What are the signs of aging on the face and neck over time, and what would the appropriate treatment of them be?

From 30 to 40 years of age:

The upper eyelid skin becomes excessive and crow’s feet are formed in the periocular area. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty and botox injection would solve these problems. Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid would slow future signs of aging.

From 40 to 50 years of age:

Nasolabial folds become deeper, transverse wrinkles on the forehead and vertical frown glabellar lines are formed. Proper treatment would be a combination of hyaluronic acid fillers and Botox to treat wrinkles and peeling or laser resurfacing to improve skin appearance. If there is a fall in the eyebrow we can perform forehead lift and blepharoplasty if there are bags in the lower eyelids.

From 50 to 60 years of age:

Neck wrinkles are formed, the jawline becomes less distinctive. There are jowls and the tip of the nose descends. The best treatment is a facelift and / or cervical lift and rhinoplasty of the nasal tip. Radiofrequency and more ablative laser treatment would also improve the results.

From 60 to 80 years of age:

Skin and subcutaneous tissue are atrophied, which contributes to the formation of wrinkles and growing skin bags. The best treatment option is surgery.
