Researchers study how facial ageing is accelerated by fat loss ANI | Updated: Jan 31, 2021 14:53 IST
Washington [US], January 31 (ANI): Researchers during a recent study have tried to determine how the signs of facial aging are accelerated due to fat loss and how it s treated by plastic surgeons.
The traditional theory is sagging: the facial soft tissues simply yield to the effects of gravity over time. And while the idea that weakening ligaments in the midface could result in soft tissue descent still has merit, more recent studies point in another direction. Perhaps the real culprit behind facial ageing is the loss of fat - both near the surface of the skin and in deeper areas.
