Understanding Facial Ageing & Volume Loss

As we age, the face undergoes natural structural changes. Fat pads gradually reduce and shift, collagen production slows, and underlying bone support diminishes. Together, these changes may affect facial contour, firmness, and overall balance.

Volume loss is distinct from changes in skin texture or skin tone, each requires a different clinical approach. While energy-based treatments may support collagen stimulation, they cannot replace deeper structural volume.

During consultation, your clinician will assess:

• Facial proportions and symmetry
• Areas of volume loss or shadowing
• Muscle activity contributing to expression lines
• Skin quality and support structures

A personalised treatment plan is then developed to support refreshed, natural-looking outcomes.

Upper Face Consultations

(Forehead, Brows, Eyes, Temples, Nose)

The upper face is commonly affected by repetitive facial movement and early volume changes.

Concerns commonly assessed include:

• Forehead lines and horizontal creases
• Frown lines between the brows
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Drooping or asymmetry of the outer brow
• Temple hollowing
• Bunny lines along the sides of the nose

Upper face consultations focus on balancing expression, supporting symmetry, and maintaining natural movement while addressing areas of concern.

Mid Face Consultations

(Cheeks, Under-Eyes, Nasolabial Region)

The mid face plays a key role in facial support and youthful contour. Volume changes here may contribute to under-eye hollowing and deeper facial folds.

Concerns commonly discussed include:

• Cheek volume loss or flattening
• Under-eye hollowing (tear trough appearance)
• Dark circles or tired appearance
• Nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth)

Mid face assessments consider bone structure, soft tissue support, and skin quality to determine suitable, conservative options.

Lower Face Consultations

(Jawline, Chin, Mouth, Lower Cheeks, Neck)

Ageing in the lower face may affect definition, balance, and facial harmony.

Concerns commonly assessed include:

• Jawline definition and facial balance
• Chin shape, projection, or dimpling
• Downturned corners of the mouth
• Marionette lines
• Lower face heaviness or widening
• Neck skin changes or banding

Lower face consultations may involve facial imaging to assist with assessment and education, helping patients understand proportion and structure.

• Detailed facial assessment
• Discussion of goals and expectations
