Our expert team specializes in restoring natural facial fullness through personalized dermal filler treatments that bring back the vibrant, refreshed look you remember.
Free ConsultationWhat Is Facial Volume Loss?
Facial volume loss is the gradual depletion of fat, collagen and bone in the face that occurs as part of the aging process. This loss of structural support causes the skin to sag and creates hollows in areas that were once full and rounded. The face loses its youthful contours as fat pads shrink and shift downward, while the underlying bone structure gradually recedes. This multidimensional change affects the entire facial architecture, creating shadows, deepening folds and altering the overall balance and harmony of facial features.

Where Does Facial Volume Loss Occur?
Facial volume loss can affect multiple areas of the face, creating distinct changes in appearance. Common areas of volume loss include the:
- Temples: Hollowing at the temples creates a skeletal appearance and can make the forehead appear more prominent
- Under-eyes: The tear trough area becomes hollow, creating dark circles and a perpetually tired look
- Cheeks: Loss of cheek fullness causes the face to appear gaunt and can accentuate nasolabial folds
- Lips: Thinning lips lose their definition, and the cupid’s bow becomes less pronounced
- Jawline: Volume loss along the jaw creates jowls and disrupts the clean line from ear to chin
- Chin: The chin may appear to recede as bone density decreases and soft tissue diminishes
- Hands: While not facial, hand volume loss reveals tendons and veins, creating an aged appearance
What Causes Facial Volume Loss?
Multiple factors contribute to the progressive loss of facial volume, beginning as early as your late 20s and accelerating with each passing decade. The natural aging process causes fat cells to shrink and collagen production to slow dramatically. By age 30, you lose approximately one percent of collagen per year, and this decline continues throughout life. The facial fat pads that provide youthful fullness begin to atrophy and descend due to gravity, while the underlying facial bones undergo resorption, particularly around the eye sockets and jaw.
Lifestyle factors can accelerate volume loss significantly. Sun exposure breaks down your collagen and elastin fibers, while smoking restricts blood flow and depletes the skin of vital nutrients. Extreme weight loss, whether intentional or due to illness, can dramatically reduce facial fat stores. Stress, poor nutrition and inadequate sleep all compromise the body’s ability to maintain healthy skin structure. Certain medications and medical conditions can also contribute to accelerated facial volume depletion.
