A gracefully aging face is a beautiful thing, but there are changes that occur with age that we would like to slow down. Age affects every nook and cranny of the body. Along with the wisdom, experience, and accomplishments that come with getting older, there are changes that occur in our outward appearance. Changes in our faces are most at the forefront.
Dozens of changes take place as the years add up, some of them obvious and familiar:
There are also structural rearrangements going on behind the scenes. When we're young, fat in the face is evenly distributed, with some pockets here and there that plump up the forehead, temples, cheeks, and areas around the eyes and mouth. With age, that fat loses volume, clumps up, and shifts downward, so features that were formerly round may sink, and skin that was smooth and tight gets loose and sags. Meanwhile other parts of the face gain fat, particularly the lower half, so we tend to get baggy around the chin and jowly in the neck.
And, of course, there are the wrinkles. Those deep ones in the forehead and between the eyebrows are called expression, or animation, lines. They're the result of facial muscles continually tugging on, and eventually creasing, the skin. Other folds may get deeper because of the way fat decreases and moves around. Finer wrinkles are due to sun damage, smoking, and natural degeneration of elements of the skin that keep it thick and supple.
Even if you have great genes and look much younger than you are, age-related changes in our facial appearance are unavoidable. Those changes reflect our joys and challenges in life. One approach is to simply celebrate our age and appearance for what they are.
Not everyone is comfortable with that, and some might like to postpone embracing those changes. The age-defying facelift, which surgically removes excess tissue and lifts sagging skin in the lower part of the face, is one way to try to stem the tides of time. Facelifts have improved, so the results tend to look more natural. But the surgery is expensive, and other procedures may be needed to achieve the desired results. The facelift procedure is just one of the more popular cosmetic procedures; there are plenty of alternatives for altering the aging face.
Although most of these rejuvenating procedures are nonsurgical, they're not inexpensive — especially when you factor in the need for repeat treatments.
Here is just a sample of some of the things that you can do — or get done — to give your face a more youthful appearance:
Sun protection. Protecting your face from the sun is the single best way of keeping it youthful. Much of the damage comes from the UVA part of the light spectrum, so you need to put on sunscreen that protects against it and UVB light, which causes sunburn. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat is also a good idea.
Creams and lotions. Moisturizers soothe dry skin and may temporarily make wrinkles less noticeable. Moisturizers for the face contain water to make them less greasy, and many have substances — glycerin, for example — that may help bind water to the skin. Exfoliant creams can improve the appearance of older skin by getting rid of dead skin cells that don't slough off as readily as they did when we were young.
Several prescription creams (Avita, Avage, Renova, Retin-A) have been shown to reduce wrinkles and so-called liver spots caused by sun exposure. These FDA-approved creams contain retinoids, compounds related to vitamin A that seem to work by inducing collagen production in the dermis and altering melanin, the pigment that causes liver spots. There are several varieties of retinoids. Tazarotene and tretinoin are two of the ones used in the FDA-approved products.
Botulinum toxin injections. These injections are used to treat the expression lines of the forehead and between the brows. They work by partially immobilizing the muscles that form expression lines so the skin smoothes out, although some deep expression lines may not go away. Botox is the familiar brand name. Other FDA-approved botulinum toxins are Myobloc and Dysport.
Dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are used to treat lines created by lost collagen and fat. After botulinum toxin injections, dermal filler injections are the most common cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. Prime locations for the injections are two sets of parentheses: the pair of lines that extend down from the nose to the corners of the mouth, known as the nasolabial folds, and another pair that extends down from the corners of the mouth to the chin, known as marionette lines.
Many different materials are used as dermal filler. Collagen has fallen out of favor. Currently, the most popular one is hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar found naturally in many tissues. Hyaluronic acid is more expensive than collagen but lasts longer—up to six months in the nasolabial folds. Like botulinum toxin injections, the effect of the dermal filler shots wears off after several months — how long depends on the injection site—but with repeat injections it seems to last a little longer.
Laser treatments. Lasers can be used to home in on certain pigments: brown, if the goal is to get rid of freckles and liver spots, red if the target is broken capillaries. They're also used for wholesale resurfacing of facial skin. The uppermost layers are stripped away, and with them, wrinkles from sun damage and scars from acne. The energy from some "nonablative" resurfacing lasers passes through the outer layer of the skin to work at a deeper level, in the dermis, to stimulate inflammation, which leads to collagen formation.
Skin needs time to recover after most laser treatments. It can take a couple of weeks to heal, depending on the type and extent of the treatment. The nonablative treatments tend to heal a bit faster.

As we get older, we tend to gain weight — and not just because we’re less active. Instead, we lose muscle mass as we age, which lowers our body’s resting metabolic rate, Lauren Blake , a dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, told Fox News. (The lower our body’s resting metabolic rate, the fewer calories our body burns at rest.)
Where the weight goes Age doesn’t just pack on the pounds — it changes where those pounds go. The culprit? Sex hormones. As these decrease over time, men and women’s weights tend to shift in predictable ways.
For men, that means more belly fat as they lose testosterone, Blake said. Men’s testosterone levels start to gradually decrease after about age 30.
For women, the change is later but much more sudden. Right before menopause, typically in a woman’s 40s or early 50s, her estrogen levels begin to wane, Blake said. Fat deposits then tend to move toward the hip, thighs, and buttocks, though Blake pointed out that everyone is different.
Eduard Tiozzo , PhD, a researcher at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine who studies exercise, nutrition and chronic illness, told Fox News that during and after menopause, many women also see their weight shift toward the middle, turning into visceral fat, which surrounds the abdominal organs. Visceral fat can leave you at an increased risk of developing certain diseases.
Can you help stop these weight shifts? The good news is that these weight shifts aren’t inevitable: Fitter and healthier people tend to have less of a problem with them, Blake noted.
“The biggest thing is to be consistent with our healthy eating and exercise,” she said, adding that weight training is especially essential to prevent the loss of lean muscle mass, a process that can make our bodies less metabolically active. And opting for a high-fiber diet full of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help stave off the weight gain that would turn into excess pounds.
Tiozzo agreed on the importance of resistance training to preserve muscle mass, and noted that high-intensity cardio (think alternating sprints and walks) can help your body more effectively break down visceral fat compared to low-intensity cardio (such as a longer bout of walking with no change in pace), even if you burn the same amount of calories in each session.
And what about improving one specific body area? Both experts agreed that, unfortunately, there’s no way to reduce fat in just one portion of your body — it’s about burning calories and losing weight overall.

Passing gas, farting, tooting, flatulence ... There are many names for what happens when your digestive system releases air through your rectum. Most of the time, flatulence is completely normal. Most people pass gas at least 14 times per day. 
Some people do it more, some people do it less. How often you pass gas depends on your diet, what medications you take, and other things. But many people have more flatulence as they age.
Some experts believe that as you get older, you fart more because your metabolism slows down. The food sits longer in your digestive system , creating more gas. Also, your stomach makes less of the acid needed to digest food well.
What’s more, your digestive system is made up of muscles. These muscles lose strength as you age, further slowing down your digestive system and possibly leading to more gas. 
Other reasons for you might pass more gas as you age could be:
Some possible causes of flatulence that aren’t tied to aging include:
You may want to talk to your doctor to get some advice, especially if your gas is loud or smelly.
Most of the time, gas is normal and perfectly healthy, even if you have more of it as you age. See a doctor if you have more gas than usual along with any of these symptoms:

As you get older, new stomach symptoms — as well as more serious digestive system disorders — can crop up.
Your digestive system works hard every day to digest the food you consume. After years of this, you may start to see some changes in your digestive health .
That’s because aging, though it does not affect the digestive system the same way it does other organs in the body, is a risk factor for some issues, including colon cancer, acid reflux, stomach sensitivity to medications and a decreased absorption of some vitamins.

This is partially because as we grow older, our stomachs produce less acid. Without acid’s protection, hard-on-the-stomach medications, such as ibuprofen, may become harder to bear.
And just as the muscles throughout your body might tire more easily than they did in your 20s and 30s, the muscles in your gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus and bowel, can slow down. This often leads to increased symptoms, such as acid reflux or constipation, respectively, over age 65.
Here’s more on what to watch for as you age.
Our digestive system moves food through our bodies through a series of muscle contractions. As we age, this process can slow down.
When that happens, more water from the food is absorbed into the body, which can lead to constipation. Staying hydrated is very important to help prevent constipation . Inactivity can also contribute to constipation, so remember to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity four days a week.
The medicines we take to help with one physical problem can contribute to another.
Medications taken for high blood pressure or muscle and joint pain can lead to constipation,— so remember your water and activity levels. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and COX-2 inhibitors, can increase your risk of stomach bleeding and ulcers. If you take these medications, take note of the color of your stool, and tell your doctor if it’s dark or shows sign of blood.
It is recommended that most people have their first colonoscopy at age 50. This is because the risk of developing polyps in your colon increases at that age. Noncancerous polyps can become cancerous, so it’s important to have a colonoscopy to identify and remove any polyps before cancer develops.
Diverticulosis is quite common in those over age 60. It occurs when the small pouches that line the colon bulge out in weak spots along the intestinal wall. Some people may have no symptoms when this happens, while others can experience gas, bloating, cramps or constipation. Diverticulosis typically does not require treatment, but when the pocket becomes inflamed, you can develop stomach pain, cramping, fever, chills and vomiting. This can be treated with pain relievers, antibiotics and diet changes.
Although a person of any age can develop gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) , it is quite common among older adults.
Someone with GERD has stomach acid that backs up into their esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. Left untreated, that acid can change the lining of your esophagus and lead to a condition called Barrett’s esophagus . A small number of those with Barrett’s esophagus can develop esophageal cancer. There are many treatment options for GERD and Barrett’s esophagus, so discuss any symptoms you have with your doctor.
Older adults who are obese or who have high triglycerides or diabetes are at a higher risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease , a condition where fat accumulates in the liver. It’s the most common type of liver disease in the country and can cause scarring of the liver tissue. Over time, patients can develop liver cancer or failure.
Although there are often no symptoms, the condition can be diagnosed with a blood test of liver enzymes and an ultrasound. There are treatments to help prevent and even reverse liver damage, so it’s important to seek and follow treatment from your doctor.
