Facial volume loss is one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of aging. It is a natural part of the aging process, primarily driven by subcutaneous fat depletion and skin elasticity changes. As we age, collagen production slows down, and fat pads in the face shrink and shift, leading to a thinner, less plump appearance. This loss of volume can result in hollow cheeks and temples, deepening wrinkles, sunken eyes, and sagging skin, all of which contribute to an older, tired look. Addressing this volume loss in the face can restore youthful contours and revitalize the face.
Facial volume loss is a complex process influenced by aging, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposure. These causes affect the skin’s structure, fat distribution, and elasticity, leading to noticeable changes in facial contours over time.
Common symptoms include hollow cheeks and temples, thinning lips, and a more angular facial contour. The skin may appear loose or sag, especially around the jawline and under the eyes. Fine lines and wrinkles also become more pronounced with a loss of facial volume.
Whether you are looking for non-invasive options or more comprehensive surgical interventions, Dr. Fedok has effective treatments available to restore lost facial volume and enhance youthful contours.
Choosing the best treatment for facial volume loss depends on the extent of the volume loss, desired outcomes, and individual preferences. During a consultation, Dr. Fedok will assess your needs and recommend the most suitable option to achieve natural, youthful results that enhance your facial appearance.

During your consultation, Dr. Fedok will assess your facial structure and discuss your goals to determine the best treatment plan. Non-surgical treatments, like dermal fillers, offer minimal downtime, with immediate results that last several months to years. Surgical options like a facelift or facial fat transfer offer more dramatic, long-term results. While a facelift typically requires a recovery period of several weeks, facial fat transfer involves a shorter downtime, with most patients recovering within a few days.
