What Causes It?
Natural aging process - skin loses elasticity and collagen production decreases, causing gluteal muscles to weaken over time
Sedentary lifestyle and prolonged sitting - weakens gluteal muscles and causes fat accumulation, leading to muscle atrophy
Rapid weight loss - skin loses ability to retract quickly, leaving excess loose skin that appears saggy
Lack of exercise and poor diet - inadequate strength training leads to weakened gluteal muscles and poor muscle tone
Genetics - family history of loose skin elasticity or body fat distribution patterns
Hormonal changes - pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal imbalances affect collagen production and muscle tone
