Wrinkle score assessment in the upper eyelid was possible in all Japanese females but was impossible in the 16 Caucasian females with markedly depressed upper eyelids (data not shown).

Table V compares the wrinkle scores between Cau casian and Japanese females in eight areas of the face and the sagging scores in the subzygomatic area. The wrinkle score in each area was significantly higher in the Caucasian females than in the Japanese females in the young groups aged 20-29 years. The Caucasian females showed especially high wrinkle scores in the lower eyelid, naso labial groove, cheek, and the corner of the mouth at all ages, and a marked increase in the subzygomatic sagging score in the group aged 40--49 years.
