Face To Face: The Impact Of Aging On Facial Features
September 1, 2021
We’ve never shied away from directly addressing what aging can do to your looks, and we’ve certainly delved into procedures and products to address the toll of time on your face. Therefore, in our continuing examination of facial aging, we have a few new areas that may deserve your attention.
First, consider your eyes. While dark undereye circles and bags commonly appear on the faces of older women and men, there are also your eyelids to consider! Did you know that the official term for droopy eyelids is blepharoptosis? This is a condition that can be found in children but is also a consequence of aging, whereby weakness in the upper eyelid muscles, dysfunction in the nerve controlling those muscles, or excess or loose skin can all cause the upper eyelids to sag and droop, not only creating an appearance problem but potentially causing vision trouble as well. While it is possible that some facial exercises may help lessen the problem, it’s also something that can be readily addressed with surgery. To find out more, open your eyes wide and look here.
What about those forehead wrinkles? The lines and indentations that run back and forth over your forehead? Those are also a normal feature of an aging face, due to loss of collagen in the skin. Certainly, there are things you can topically apply to the skin to be proactive about lessening their arrival and appearance, but this is one area where Botox may be your best friend (though that’s not a permanent solution).

And have you noticed that as time goes on, there’s less symmetry in the features on your face? Research has shown that aging can accentuate asymmetry in your facial appearance and as time goes on, most people are confronted with this issue, though there’s likely little to be done about it. So relax, accept and click here for more info.
