"…a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy…" and a strong jawline, too boot, staving off a little nip/tuck for him.

Really. 

Well, maybe not. Having no idea, actually, how old Yorick was when he met his maker…but, according to the latest findings there is more bad news for the sagging, drooping set. It's your facial bones, which like the rest of your middle aged shrinking frame, that contributes to your jowly, hollowed eyed, oh my god what happened to my face, look. 

Guess which one of those two beauties is the young one. So sad.

Drinking milk, calcium supplements, and exercising your jaw muscles by chewing vigorously, or talking incessantly, don't appear to stave off any significant amount of bone loss. I am the poster girl for these maneuvers so I can attest to this.

Antidote?

Fluoride and flossing. That helps somewhat, the scientists offer us, for a shred of hopefulness. If you were considering a tooth, or two, removal for that higher cheekbone illusion, hmmm, not a good idea. Whew, aren't you glad you read this! Sunken sockets accelerate bone loss. 

Or something like that.
