How the Face Ages

Using some mother and daughter images we can illustrate how the face changes as we age. When using injectables to reverse these signs of aging, we use a combination of different fillers and neuromodulators to customize the treatment for each individual, depending on their areas of age related facial change and desired outcome.

Midface volume loss creates several signs of aging. As the Ogee Curve flattens due to loss of volume, the face will sag. The Ogee Curve of the face is the double soft-S curves that is a convex fullness in the brow that softly curves where the eyelids meet and then softly curves outward on the upper cheek to again curve just above the mouth. The photos below show the flattening of the Ogee Curve with loss of midface volume:

Midface volume loss also is responsible for sagginess in the pre-jowl area and prominent nasolabial folds as is shown in this photo:
