Facial Volume Loss

Gravity’s pull combined with internal changes to the natural structure and volume of our skin, as well as lifestyle factors reduce our skin’s flexibility over time. This eventually leads to sagging. Our cheeks become less defined and start to droop, which gives the face an overall tired and drawn appearance – even if we’re feeling quite the opposite. As the fat pads in the cheeks begin to slide down, they also create pressure on the nasolabial folds (lines from the outer nostrils to the edge of the smile). This makes the fold more pronounced, which can also contribute to a fatigued appearance. 

Where did the volume go?

Over time, our facial structure naturally changes, thanks to reduced bone density and loss of facial fat. Our cheekbones provide less support for the overlaying facial fat, which then begins to move down towards the lower half of the face, creating a droopy, aged look that can impact how we feel about our looks and our confidence.  Dermal Fillers restore volume, lift and add definition to the cheeks, while at the same time replenishing the body’s stores of moisture by drawing water into the treated area.
