One of the most significant yet least talked about signs of ageing is the gradual loss of facial volume. As the fat pads, collagen and even bone that support our features diminish, cheeks flatten, temples hollow, and folds around the mouth deepen.
Restoring lost volume is transformative when done well. Our skilled injectors use a natural, architectural approach replacing volume exactly where it has been lost so you look refreshed and lifted, never overfilled.
Understanding Loss of Facial Volume
From our 30s onwards, the deep fat compartments of the face slowly shrink and shift downward, while bone structure gradually resorbs. This deflation is why faces appear “tired” or “drawn” with age often before wrinkles become prominent.
Common Causes
- Ageing: natural loss of deep facial fat, collagen and bone support
- Weight loss: significant weight reduction often deflates the face
- Genetics: some people naturally have less facial fat
- Lifestyle: intense exercise, smoking and sun exposure accelerate volume loss
How We Treat Loss of Facial Volume
Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include flatter cheeks, hollowing under the eyes or at the temples, deepening smile lines and a less defined jawline. A consultation with our injectors will map exactly where volume has changed.
No our philosophy is natural restoration. We replace volume conservatively and strategically, often over more than one session, so the result is a refreshed version of you.
Fillers give an immediate result, while Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your own collagen over several months. Many clients benefit from a combination of both.
Dermal fillers typically last 9-24 months depending on the product and area. Collagen stimulators like Sculptra can last two years or more.
