Volume Loss

In Missoula, MT

What Is Volume Loss?

Volume loss occurs as a natural part of the aging process, leading to hollow cheeks, sunken under-eyes, and a less defined facial structure. This happens when collagen, elastin, and fat stores diminish, causing skin to sag and features to lose their youthful fullness. While volume loss is a common sign of aging, modern aesthetic treatments can restore balance and enhance facial contours, offering a refreshed, youthful appearance.

What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?

Aging Process: Declining levels of collagen, elastin, and fat contribute to a loss of facial fullness.

Sun Damage: UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, worsening volume loss.

Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, stress, and poor nutrition can deplete skin’s elasticity and structure over time.

Genetics: Natural facial structure and genetic predisposition affect how volume loss presents.

Weight Changes: Significant fluctuations in weight can contribute to fat loss in the face, leading to hollowness.
