.
