Aging is something that few people look forward to, and new studies show that women will age more quickly than men. Find out more on this week’s Plastic Surgery News.
A plastic surgeon from the United Kingdom has reported findings that correspond to what California researchers are saying about female aging.
UK surgeon Norman Waterhouse said women will see signs of aging around their eyes more quickly than men do, since men and women age in different ways. He said women see a shape-shift in their faces as they grow older – changing from an oval to a square with sagging skin.
Men, on the other hand, tend to retain the shape of their face, no matter what their age is.
And, researchers at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California have presented a study showing that after age 30, women begin to show facial aging in the same pattern as their mothers.
Sources say this information can help plastic surgeons to gather family information from women who want to correct signs of aging in their face. Video plays below.
