FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
genetically predisposed to them, genetic make-up from our parents
heredity
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
the number of facial markings we have increase with age: loss of muscle mass, stretching of the skin, and how our skin was cared for throughout our life
age

Muscle striation
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
If we are lying on our backs in a supine position, the sag will be posterior and later.
Position of the body
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
The state that the deceased is in when the embalmer receives it can affect the facial markings. A body that has been disfigured due to an accident or disease may have markings that have been partially or completely altered and need to be reproduced through restorative procedures. Folding of excess tissue can give the appearance of someone looking older
Condition of the body
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
A disease can change the appearance of facial markings.
Pathological condition
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
excess moisture can make the face appear unrecognizable. Removes or lessens the effect of wrinkles and facial marking. Opposite effect of weight loss.
Corpulence

The lateral margins are slightly raised. They form an irregular parenthetical curve; meaning it is shaped like a parenthesis (). The greatest depth of the philtrum corresponds to its widest part. The philtrum can become obscured in very old age
Philtrum
a natural facial marking;goes from the nose the lips to the corner of mouth. The eminence of the cheek and adjacent to the mouth, extending from the superior part of the posterior margin of the wing of the nose to the side of the mouth. Its elevation will vary according to the amount of tissue
Nasolabial fold
Linear outline of the nasolabial fold
Curved- gentle curve,
Straight- less curvature
Sinuous (backward S)
adjust color rather than say use of make-up, no written permission required. Minimum effort, skill, and time to complete
minor restoration
written permission required for restorative procedure. Long period of time, are extensive, required advance technical skill, time to complete

restorative art
