How Our Faces Age - Genetic Inclinations

As people get older, their bodies are programmed to begin loosing water, fibers like callogen,elastin and proteins, and they gain and loose fat in certain areas, which may cause their skin to loosen up, drop, and look aged.  These factors, along with environmental factors, are generally the major culprits of an aged face.

Since endoscopic facial surgery does not involve the "pulling" upward of the skin directly, patients with skin excess might need to use the open approach of the procedure, possibly in conjunction with the endoscopic approach.
