Aging is in your bones, not on your face!
Whether you take precautions or not, old age will eventually catch up with us. Perhaps we have taken great precautions and do not show our age, but let’s admit that even this will not be enough after a while. When we look in the mirror, we see a face that tells us that the years have passed.
Our facial skeleton, whose development stops during adolescence, may not cause us problems over time, but as we age, it deteriorates just like our leg bones, which remind us of themselves with their pain. Our skin, which is now too loose for our shrinking, sagging, and shrinking facial skeleton, also wrinkles, sags, and transforms into a face that reveals our age. When sunspots and stubborn facial lines that refuse to fade are added to our sagging and wrinkled skin, the appearance of a worn-out face is reinforced.
If the bone structure we inherit is strong, our facial skeleton will suffer less damage over the years. For example, men tend to age later than women because they have a stronger bone structure. To minimise the impact of the years on your bone structure, it is important to maintain a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Balanced and healthy nutrition is of great importance during the post-menopausal period when oestrogen levels decline rapidly.
Rejuvenating the facial skeleton is possible through aesthetic surgery. If there is bone loss, the skeleton can be restored to a better condition using a filler material that resembles bone tissue. If a facelift is also to be performed, the skeleton must be restored to a better condition.
Following this, you can achieve a more youthful appearance through implants placed inside the mouth. The implants used are compatible with the structure of the face and do not dissolve, eliminating the need for repeat procedures. This procedure is sufficient for achieving a youthful appearance in individuals with minimal sagging, while also preparing the appropriate environment for facial rejuvenation in those with more significant sagging concerns.
