What causes those deep, vertical impressions between the eyes in non-smokers?

Asked by Aster (20028points) February 13th, 2015

They can get really deep and there can be more than one. What causes them? Heredity? Dehydration? I see them more often in men.

These are caverns. I know one man who smokes a lot and has four of them, but another man who only drinks and has one deep cavern. lol They look like someone took an axe to them.

I heard that plastic surgeons call them “the eleven.” That’s because they look like the number eleven. There are no more wrinkles on non-smokers than there are on smokers. If anything, smoking makes the skin less elastic and more likely to wrinkle, so smokers would be more wrinkly.

Squinting due to poor eye sight or to being out in the sun a lot.

Those might be the frown wrinkles my wife makes when I try to bring a cigar inside the house.

Smoking and sun are the two biggest wrinkle makers I would guess. Screws with the collagen in the skin, plus other things.

Same things as cause deep vertical lines on senior’s foreheads I’d guess. You asked this three months ago.

They’re called “11’s” and they are what’s known as dynamic wrinkles. They are hereditary. This is the most common use of Botox in all cosmetic practices.
