Why Does The Face Appear To Widen As Your Age, And How Can We Address This Issue?

Why does the face appear to widen as we age? This is a concern many people have, wondering why such changes occur. Is the shape of our face truly related to age? Every time we look in the mirror and feel that our face has changed, especially as we get older, it can seem like the face is expanding. This may not just be our perception, but rather a real transformation that happens over time. It is related to the structure of the face, the underlying fat, and the deterioration of collagen in the skin. Let’s find out together with Dr. Vanda Aesthetic Clinic what causes this issue and how it can be addressed.

Why Does The Face Appear To Widen As Your Age? Is This Issue Age-Related?

The appearance of a “wider” or more expanded face as we age is a result of several factors that naturally occur as our bodies age. These include both physiological factors and changes in the skin structure. Some of these factors include…

  1. Loss of Collagen and Elastin : As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, leading to sagging skin that starts to droop and lose volume. This causes the face to appear longer or more expanded, particularly around the jawline and chin area.
  2. Fat Accumulation Under the Skin : Fat tends to accumulate in certain areas of the face as we age, such as the cheeks and chin. This can result in a fuller or wider appearance of the face.
  3. Facial Bone Structure :As we grow older, the structure of the facial bones may begin to change. For example, the jawbone may thin, causing the facial contours to lose their sharpness.
  4. Loss of Muscle Tightness : The muscles that help lift and tighten the face may lose their elasticity over time. As these muscles weaken, the face begins to sag, contributing to a wider and more drooping appearance.

Thus, the widening of the face with age is linked to multiple changes, including alterations in the skin and facial structure. As we age, these processes become more pronounced, leading to noticeable changes in our facial appearance.

How Can The Problem Of A Wide Face Be Corrected?

There are several methods available to address the issue of a wide face, depending on the cause and severity of the problem. Some of the approaches that can help include…

For example, treatments using various technologies such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) or Ultherapy, help lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of a wider jawline.

Botox injections into the jaw area or the use of dermal fillers can help reshape the face to appear slimmer by reducing the expansion of jaw muscles.

For those seeking more permanent results, facial surgery such as jaw reduction or face contouring procedures can alter the structure of the face.

Sometimes, a wide face may result from increased body weight. Weight loss and regular exercise can help achieve a more defined and slimmer face.

For instance, CoolSculpting can target specific areas of fat on the face, helping to contour the appearance.

Each method has its own advantages and drawbacks. It is recommended to consult with a specialist to determine the most suitable approach based on your facial structure.

Introducing The Latest “EndoliftX Laser Fiber” Technology

Dr. Vanda Aesthetic Clinic For A Slimmer, More Balanced Face

The “EndoliftX Laser Fiber” is a groundbreaking technology in the field of facial skin tightening, advancing the effectiveness of non-invasive procedures. This method utilizes a laser with a wavelength of 1470 nm to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin and tighten the skin, making it ideal for individuals looking to reshape their face, reduce wrinkles, and enhance skin firmness.

One of the advantages of the EndoliftX Laser Fiber is the use of ultra-thin fiber optics (thinner than a human hair) to deliver the laser directly to the subcutaneous fat layers. This technique targets fat in specific areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and chin, effectively reducing sagging and contouring the face, resulting in a visibly slimmer appearance.

The EndoliftX technology is now available at Dr. Vanda Aesthetic Clinic. Interested individuals can consult with our specialists to receive a personalized treatment plan that best addresses their concerns.
