The old saying of you can tell what a girl will look like when she's older by looking at her mother really is true. A U.S. study recently found that daughters do age and wrinkle like their mothers.
Through studying facial imaging and 3D computer modeling, plastic surgeons were able to study the aging process and found daughter's faces tend to follow their mothers in terms of sagging and volume loss; especially, around the lower eyelids, and corners of their eyes.
The study used three-dimensional computer modeling to measure changes in the aging female face. The study examined 10 sets of similar looking mother-daughter pairs aged between 15 and 90 to measure changes in the aging female face. The mother and daughter pairs had similar skeletal and cellular make up which allowed researchers to determine that volume loss in the lower eyelid begins when a woman is in her mid-30s and continues throughout her life.
Researchers believe that this study's findings will serve as a further guideline for cosmetic rejuvenation of the eye area. Currently, eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures used to reduce crow's feet and sagging around the eyes which makes the face look much younger.
In 2008 eyelid surgery was the fourth most popular type of cosmetic surgery in the U.S. Some of these procedures were necessary though because patient's eyelids were drooping so much that they had a difficult time keeping their eyes open. However, most patients had the procedure done with the intent of reducing wrinkles.
Why is it women are expected to be beautiful in every way? It seems that the media and everyday life means that women have to stay perfect and good looking or they're worthless. They spend hours and thousands of dollars on their hair, makeup, skin treatments, waxing, nails, clothes, procedures, and everything else. When did Americans get so concerned about looks?
Whatever happened to aging gracefully? Now you see women that are 65 and look like they're 40. Those are the fortunate women but what about those that have had plastic surgery so many times that they end up looking like a cat and complete plastic. This is not attractive and it would have been better to have a few wrinkles rather than some unknown creature.
Women today are busy and have a lot of responsibilities. They work, raise families, participate in their church and community organizations, not to mention many other things. Yet, they must spend time maintaining not only their figures but their beauty. If women choose to do these things that's fine but society has put a lot of stress and importance on women's looks and this is something that shouldn't be a top priority but it is because otherwise many women don't feel valued or attractive to not only men but other women.
