Summary

Facial soft tissue thickness changes with age, increasing in the mentalis region and decreasing in the anterior nasal spine area for both men and women. This study analyzed these age-related facial modifications.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Anatomy
  • Facial Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Facial aging is a complex process influenced by multiple factors including skin elasticity, tooth loss, skeletal changes, and soft tissue alterations.
  • Understanding age-related changes in facial soft tissues is crucial for aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the age-related evolution of soft tissue thickness in the mentalis and anterior nasal spine regions of the face.
  • To quantify changes in these specific facial areas across a wide age range in both male and female subjects.

Main Methods:

  • A population of 206 subjects, aged 21 to 101 years, was studied.
  • Soft tissue thickness measurements were taken in the mentalis and anterior nasal spine regions.

Main Results:

  • Soft tissue thickness demonstrated an increase in the mentalis region across the studied age groups.
  • Conversely, a decrease in soft tissue thickness was observed in the anterior nasal spine region.
  • These findings were consistent in both male and female participants.

Conclusions:

  • Facial aging involves distinct regional changes in soft tissue thickness, specifically an increase in the mentalis area and a decrease in the anterior nasal spine area.
  • These age-dependent anatomical modifications provide valuable insights for facial rejuvenation and reconstructive surgery planning.
