About your concern
Understanding facial volume loss
Facial volume loss is a reduction in the fullness and support beneath the skin. It may make the cheeks look flatter, the temples appear hollow or folds around the mouth become more noticeable.
Ageing affects facial fat, bone and skin, while weight changes and genetics influence where these differences show. The result can be a face that looks less supported rather than simply more lined.
Considering how the areas of your face work together is important. Restoring support in one area may be more appropriate than treating every visible fold separately.
Recommendations
Recommended treatments for facial volume loss
Profhilo Structura
Profhilo Structura is designed for selected age-related changes involving superficial facial fat. It may be discussed where the concern centres on support through the mid and lower face.
Full Face Rejuvenation
Our Full Face Rejuvenation filler package considers several areas together. It can suit someone whose concern involves overall balance and support, rather than a single isolated hollow.
Cheek Filler
Cheek filler can add volume and support to suitable areas of the mid-face. It may be considered when flattening or hollowing through the cheeks is changing facial balance.
Your questions
Facial volume loss FAQs
Why does my face look thinner even though my weight is stable?
Facial tissues change with age independently of body weight. Changes in fat compartments and underlying structure can make some areas appear flatter or more hollow.
Is facial volume loss the same as sagging skin?
No. Volume loss relates to reduced fullness or support, while skin laxity describes looseness. Both can contribute to a heavier or less defined lower face.
Does restoring facial volume mean making my face look bigger?
Not necessarily. The amount and placement matter. A plan can focus on selected areas of lost support, although adding volume is not appropriate for every concern.
Can volume loss make the under-eye area look darker?
Hollows can create shadows that look like dark circles. However, pigmentation, skin thickness and other factors also contribute. Our under-eye concerns page explains those differences.
