COSMETIC TREATMENT

Volume & Lift

As we age, we start to lose volume in certain areas of the face which can make us look tired and sunken. This is caused by the body’s decreased ability to produce collagen and elastin.

Loss of facial volume can be a natural result from weight loss, excess sun exposure, smoking, medical conditions, or the aging process. Areas of the face may begin to lose their structural support as natural collagen production declines, along with an individual's youthful appearance.

INDICATIONS

  • Over time the cheek fat pad or ‘malar fat pad’ starts to drop as a result of volume loss. This can have considerable effect on other areas of your face.

  • Insufficient volume in the chin can result in a weak or recessed chin profile, affecting facial balance and proportions.

  • Loss of volume in the lips can result in thinning or flattening of the lips, which may affect facial balance and overall attractiveness.

  • Marionette lines, the vertical lines that extend from the corners of the mouth downward, can become more pronounced with age and volume loss in the lower face.

  • Deepening of the nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, can occur due to volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face.

  • Loss of volume along the jawline can lead to a less defined or sagging jawline appearance.

COMMON CONCERNS

Facial contouring

Facial contouring, rejuvenation and beautification revolve around achieving a more harmonious and balanced appearance. These concerns often stem from a desire to enhance natural features, address asymmetry, profile balancing, or even highlight or reduce prominence from certain features.

INDICATIONS

INFORMATION

FAQs

  • Facial volume loss is primarily caused by the natural aging process, which leads to a reduction in collagen, elastin, and fat in the skin. Other factors such as genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle choices, and medical conditions can also contribute to volume loss in the face.

  • Facial volume loss can begin as early as in one's 30s but becomes more noticeable as people reach their 40s and beyond. However, the timing and extent of volume loss can vary from person to person, depending on factors like genetics, lifestyle, and sun exposure.

  • Signs of facial volume loss may include hollowed or sunken areas in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes, as well as a flattening of the cheeks and a less defined jawline. Wrinkles and folds may also appear more pronounced as volume diminishes.

  • Facial volume loss can contribute to an aged or tired appearance, as it can result in sagging skin, deepening of wrinkles and folds, and a loss of facial contours and definition. It can also affect facial symmetry and harmony, leading to changes in overall facial aesthetics.

  • Individuals who are in good overall health and have specific concerns or goals related to their facial appearance. They may seek facial contouring to address issues such as weak chin, flat cheeks, asymmetry, sagging skin, or lack of facial definition.
