Why my face lost volume and started sagging?

Why my face lost volume and started sagging?

As we age, the ligaments that support facial fat pads weaken. Gravity gradually pulls the fat pads downward which results in mid face flattening, jowls, nasolabial folds, and under eye hollowness.

Fat pads not only shift, but they also shrink. Particularly in the midface area (cheeks, temples, under eyes), and it leads to a gaunt or sunken look.

Facial bones, especially around the eyes, jaw, and cheeks, diminish in size with age. This leads to less support for surrounding fat pads and skin.

Reduced collagen and elastin in the skin makes the skin looser, so fat pads have less structural support.

Why does the face lose volume as we age?

Facial volume loss is a natural part of ageing. Over time, we lose collagen, elastin and facial fat, and bone structure subtly changes. This causes the skin to become thinner and less supported, leading to hollowing, sagging and looks tired, particularly in the cheeks, temples and under the eyes.

What are facial fat pads?

Facial fat pads are pockets of fat that sit beneath the skin and give the face its plump structure and softness. When we’re younger, these fat pads are full and positioned close to each other. As we age, they shrink and descend due to gravity, which contributes to flat cheeks, deep lines, jowls and a heavier lower face.

How do fat pads affect sagging?

When fat pads drop, the face loses its natural “lift”. This means the mid-face looks deflated and the lower face can look heavier, even if you haven’t gained weight. Restoring support in the right areas can make the face look fresher and more lifted without tightening the skin surgically.

What treatment can restore lost volume?

Dermal filler can replace lost volume and support ageing fat pads. When placed in the right areas, filler can recreate the structure that has been lost, helping to lift the face, soften lines and restore balance rather than just “plump” the skin.

Which areas are best treated to restore volume?

• Cheeks are one of the most important areas. Supporting the cheek area will
• Restore mid-face volume
• Improve facial contours
• Lift the lower face and soften jowls
• Reduce the look of nasolabial folds
• It gives a natural lifting effect without treating every line individually.

Will filler make my face look overfilled?

When done correctly, no. Overfilled faces are usually the result of poor planning or too much product in the wrong areas. We restore structure, not add unnecessary volume. The goal is to look refreshed, not changed.

Why does cheek filler help lift the lower face?

The face works as a connected structure. When cheek volume is restored, it gives upward support to the tissues below. This can improve sagging around the mouth and jawline without directly filling those areas, creating a more natural and balanced result. Adding filler in the jowls directly, will make them look heavier and drop more due to heaviness of the product.

How long does it last?

Results last 12-24 months, depending on your metabolism and lifestyle.
