The Triangle Of Youth And Pyramid Of Age
During your youthful age, your facial features are distinct. Your jawline is contoured while your cheekbone is elevated. This triangle of youth has its base at the top while its apex is at the bottom, area around your chin.
As age sets in, the triangle becomes inverted, with the base being at the chin and the apex between your eyes. Unlike during your youthful days, your mid and upper face is no longer the base since your lower face becomes much heavier. This change results from several factors.
Major Effects Of Aging On The Face
As you age your facial fat pads get thin, making them shift downwards. Fat pads help provide fullness and volume to the face, making you have tight contours. The shift in the position of fat pads makes your face not to look round as it once did. Among the warning signs of a shift in facial fat pads include fat accumulation below the chin, shrinking of cheeks, drooping eyelids, and appearance of hollows under the eyes.
Your facial muscles, located under the fat pad also begin to lose mass as you age. This results in the formation of creases, and wrinkles on your face. Loss of muscle tone can also cause your face to sag and have an undefined appearance.
Your skin, fat, and muscles around the face are supported by facial bones. These bones give your face its unique shape. As age sets in, these bones lose their mass, making your cheeks flatten, your lower jaw look less defined, and your eye sockets appear bigger.
