Common Causes of Facial Volume Loss
Before delving into specific causes, we need to mention that volume loss is completely normal. When we’re young, facial fat is more evenly distributed, with pockets in the temples, cheeks, and around the eyes and mouth. As time passes, that changes – the fat pockets lose volume and shift downward. Formerly round, high features sink, and skin sags. At the same time, unwanted areas of the face gain fat, particularly the chin and neck.
This phenomenon is one reason why dermal fillers are the perfect treatment option for volume loss. They’re spot-specific, meaning you can replenish volume without worrying about fat gain in other areas.
Natural changes can be exacerbated by the following:
- Repeated weight loss and regain – Dieting is already complicated enough – turns out, it can also contribute to premature aging. On-and-off weight loss followed by weight gain stretches out the skin, causing it to lose elasticity and volume. Especially fit individuals also burn off too many calories to maintain facial fullness.
- Sun exposure – Any kind of excessive UV exposure will contribute to premature aging. Always protect your skin from the sun to prevent breakdown of structures like collagen and elastin. These tissues help hold everything where it belongs to maintain youthfulness and keep facial fat where you want it.
- Hormonal changes – Female hormones like estrogen carry some responsibility for the amount and quality of facial fit. Dipping hormone levels leads to lost volume.
- Thin frame – As with athletes, especially skinny individuals experience more rapid aging. A naturally thin face already has a low fat level, and what is present diminishes more rapidly.
- Bone loss – Aging also causes gradual bone loss and weakening muscles. The loss of internal facial structure impacts your outward appearance. The cheekbones and cheeks may look somewhat collapsed.
Facial fillers replenish lost fat and volume with similar substances to perk up your features and leave premature aging behind. Schedule a consultation to learn whether you could benefit from cosmetic injections.
