Facial Volume Loss

Youthful faces have soft, even fullness across the cheeks, temples, lips and jawline. From our late twenties onwards the fat pads that support the mid-face gradually shrink and slide downwards, the bone of the cheeks and jaw slowly remodels, and the skin produces less collagen and hyaluronic acid. The result is a face that can look tired, hollow or sad even when you feel well: flatter cheeks, deeper lines from the nose to the mouth, marionette lines, thinner lips and a less defined jawline.

Volume loss is not only about age. Significant weight loss, including weight loss with medication, endurance sport, genetics, smoking and years of sun exposure can all make the face look leaner or older than you would like. Because every face ages differently, replacing volume is not about filling every line. The aim is to restore support in the right places, in the right amounts, so you look fresher and more rested while still looking like yourself.

At Skin Anatomy, Magdalena Wasiewicz, our Founder and Lead Aesthetic Practitioner, starts with a free consultation to assess your facial structure, skin quality and medical history, and to understand what bothers you most. Many clients are surprised that a small amount of product placed in the cheeks can soften the lines lower down the face. We favour a gradual, conservative approach, review you after treatment and will always tell you honestly if a different treatment, or no treatment, is the better choice. All injectable treatments are for adults aged 18 and over.
