She had a circle of devoted deaf friends, but unlike a deaf person today, who might be able to finger-spell every word in the Oxford English Dictionary, they used a language without an alphabet, just a shorthand lingo of hand and facial signs whose vocabulary seldom exceeded five hundred words.
For example, they could be taught to look out for the facial signs of untrustworthiness.
However, gravity is not the primary underlying cause of facial signs of aging.
The severity of facial signs, all impacted by sun exposure, better correlated with perceived apparent age than real/chronological age.
Soft tissue fillers may be more effective when used within a comprehensive strategy that addresses the underlying morphological causes that produce facial signs of aging.
The fact that almost all clinical facial signs appear better correlated with perceived apparent age than real/chronological age is, we believe, a very important finding.
A new reference clinical atlas of facial signs dedicated to photoaging was applied to 301 Chinese women of various ages through standardized photographs.
On the other hand, unlike our previous findings obtained in French women 8 where approximately 20% of facial signs appeared only chronologically related (intrinsic aging), all facial signs recorded in the studied Chinese women were, to various extents, sun-related, with, however, lower amplitudes (absolute differences in scorings).
In addition, in the list of minor criteria of the skeletal system, three of five facial signs had to be present to fulfill one item in the list of minor criteria.
