A Clinical Vocabulary

The Signs of Facial Aging

Surgical planning begins with a precise reading of how a face has changed. Below are the five structural patterns Dr. Mourad most often discusses during consultation — drawn from the Comprehensive Facelift Guide.

Jowling

Sagging along the jawline as cheek fat descends past the mandibular border.

Nasolabial Folds

Deepening creases from nose to mouth as midface volume shifts downward.

Marionette Lines

Vertical grooves from the corners of the mouth that reshape the lower face.

Platysmal Bands

Muscle laxity and thinning skin producing visible cords across the neck.

Submental Laxity

Loss of the cervico-mental angle as skin and platysma descend below the chin.
