Testimonials

I researched surgeons in the Baltimore area for over 6 months for a septorhinoplasty procedure. I consider myself extremely lucky that my paths crossed with Dr. Sultan. From my initial consultation, I knew I was going to be in good hands. I was extremely nervous about the surgery but Dr. Sultan took the time to answer my questions and concerns about the procedure. I found it so easy to communicate with Dr. Sultan as he responded quickly to my emails and text messages. When I went home after the surgery, I was in very minimal discomfort. I am only 3 weeks post op and I can breathe a lot better and pleased with the enhancements. If you are looking for a facial plastic surgeon who provides natural results, Dr. Sultan is your answer.

I thought the office and staff were very professional. They were kind and did not make you feel they were rushing. Dr. Sultan face timed with me after initial visit post procedure. I appreciated that I did not have to drive to his office since it was about 1.5 hours south of my home. His receptionist helped with make-up tips. The nurse after surgery was very kind as well. I was very happy with my care and results. I definitely have and will recommend him.

Dr. Sultan is Amazing! I couldn’t breath out of my nostrils at all and now my breathing is so clear. The tip of my nose had fallen and my profile was that of a little old woman. I don’t know how Dr. Sultan did it, but I have the cutest little nose now. My confidence has improved significantly, and I don’t have to hide from cameras anymore.

What Causes Saggy Skin

Posted January 6, 2021

There are many different changes that occur inside of our bodies as we go through our daily lives. Some of these changes often appear in the form of cosmetic issues that become more prominent over the course of time. For many people, the appearance of saggy skin is one such issue that may arise. And unfortunately, it’s a problem that can’t be easily rectified with over the counter treatments. In order to properly fight back against the formation of saggy skin, it’s important to understand the factors that cause it.

The Causes of Saggy Skin

There is a myriad of factors that can contribute to the formation of saggy facial skin. In general, saggy skin is associated with the loss of fat in the area exhibiting a saggy appearance. For many people, losing a lot of weight quickly can cause saggy skin to form.

In addition to the loss of fat, the natural aging process is also a large factor in the formation of saggy skin. As we get older, our bodies begin to produce less collagen and elastin, two essential components to having beautiful and resilient skin. The deterioration of these components will result in the loss of the skin’s ability to bounce back after contracting. The skin will eventually become weaker and thinner, giving rise to wrinkles, saggy skin, and other signs of aging.

External factors such as exposure to UV rays, pollutants in the environment, and certain lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol in excess can further deteriorate the production of collagen and elastin and accelerate these adverse changes to the look and feel of the skin.

Lifestyle Habits to Prevent Sagging Skin

There are a number of steps that you can take to help reduce the onset of saggy skin. The following steps can help you retain a more youthful appearance:

Consume plenty of antioxidants and healthy fats
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
Reduce your alcohol and tobacco consumption
Moisturize daily and remember to use sunscreen
Get plenty of sleep
Try to reduce stress
Commit to a regular workout routine

Treating Saggy Skin

While the steps listed are excellent ways to improve the look and feel of your skin, there’s only so much that you can do to rectify skin that is already showing prominent signs of sagging. With a little extra help from a skilled facial plastic surgeon like Babar Sultan MD, FACS, however, you can finally say goodbye to that unsightly saggy appearance.

There are plenty of treatments available to fight back the signs of aging to rejuvenate the look and feel of the skin. Nonsurgical options include applying heat energy to the skin with innovative radiofrequency procedures such as Morpheus 8 and Facetite. For those who are experiencing a more severe degree of skin sagging, there are also facial plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, browlift, and blepharoplasty(eyelid surgery), to help restore one’s youthful appearance.

These procedures are customized to fit the needs of each individual and are designed to help eliminate skin sagging, safely.
