Facial Sagging and Volume Loss

Facial sagging and volume loss are part and parcel of the ageing process.

Structural changes in the deeper levels of the skin also contribute to a tired and worn-out appearance. Saggy cheeks are considered the most ageing feature in a person’s face and for this reason we need to look at how the face moves and where the face has lost volume.

By replacing some of the missing facial volume, mainly around the mid face, cheeks and temple area you can get a great lifting effect including restoration of the jaw line. This will also reduce the dreaded tired look around eyes and restores some of the youthful facial proportions, which are a fuller upper face and cheek region and narrower around the chin and jaw. The difference between a young face and an old face is the loss of volume.

Hollow cheeks, deep laughter lines and circles under the eyes are common results of facial volume loss. In addition to subtle placements of Botox injections around the forehead eyes and chin area to relax competing muscles pulling on the face, safe and effective volumising treatments have been developed to correct these indications.

Non-surgical face lifting has been revolutionised in the past 5 years, with facial skin tightening devices like Ultracel and with injectable fillers that add volume back to the face.  Sculptra and Voluma are amongst the most widely researched products that have been developed and carefully tested to correct volume loss anywhere in the body. Sculptra is especially great for people with generalized facial hollowness or fat loss, because the treatment works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production. The results from Sculptra treatments can last up to three years.
