I think the areas that start to show aging first are most often the mid-cheek area, usually the junction of the eyelid and the cheek. We start to see early sagging and prominence in the nasojugal fold. Definition of the lines along the mouth develops and eventually you start to see jowls forming on the lower face as the skin slackens. Those are the earliest problem areas of the face that I usually see.
