Common Concerns: Facial Volume Loss

About Facial Volume Loss 


Facial volume loss is a natural part of the ageing process, often resulting in a tired and sunken appearance, particularly in areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, and along the jawline. At The Cosmetic Clinic, we offer advanced dermal filler treatments that can restore lost volume, lifting and plumping key areas to restore a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Signs of Facial Volume Loss

As the face naturally loses collagen, fat, and muscle tone over time, several visible signs may appear, including:

  • Facial hollowing
  • Sagging or drooping skin
  • Loss of facial volume and support
  • A sunken or aged appearance

Causes of Facial Volume Loss

Facial volume loss is caused by a combination of factors. As we age, the skin loses collagen and elastin, while the fat pads that provide support to the face begin to shrink and descend, leading to hollowing in areas such as the cheeks, under the eyes, and along the jawline. Additionally, bone resorption occurs, where the bone structure beneath the skin, particularly in the cheeks and jaw, loses density over time.

Together, these changes result in a hollow and sagging appearance. However, through the strategic placement of dermal fillers, we can restore lost volume, structure, and support, rejuvenating facial contours and creating a more youthful look—all without the need for surgery.

Our Treatments for Facial Volume Loss

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are designed to restore lost volume, enhance facial balance, and provide lift to areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and jawline.

Lip Filler

Helps to enhance naturally thin lips for a fuller appearance that can last from four to eight months.

Facial Volume Loss FAQs

How much filler will I need to restore facial volume?

The amount of filler required will depend on the extent of volume loss and the areas being treated. Your trained medical professional will assess your needs and customise the treatment plan accordingly to achieve a natural-looking outcome.

Can dermal fillers prevent future volume loss?

Dermal fillers cannot stop the natural aging process or prevent further volume loss. However, they can help to delay visible signs of aging by restoring volume and supporting facial structures, giving a more youthful appearance. Regular treatments may help maintain your desired look as time goes on.

Are results instant?

The results from dermal fillers are often visible immediately after the treatment. However, you may experience some temporary swelling or bruising, which can obscure the outcome. Full results are usually visible within a few days to a week, once swelling has subsided.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors like metabolism. Most fillers last between 6 months to 2 years before being gradually absorbed by the body. Maintenance treatments are required to sustain results.

What areas can dermal fillers treat?

Dermal fillers are commonly used to treat areas like the cheeks, lips, under the eyes, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, jawline, and temples.

Can dermal fillers improve skin texture?

While dermal fillers are primarily used to restore volume and fill wrinkles, some fillers (such as skin hydrators & rejuvenators) can also improve the skin’s texture by stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This can help improve the overall appearance of the skin over time.
