What Is Volume Loss?

Volume loss in the face is a natural part of aging, leading to hollowness, sagging, and a sunken appearance, particularly around the cheeks and temples. It occurs as the face loses collagen, fat, and elasticity over time. These changes can make the face look tired or gaunt, impacting overall facial harmony. Treatments for volume loss focus on restoring a youthful contour and fullness to the face, helping to rejuvenate and enhance natural features.

What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?

Aging

Collagen and fat loss naturally occur with age.

Sun Exposure

UV damage accelerates skin aging and volume depletion.

Genetics

Smoking

Poor Nutrition

Extreme Exercise

This tends to cause fat loss in the face as well as the body. In the face, it can lead to a more aged appearance.

GLP1 medications (Ozempic Face)

These types of weight loss medications cause fat loss and muscle wasting in the face and body. In the face, these losses can lead to more sunken features and aged appearance.
