Mothers And Daughters Follow The Same Ageing Process
The old saying of you can tell how a girl will turn out when she’s older by looking at her mother really is true. A U.S. study lately established that daughters actually age and wrinkle like their mothers.
By studying facial imaging and 3D computer modeling, plastic surgeons were capable of studying the aging process and found daughter’s wrinkle patterns tend to follow their mothers in terms of drooping 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 comparable looking mother-daughter pairs aged between 15 and 90 to assess changes in the aging female face. The mothers had comparable skeletal and cellular structure which allowed researchers to determine the volume loss in the lower eyelid which started when women were in their mid-30s and continued throughout their life.
Researchers believe that this study’s findings will function as a further principle for cosmetic rejuvenation of the eye vicinity. At present, eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures used to reduce crow’s feet and sagging all-around the eyes which makes the face appear much younger.
In 2008 eyelid surgery was the fourth most prevalent type of cosmetic surgery in the U.S. Some of these procedures were necessary because patient’s eyelids were drooping so much that they had a difficult time keeping their eyes open. But, the majority of patients had the procedure done with the goal of reducing wrinkles.
Why is it women are expected to be beautiful in every way? It seems that the media and daily life means that women have to stay perfect and good looking or they’re worthless. They spend hours and a lot of money on their hair, cosmetics, skin treatments, waxing, nails, clothes, surgeries, and everything else. When did Americans get so worried about looks?
What happened to aging gracefully? Now you see women that are 65 and seem like they’re 40. Those are the fortunate women but what about those that have had plastic surgery so numerous times that they end up looking like a cat and are almost entirely plastic. This is not attractive and it would have been better to have a few wrinkles rather than some .
Women nowadays are hard-working and have a lot of responsibilities. They work, raise children, participate in their church and community organizations, not to mention many other things. Nonetheless, 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 if not many women don’t feel valued or good looking to not only men but other women.
