Facial Volume Loss
Facial volume loss — especially in the cheeks, temples, and lips — is one of the most aging changes we see. It hollows the face and creates the shadows and folds people often try to address with skincare alone.
What it is
Facial volume loss — especially in the cheeks, temples, and lips — is one of the most aging changes we see. It hollows the face and creates the shadows and folds people often try to address with skincare alone.
Common symptoms
- Hollowing under the eyes and in the temples
- Flattening or sagging of the cheeks
- Deepening nasolabial and marionette lines
- Lip thinning and loss of definition
- A more 'tired' appearance, even when rested
What's actually causing it
Loss of subcutaneous fat pads, bone resorption, and collagen breakdown — natural, gradual processes accelerated by sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and genetics.
What happens if you ignore it
Untreated volume loss progresses every year. The mid-face continues to flatten, jowls form, and the eyes look more hollow. Skin that was once supported by underlying volume begins to drape — and once it's stretched, it's much harder to restore. Patients who address volume loss early consistently get more natural-looking results with less product than those who wait.
What recovery looks like
Fillers produce immediate restoration with minimal downtime. PDO threads add lift and stimulate collagen for 12–18 months.
