Why the Face 'Sags' Downward — and How to Restore Its Shape 0 9

Let's figure out why the shape of the face changes and what mistakes accelerate this process.

Posture — the Starting Point of All Problems

Imagine a picture: the head is pushed forward, the back is hunched, the shoulders are raised, and the chest seems to have 'sunk in.' This posture triggers a whole cascade of changes:

• the muscles of the neck and chest are strained, shifting the tissues downward;

• the skin under the chin loses elasticity, leading to a double chin;

• the line of the lower jaw ceases to be smooth and graceful.

Even slight slouching affects the function of the shoulder blades, and through them — the sublingual muscles that form a clear contour of the face. Additionally, tense neck and back muscles compress the vessels, hindering normal blood and lymph flow, which causes swelling and ptosis.

The conclusion is simple: without good posture, one can forget about a beautiful and toned oval.

Harmful Habits That 'Steal' the Clear Oval of the Face

Dependence on gadgets. Constantly tilting the head creates slouching and reinforces 'smartphone posture.'

Inability to relax. Emotions and stress become entrenched in the muscles, creating stiffness. A person literally 'curls up in a shell.'

Ignoring health. Chronic gastrointestinal or pelvic organ diseases force the body to adopt protective postures, which negatively affects posture.

Professional strain. Working in a bent position (seamstresses, dentists, nail technicians, massage therapists) daily provokes slouching.

Improperly fitted lingerie. Weak breast support leads to back overload and its curvature.

Articulation disorders. When the neck muscles work instead of the facial muscles during conversation or facial expressions, the load is distributed incorrectly and provokes changes in the oval.

Blind faith in cosmetology. Liposuction or skin tightening without working on the muscles and skeletal framework provides only a temporary effect.

How to Restore a Clear Oval of the Face

To restore beauty and youth, one must approach the issue comprehensively:

• strengthen the neck and back muscles through gymnastics and massage;

• reduce the influence of gadgets — use stands and keep the screen at eye level;

• learn to relieve stress (yoga, walking, meditation, swimming);

• choose the right bra;

• treat chronic diseases so that the body does not live 'in a protective posture';

• work on articulation without straining the neck during conversation;

• take regular breaks if the profession involves bending.

The path requires effort and discipline, but the result is worth it: the corners of the lips lift, the oval tightens, and the face regains clarity and expressiveness.
