The tired morphotype of aging is considered the most favorable variant of age-related changes, a unique marker of the physiological course of aging. It is most favorable for aesthetic correction. This option is typical for thin women with an oval or diamond-shaped face. A well-known representative of this aging morphotype is actress Monica Bellucci.
This morphotype (also called pasty) is characterized by a decrease in the elasticity of the soft tissues of the face and neck. This is typical for middle-aged people with normal skin in youth and moderately dry skin in adulthood, with average expression of the subcutaneous fat and muscle layer. The tissue withering has already begun, but there are no permanent wrinkles yet. The shape of the face remains unchanged, although its youthful roundness has already disappeared. The face takes on a tired appearance, nasolabial folds, swelling, decreased skin tone, and dark circles under the eyes appear. The nasolacrimal and palpebromalar grooves deepen (the depression at the border of the lower eyelid and cheek).
The patient's aging morphotype must be taken into account for adequate correction of age-related changes.
