Cheek Volume Loss

In our youth, the cheeks typically possess a natural fullness, contributing to a rounded, lifted contour and a smooth transition to the lower face. With age, several factors combine to cause a reduction in this intrinsic volume:

• Natural Fat Pad Diminishment & Redistribution: Beneath the skin, we have fat pads that contribute to facial plumpness and contour. Over time, these fat pads can shrink and shift downwards, leading to a hollowed appearance in the mid-face and potentially exacerbating the visibility of nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth).
• Collagen and Elastin Depletion: These essential proteins provide the skin with its underlying structure, firmness, and elasticity. As their production naturally declines with age, the skin loses support, contributing to sagging and a less defined cheek area.
• Bone Resorption: Even the underlying facial bones can undergo subtle changes with age, contributing to a loss of structural support for the overlying soft tissues.

The visible effects of cheek volume loss often include:

• A more flattened or hollowed appearance in the mid-face.
• A less defined cheekbone contour.
• The accentuation of lines from the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds).
• A downward shift in overall facial features, sometimes contributing to a tired or drawn look.
