1. To review the anatomic features of facial aging, and the factors that it occurs in. 2. To realize the human anatomy and CT/MRI imaging anatomy of the face. 3. To explain the comparison of imaging features with anatomic features of the facial structures affecting facial aging.  

1. Aging process in morphology: facial aging appearance, and its principles 2. Human anatomy: facial structures Facial muscles Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS） Retinacula cutis (RC） Fat layers 3. CT/MR imaging anatomy of the face: description based on human anatomy 4. Interpretation: facial structures affecting aging changes 5. Summary:       1) It is necessary to know the physiological changes of the facial aging.       2) It is important to understand the superficial facial imaging features based on anatomy for the analyses mechanism of facial aging.       3) CT and MR images could contribute to evaluate for the facial aging.
