What Is Facial Volume Loss? 

Over time, the aging process leads to an overall facial “deflation” due to thinning skin, facial fat atrophy and migration, and underlying bone loss. This deflation results in the appearance of nasal-labial and marionette-like folds around the mouth, heavy jowls, and hollowing of the upper face such as the orbit, temples, and cheek. Years of dynamic facial animation in volume-depleted regions can result in lip atrophy and “smokers” lines as well as crow’s feet. Fortunately, there are many FDA-Cleared products available to “reflate” and contour the aging face as well as add corrective options to natural asymmetries, genetic predispositions or beauty balancing. Small tweaks to hollow eyes or sunken cheeks can provide an instant refreshed look.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers have been FDA Cleared for many years and can safely be used in all areas of the face to restore volume and contour affected by the aging process. Other FDA-Cleared and approved injectable products are available for volume restoration that incorporates an intense production of natural collagen to provide a more gradual long term results, such as PRP, PLLA, and PDO Threads. In many cases, a combination of these products is necessary to achieve complete correction.
