What is Aesthetic Facial Design?
Most people seeking our advice for facial aesthetic design express concerns over individual lines, folds or blemishes. These are based on what the individual perceives when they look in a mirror, often with lighting and magnification.
While these are important for us to note, it is worth considering what we look for when we decide whether someone looks well, attractive and youthful.
When we look at a face, we respond to curves and outlines, volume, light and shadow. Loss of volume, with loss of the arcs and contours of the face and hollows, make us appear old and tired.
There are 4 key stages to facial aging:
- Bone loss in skull/facial skeleton
- Redistribution of fat in facial fat pads
- Muscle response to volume loss
- All changes associated with skin aging
