The Visualization

The Evolution of the Face

Ageing is not only about skin. It is a gradual, predictable change in fat, support and structure — which is why SmoothFill™ starts beneath the surface.

Aging stage one: depletion
01

Depletion

Loss of deep fat pads begins the cycle of descent.

Aging stage two: migration
02

Migration

Soft tissue moves downward as structural support weakens.

Aging stage three: definition
03

Definition

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines become permanent.

Aging stage four: laxity
04

Laxity

Advanced jowling and the loss of the youthful jawline.

Clinical Analysis

The Science of Structural Decline

Anatomical Insight

Upper & Mid-Face

Aging is often a result of Bone Recession. The orbital rim bone recedes, weakening the support for the lower eyelid and mid-face. Combined with muscle atrophy, this creates the dark hollows and eyebags seen in the late 30s.

Facial bone recession: youthful versus aged skull profile
The Result

Lower Face Inversion

The "inverted smile" and lip thinning around age 45 are direct results of SMAS laxity. As the structural sheet loses tension, the corners of the mouth descend and lips roll inward.

Nasal & Ear Changes

Aging doesn't stop at the skin. Thinning nasal skin can create a nose hump, while weakening cartilage leads to nasal tip ptosis (a droopy nose tip). Even ears are affected, lengthening by an average of 0.22mm per year due to gravity and collagen changes.

The Mentalis Crease

Repetitive action of the mentalis muscle creates a "crease of doubt" and Peau d’orange (orange-peel skin) on the chin as it pulls against aging, thinning skin.
