In this guide, we focus on the
maxilla, as it is often referred to as the "
bone of beauty."
It's central to facial harmony and has a major impact on how youthful or aged the face appears.
Your Face Is Built on BoneWhen we think about aging, we usually focus on the skin. But the real change begins much deeper, in your bones.
Specifically, the maxilla, the central bone of your face, quietly shapes your appearance over time. Understanding and working with it is the secret to a naturally youthful face.
What Is the Maxilla & Why Does It MatterThe maxilla is a paired bone that forms the upper jaw and the central structure
of the mid-face.
It supports your cheeks, under-eye area, nose, and upper lip. Think of it as the foundation that holds up your face.
When the maxilla is strong and well-supported:
- Your cheeks look lifted
- The area under your eyes is full and smooth
- Your smile appears youthful and defined
