The Secret to Having a Younger Face
Mankind
has spent thousands of years searching for a ways to stay young and youthful
looking. While tales of things like the Fountain of Youth may simply be myth,
Dr. Peter Kim, plastic surgeon at EFIL Plastic Surgery Center in Daegu, Korea, offers some medical insight into some of the
reasons why we age and tips on how to fight the signs of it on our faces.
If you
take a look at an animal (common everyday animals like dogs, cats, birds,
etc.), is it possible to tell the age of the animal by looking at its face?
Chances are, the answer to that question is 'no'. It's obvious when animals are
young -- think pups, kittens and chicks -- but not quite as easy to tell an
adult from an animal advanced in age. Aging in animals simply is not very well
expressed in the face.
With that
said, what makes human beings so different? For starters, animals, mammals in
particular, generally tend to walk or
crawl on four legs. Of course there are exceptions, but the general rule is
that, in any given animal, the heart and brain are going to be very close to
horizontal to one another. What about in humans? We humans stand upright. Our
brains and hearts are vertical to one another.
Due to
the position of the brain being vertical to that of the heart, the heart has to
work harder, against gravity, to get blood up to the brain. This isn't a
problem for most of us when we are young, but as we get older -- and physically
less active -- our circulatory systems become less efficient at getting blood
up to the brain and, unfortunately, to our faces.
Dr. Kim
explains the importance of getting adequate blood flow to the face in
maintaining a youthful appearance, and even his advice on how to do so. If you
