Ageing in the face and neck is a complex process, and most of the time, what we want is not to run away from it, but to manage it so that the interesting changes are enhanced, and the unsightly changes are reduced or eradicated.
Because the changes that affect us involve volume, elasticity of the tissues and inevitably sagging, it is often difficult to put together a full picture, so that a suitable plan for change can be established.
An accurate photograph in 3-D brings together the information, and makes it possible to judge better what are the priorities and how much change makes things look right.
Facial rejuvenation is not all about tightening. Just tightening means increased chance of the dreaded "wind-tunnel" effect.
Volume brings softness to the facial features, but how much volume is fundamental information, to avoid excess.
Most people prefer the distinction that occurs in the facial features as we are advancing in age, but would like it enhanced by a subtle blend of fullness and tightness.

Although most of the time we see the shape changes, and become distressed about the lines of our faces and the sagging, one of the fundamental changes is in the quality of the skin.
The notion that beauty is skin deep is truly applicable in this situation, and the 3D imaging offers additional information regarding the degree of sun damage and the changes in the blood vessels of the skin, to allow properly directed action to be planned.

Most of the time, we see the changes in our face that occur along the jawline, because everybody dreads the jowls, but we rarely see the changes in the chin shape, which means that the overall plan for improvement ends a little shortsighted.
The lines that run from the corner of the mouth downwards, giving it a somewhat sad appearance, can be improved by tightening and lifting, but look better if the combination of tightening and volume restoration is used.
