The Connection Between Jaw Structure and How Your Face Ages

Everyone experiences changes in the skin and face with age, but some factors play a larger role than others. Lifestyle choices and environmental factors affect the skin, but bone structure also plays a role in the aging process.
If you're tired of looking at a tired complexion and sagging facial skin, Dr. Anthony N. Dardano offers various treatments to provide stunning changes. He is a plastic and reconstructive surgery expert offering injectables, PRP, and facial surgery to reverse the signs of aging.
Facial changes with age
Many aspects of your body change with age, including your bone structure. Facial aging occurs over the years, consisting of wrinkles, loose skin, and fine lines. Your facial and jaw structure plays an integral part in how your face ages through the following ways:
Soft tissue changes
With age comes soft tissue changes, especially with bone and fat loss in the face. The result is loose skin that sags, causing wrinkles and other changes that make you look older.
Jowl formation
Jowls form when the skin sags below the jawline, a prevalent sign of aging. This often results from bone structure changes, fat loss, and a decrease in collagen production.
Bone loss
Everyone experiences some bone loss in the face with age. That loss causes hollows around the eyes, dimensional changes, and the overall contour of the face. It also leads to a less sculpted jawline and an aging appearance.
Chin and mandible recession
Recession of the mandible and receding chin both contribute to aging. Some people are more prone to these issues because of their facial structure. Both issues happen due to bone loss and the normal aging process.
Skin changes
Skin changes are a significant factor in the aging process. Over time, the body slows collagen and elastin production, causing the skin to sag and wrinkles and fine lines to form.
Jaw angle changes
Your jaw angle can increase with age, causing the jaw to push forward at a lower angle. This change, along with all the other structural and skin changes, contributes to looking older.
Nonsurgical treatments for aging
If you're unhappy with how your face is aging, we offer various nonsurgical treatments for minor to moderate age-related changes. These treatments don't address your bone structure but do help with skin and soft tissue-related aging changes.
Dr. Dardano evaluates your face and specific needs to come up with a nonsurgical treatment plan that may include the following:
Fillers and injectables
Fillers have a gel-like consistency and work to restore facial volume, enhance facial contours, and temporarily eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. They contain many substances, including hyaluronic acid, which naturally occur in the body.
Injectables include Botox® and Dysport®, neuromodulators that address fine lines, wrinkles, and frown lines. These medications temporarily paralyze muscles, causing wrinkles to form and show.
TempSure®
We utilize the TempSure Envi system to revitalize and tighten skin without surgery. It uses radiofrequency energy to achieve results similar to a facelift while being noninvasive. It eliminates wrinkles and fine lines and achieves tighter skin.
PRP
Platelet-rich plasma is a treatment we utilize with microneedling to get the potent growth factors in platelets deep into the skin. The result is increased collagen and elastin production for a more youthful appearance.
Surgical options to consider
If you're not getting the results you want from nonsurgical treatments, Dr. Dardano offers a variety of surgical options for longer-lasting and more noticeable results. A facelift is a great option to address severe aging issues for dramatic results.
Depending on your goals and needs, we offer a mini and traditional facelift. A mini facelift is better for mild lower-face skin sagging and a tightened jawline.
A traditional facelift provides more noticeable and stunning results because it addresses various aspects of the skin and face. It's better for creating a youthful appearance in the middle and lower portion of the face.
