Volume Loss

The complexion of a young adult has smooth skin that is firm and full of volume and bounce. Getting older can often give way to a range of facial concerns that can be attributed to the loss of volume to the internal structure of the face and skin. Lines and wrinkles, flattened cheeks, sagging skin and jowls affect the youthful definition and contouring of the features, giving a tired look to the overall appearance.

Collagen and elastin are two proteins that are found naturally in the skin. In our 20’s these substances start to decline at a rate of 1% each year. The effects of this process will often not show until a person is in their 30’s, when the skin will have become weak and tissue density will have reduced. A loss of internal volume provides less support for the surface layers of the skin from which loose and sagging skin can develop. As the complexion loses elasticity, it is less able to find its original form through facial movements that cause the skin and muscles to stretch and bounce back – the ideal scenario from which wrinkles can appear. Facial volume loss and sagging skin leads to concerns that are visible on the mid to lower areas of the face. Due to the lack of mass below the superficial layers of the skin and the descent of the internal fat pads, the lower half of the face adopts a heavy appearance.
