The muscular morphotype is more common in women with Asian appearance. Representatives of this type have moderately moist and moderately oily and elastic skin. Their facial muscles are very well developed, while subcutaneous fat is almost absent. Therefore, on such a face, age-related changes do not appear at all for a long time, and then at the same time the muscles weaken and sag, the face seems to “dry out”: nasolabial wrinkles and wrinkles on the forehead worsen, pigmentation appears. At the same time, the skin of the cheeks remains even and smooth, and the contours of the face remain clear until old age.
This type is not inherent in the Slavic race; it is characterized by impaired pigmentation, folding of the eyelids, pronounced nasolabial folds, and marionette wrinkles. At the same time, the skin of the cheeks remains even and smooth, and the oval of the face is preserved until old age. A well-known representative of this morphotype of aging of the Slavic race is actress Sigourney Weaver
The patient's aging morphotype must be taken into account for adequate correction of age-related changes.
