When we are younger our facial fat is evenly distributed around the eyes, cheeks, forehead, mouth and temples. However, as we age this begins to shift downward and diminish, causing hollowness under the eyes, sunken cheeks or thinning lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time facial fat can gather in areas that were once taut such as the lower jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Muscles:<\/strong><br>Beneath our fat-pads are our facial muscles that are repeatedly used to eat, move and express emotion. A loss of facial fat combined with gravity and repetitive muscle activity can lead to deep wrinkles. Facial muscles get weaker over time hence the loss of muscle tone can contribute to a less defined profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bones:<\/strong><br>Our bones provide the foundation and support for our muscles, fat-pads and skin and as we age, our bones lose density and start to shrink.
