- Facial aging results from the simultaneous loss of multiple tissue types — skin, fat, muscle, ligament, and bone — not skin alone. — An Aging Face: Slowing Down the Process
- At the cellular level, aging is a balance between protein breakdown (oxidation) and tissue repair; aging accelerates when breakdown outpaces repair. — An Aging Face: Slowing Down the Process
- Ligament atrophy causes facial tissue to sag as the ligaments anchoring skin to the facial skeleton shrink. — An Aging Face: Slowing Down the Process
- Bone loss around the jaw, teeth, and facial skeleton reduces the structural framework supporting facial appearance. — An Aging Face: Slowing Down the Process
- Smoking directly oxidizes proteins in skin tissue, causing premature aging. — An Aging Face: Slowing Down the Process
