For many people, the aging process accelerates in the late 40’s and early 50’s. 

They may wake up one morning and it seems that their face has fallen apart.
This is the culmination of something that began many years before. 

As early as 25 or 30, the aging process begins its work, driven by two very powerful, natural forces:  the sun and gravity. 

As the years go by, the skin, helped by the sun, loses its youthful elasticity. 

Gravity then pulls the weakened skin, muscle and fat of the face and neck downward, more and more as the years go by. 

Before long the skin has stretched so much that it becomes too big for the frame it once covered. 

As a result, bags, wrinkles, pouches and jowls appear on the face and neck. 

Sometimes it can distort your face so much that you begin to look like a different person; or at the very least, a tired, older looking version of your former self.

Despite what you hear from the billion dollar cosmetic industry, there is no potion, cream or medicine in the world that can shrink skin back to its youthful contours. 

Only a facial plastic surgeon can make the skin fit the frame snugly once again.

This, essentially, is the idea behind facial plastic surgery whose goal is rejuvenation – surgery which can help some people look as much as 10 to 15 years younger.
