Скачать или смотреть Facial Aging and Bone Loss: Nasolabial Folds, Drooping Nasal Tip, and Less Defined Jawline

When we are young, we create more new bone than we lose. However, as we age, we lose bone faster than we can replace it.
We've discovered that this bone loss isn't uniform throughout our face; it occurs in specific areas. Going deeper into this, we find that bone loss mainly occurs around the eyes, as indicated by those arrows. Bone loss in the upper jaw area results in deeper nasolabial folds, those laugh lines, and it also means less support for your upper lip. The area at the base of your nose, the piriform area, also recedes and deepens with age. Less bone support there can cause the tip of your nose to tilt downward as you get older.
Then we have the jawline. It becomes shorter as we age, especially in women. This results in the lower part of our face being less sharply defined and less support to hold all that soft tissue in place. And guess what? It can lead to a double chin.
