Facial Volume Loss

Volume loss in the face is a natural part of the ageing process. Facial volume loss occurs when the ageing process begins and the structure of the face is altered. Some main indicators of facial volume loss are sagging skin, a heavier appearance on the lower part of the face, and a loss of definition and contours.

As we age, a number of physical changes occur, such as the loss of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, as well as the thinning of bone density, meaning that the younger-looking facial appearance and shape deteriorates. Due to this volume loss in the face, people are left with a heavier lower face and jawline area, flatter and thinner cheeks, and an overall sagging of the skin.
