Younger Every Year

According to Science Daily, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered why our appearance changes as we age.
The old school theory of wrinkles
Until now, scientists believed that facial fat was one big mass that turned wrinkley as it sagged under the relentless tug of that bastard, Gravity. But Drs. Rod Rohrich and Joel Pessa have found that our faces are more complex than a single fat blob. We’re actually made of individual pockets of fat that can change independently over time.
Your face is a puzzle made of fat
They discovered this by injecting different dyes into the facial cavities of cadavers. (And you thought YOUR job was bad!) Then they evaluated how the dye dispersed through fat below the skin. Surprisingly, they saw that the dye stayed separated in different areas of the face, which lead to their finding of fibrous tissues in the face that act like fences to keep areas of fat segregated.
When we’re young, these fat compartments line up like puzzle pieces to give us smooth, youthful faces. But as we age, these regions gain and lose fat and the puzzle starts to shift and crack. This shifting can cause our faces to look saggy and wrinkled.
Anti-aging treatment of the future
This new theory explains why different parts of our face, like our eyelids and cheeks, age differently. And that understanding may lead to better ways to rejuvenate the face, particularly where injectible fillers are used to add volume. It may even have implications for future research into age related diseases like obesity, diabetes and cancer. (Source: thebeautybrains.com)
