It’s about sorority sisters who reconnect when they are decades older. In fact, Davis has obviously run with the notion, naming her next TV show … you guessed it Black Don’t Crack. When we watched this year’s Emmys, my friends and I marveled at Oprah Winfrey and Viola Davis, wildly guessing at their ages (63 and 52, respectively) and the age range they could be cast for. The study is being expanded to Asian and Hispanic women. These genes were found twice as often in black women as in Caucasian women. There are the Methuselah genes, which are associated with longevity and appear in women “who have not undergone cosmetic procedures but still appear to be ‘ageless,’ ” according to the 2015 findings of a Multi-Decade and Ethnicity study at Harvard Medical School. Black skin doesn’t tend to crack or get fine lines, but it may fold.”īut there’s another reason that genetics can determine who can pass for a decade or more younger and who can’t. I call the dark spot the wrinkle of brown skin. “Black people also may complain of discoloration as a sign of photoaging. “Asian skin, if it is more pigmented, is less like likely to ‘raisin,’ but it tends to spot in response to sun damage,” Strachan says. That doesn’t mean Asians don’t show any signs of aging. That’s where most of the volume of the face is” and where most people inject fillers. Think midface - the cheeks from the lower border of the eye - to just above the jawline. “The soft-tissue loss is seen and felt to a lesser extent because of the wider structure. “Asians have a wider bone structure than a typical Caucasian face,” Dobryansky notes. The rosy cheeks of a baby are full.”Īs a plastic surgeon sees it, there are structural reasons that people age differently. Youthful bodies may be thin, but youthful faces have fat. I’ve seen lots of patients who’ve lost weight for many reasons. “As we get older there’s bone loss and soft-tissue loss - that’s your raisin. “Below the surface, you have your bone structure, muscle and soft tissue,” explains Michael Dobryansky, M.D., of Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. ![]()
