Have a face shape like Rihanna? Here’s what ageing could look like 👀

A diamond-oval face often has prominent cheekbones, a narrower forehead and a softly tapered chin.

As we age, changes in cheek volume and skin firmness can make the under-eye area appear more hollow and the lower face less defined.

Face shape gives us clues, but it doesn’t decide your future. Genetics, sun exposure and lifestyle all play a part.

In clinic, I look at your individual features, how they’re changing and what actually concerns you. It’s about maintaining the balance that makes your face yours.

Your face shape could tell us more about how you’ll age than you think… 👀

Kendall Jenner is a great example of a heart-shaped face: wider through the cheekbones and upper face, tapering towards a narrower, more delicate chin.

But as we age, it’s not simply about getting wrinkles.

Changes happen at multiple levels, from the underlying bone to facial fat and soft tissue. With a heart-shaped face, changes through the temples, under-eyes and mid-face can become particularly noticeable, sometimes creating a more hollow or angular appearance over time.

Of course, everyone ages differently. Genetics, lifestyle and skin quality all play a part.

But understanding your facial architecture can give us clues about where you might notice ageing first.

How is your skin actually looking after summer? ☀️

After months of sun, heat, holidays and probably a few days where the SPF wasn’t quite as consistent as it should have been, September is usually when we start noticing what summer has left behind.

More pigmentation?

Skin feeling drier or rougher?

Uneven skin tone?

Fine lines suddenly looking a little more noticeable?

It doesn’t mean you’ve suddenly aged over summer, but UV exposure can contribute to pigmentation changes, collagen breakdown and changes in overall skin quality over time.

This is why I love September for a little skin reset.

Get consistent with your SPF, focus on hydration and review your skincare. Then we can look at what your skin actually needs.

Whether that’s targeting pigmentation, improving texture, boosting hydration or stimulating collagen, the right treatment plan should be based on what we actually see in your skin.

If your skin is feeling like it needs a reset after summer, book a consultation with us at AMS Aesthetics and we’ll create a personalised autumn skin plan for you. 🦋

💎 If you have a diamond-shaped face, you may actually age VERY differently to your friends…

Your face shape can influence where the first signs of ageing become noticeable.

Diamond-shaped faces typically have strong cheekbone projection with a narrower forehead and jawline. That structure can be an advantage as we age, but it also creates its own ageing pattern.

As support and volume change through the face, we can start to notice hollowing around the temples and under-eyes, while definition through the lower face can gradually change.

This is exactly why I don’t believe in treating ageing with a one-size-fits-all approach.

Two people can be the exact same age and need completely different treatment plans.

Understand the face first. Treat it second. 💎

What face shape should I break down next?

The lower face was too dominant… could I soften it? Yes… 🫶🏽
We wanted to slowly slowly slowly build something over time to help soften her features and bring an element of beauty and dominance back to her mid face and mid line
We used dermal fillers to soften the jawline, chin, chin shadow, lips and ( wasn’t mentioned in the video) the smile likes to help the transition between the cheeks and smile 😊
We then used neuromodulators such as Botox to slim her face and reduce that extra width, thus, highlighting her already great cheek bones

Ever wondered why two people of the same age can age completely differently?

Your underlying facial structure is part of the answer.

As we age, changes occur across multiple layers including bone, fat, ligaments, muscle and skin.

But because we don’t all start with the same facial proportions, those changes can present very differently from one person to another.

It’s one of the reasons I find facial ageing so fascinating.

There isn’t one ageing face.

And there shouldn’t be one treatment plan for everyone either.
