From article:
"The signs of aging – sagging skin and wrinkles - may come from deteriorating facial bones, according to a study released Tuesday in the medical journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
CT scans of facial bones in 20 young, 20 middle-aged and 20 older people were compared. Dr. Robert Shaw Jr., a plastic surgeon at the University of Rochester Medical Center and his co-authors found that the facial bones - much as other bones in the body - shrink with age.
“What we (plastic surgeons) focus on is the aging of soft tissue - how skin and fat ages,” he said. “Those aren’t the only structures in your face. Bones provide scaffolding and your muscles, fats and skin drape over bones. If you tighten skin, but the scaffolding has deteriorated it’s not going to bring patients back to a youthful look.”
Researchers observed the following changes:
- Eye sockets became wider and longer with age. This could result in sinking of the eyeball into the sockets, which alters how the soft tissue in your upper brows rolls over the bones.
- The bones in the middle of the face such as the brows, nose and upper jaw shrank too. These changes may lead to drooping brow bones and formation of creases near the eyes and crow’s feet."

It's important to replace any lost teeth with bridges or implants for this same reason.

Good point!
FlexEffect uses the Jolting™ technique (IIRC) to stimulate bone growth too. Other programs have techniques too, such as the YamunaBalls method. |

| Don't forget there is the pressure reps too. I don't jolt as much as I first did, as I kind of scarred myself with it and read somewhere someone's ideas that it was bad and so it put me off for a while, but I still do the pressure reps and really believe that's major with the bones and stopping them diminishing. |

While this article is talkng about resistance training for the body, I don't doubt the same logic can be applied to the face:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/9927006/
Here's an article on how face exercise can have an effect on reducing bone loss. Probably explains the increased fullness and apparent lift in Sanford Bennett's face when he was older after years of face exercises and also why people who do face exercise seem to age better than those who don't:
