Volume Loss

in Vienna, VA

What Is Volume Loss?

Volume loss refers to a gradual decrease in facial fullness due to aging, fat loss, and decreased collagen production. It often leads to hollowed cheeks, sunken eyes, and a less youthful appearance. Volume loss can also cause sagging skin and deepened wrinkles, contributing to an aged look. Modern aesthetic treatments can restore volume and rejuvenate the face, giving it a more youthful and natural appearance.

What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?

Aging
Natural collagen and fat loss reduce facial volume over time.
Significant weight loss can result in a hollow facial appearance.
UV rays degrade collagen and elastin, accelerating volume loss.
Some individuals are predisposed to volume loss earlier in life.
Smoking, poor diet, and dehydration can contribute to the breakdown of facial volume.
