And, if you can bear the suspense, strange transformations happen in life’s final moments. This may be impractical at a cocktail party, but some cosmetic surgeons tell patients contemplating a face-lift to study their faces in a mirror from a supine position-it gives you an idea of how much fresher you will look when the cutting, pulling, stitching, bruising, swelling, and scabbing from the operation finally heal. If your jaw has started to sag, and you want to be seen from your best angle, lie flat on your back. On the other hand, grinning as you bear the ravages of time may further crinkle the papery tissue around your eyes and deepen the nasolabial folds on either side of your mouth. Worrying about wrinkles is imprudent, because it will probably beget more wrinkles. When I turned my face toward the window, the line softened a little in the light, but didn’t vanish. I was brushing my teeth at the bathroom mirror of a hotel in Copenhagen, and I thought, at first, that the dark line at a right angle to my eyebrow was a shadow. Where were you when President Kennedy was shot? That’s a trick question, because, if you are old enough to remember, you are eligible for my next question: When did you notice your first wrinkle? I can tell you exactly when I did.
