Abstract

The aging face is a popular topic in modern medicine. To understand and treat unwanted signs of aging, it is imperative to understand the biological and physical causes and contributing factors to facial aging, preventative measures to avoid advanced facial aging, and current treatment options. Changes to the human face are progressive with time; however, there are many methods, both surgical and nonsurgical, to reduce the stigmata of aging and provide patients with the appearance they desire. The process of aging is discussed in this article, as well as the multiple treatment options, both surgical and nonsurgical.
