New concept of Facial Aging
Over the years, reseachers have experimented various studies in an attempt to better understand how exactly does a human face age. Recent advances indicate that the typically aged face represents a combination of changes on many levels, including bony structures, subcutaneous fat, muscle strength and skin integrity. These structural changes can completely reshape the three-dimensional contours of the face over time, by altering balance, volume and proportions. Our advanced understanding, in combination with the advent of newer products and technologies, has dramatically increased our ability to address the aging face without having to rely exclusively on surgical interventions.
1. Skin
As we age, the skin thins out, muscle contracts, tissue stretches and sags.
2. Soft Tissues
Soft tissue like muscles and fat pads underneath the skin shrink and lose volume as we age which attributes to further sagging and descent of the face.
3. Bony Structure
The bone is essential for soft tissue support. However, as we age, bone absorption occurs especially around the eye. As a result, the soft tissue like orbital fat prolapses forward.
