When it comes to getting ahead of the common signs of aging, most of us spend the majority of our time, energy, and beauty budget on our skin, slathering on serums and creams that claim to induce a lit-from-within glow, indulging in fancy facials that promise immediate sculpting effects, and turning to injectables and fillers for added volume while smoothing lines and wrinkles. But one thing we don’t give enough attention to is our underlying bone structure, specifically bone density, which significantly impacts how the face ages.
As estrogen levels decline drastically during menopause, the bony structure begins to change and resorb, leading to an architectural shift deep below the surface. The foundation of the face weakens, and everything that’s built on top of it, including fat, muscle, tissue, and skin, is affected, making it seem like your face has done a complete 180 overnight.
