Why does the face age? Causes and prevention

Beauty
Skin
Face
As time passes, there are several changes in the structure of the skin and the structures that support it. These changes cause: wrinkles, flaccidity, lack of tone, lack of luminosity, spots and others. Almost all these changes are due to three factors:
1- Loss of subcutaneous fat. The layer of fat under the skin.
2- Changes in the skin. Such as its thickness and luminosity.
3- Changes in bone structure.
For these reasons, when a person has plastic surgery, they look better but do not look as if they were 20 years old again.
Fat Loss in the Face
The loss of fat means less volume. Changes such as sunken cheeks, hollows under the eyes and others are due to the loss of subcutaneous fat.
As you may have observed, overweight people seem to age more slowly. This is because the extra fat in the face makes the other changes less noticeable. On the contrary, thin people may sometimes look older than their age due to the lack of fat (volume) in the face.
Fat deposits help provide structure to the skin, especially in the cheeks and under the eyes. These deposits are deep in the skin, but there is also superficial fat.
The more superficial fat is affected by weight fluctuations, so it is important to maintain a stable weight. The larger and more frequent the weight fluctuations, the harder it is for the skin to recover, especially as we age.
Due to the problems caused by fat loss, there are several medical treatments such as fat transfers, filler injections and prostheses.
If there is excess fat or even normal levels, over time some people will experience movements in this layer, resulting in flaccidity. An example of this is the loss of the jawline or sagging cheeks. In these cases, a facelift can correct the problem.
Who develops flaccidity or fat loss is determined by our genes.
