The purpose of this thesis is to identify and discuss possible factors that affect facial aging, which involves bone remodelling caused by progressive resorption of craniofacial bones. During the life, muscles become weaker as a result of muscle aging and activity, which leads to atrophy. In addition, their attachment to bones changes because of a decline in bone mass. Skin elasticity reduces with age, thus wrinkles are formed, skin colour changes and blood flow is impaired.
