The aging process is slow, relentless and irreversible. It occurs at different rates from individual to individual as well as in each person at any given time. Facial aging is unrelated to general physical activity unless one is very ill and bed ridden. General changes that occur with aging include:
Resorption of bone along the inferior orbital rim (boney rim under the eye) and in the region of the alar/nose cheek junction. The remaining upper and lower jaw bones do not change as long as teeth remain intact.
Facial and other fat atrophies or is absorbed.
Skin elasticity decreases and the skin also thins. Dermal papillae become blunted with loss of rete pegs so the skin is more easily abraded.
Over time the effects of gravity and the longitudinal pull of muscles cause drooping or sagging of the skin and deeper structures of the cheeks, eyelids, nose, chin, legs etc. from areas of deeper attachment. The result is wrinkles and jowls in the face and cellulite in the extremities

lines deepen. Facial fat atrophy or wasting
becomes evident with concavity of the
surface contour in the temple area and
cheeks appearing. In some individuals
the eyes become sunken as a result of
fat atrophy rather than forming eyelid
bags. Correction: Hyaluronic acid such as
Sub-Q, Evolence or Radiesse to central

achieve voluminisation. Fat grafting such as
autologous fat transfer. Marionette lines and
jowls now appear.
