Volume Loss & Facial Hollowing: Signs of Facial Ageing.

As we age, it's natural to notice subtle shifts in facial contours—especially a loss of volume in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.

These changes can affect the overall balance and appearance of the face, sometimes contributing to a tired or sunken look. At our clinic, we offer cosmetic solutions to support facial volume and help you feel confident in your skin.

What Is Volume Loss in the Face?

Volume loss occurs when there is a natural reduction in fat, collagen, and moisture beneath the skin.

This can lead to changes in facial shape and structure, often seen as:

  • Flattened cheeks

  • Hollowing under the eyes (tear troughs)

  • Sunken temples

  • A thinner or more angular appearance overall

  • 1. Hollow Cheeks

    A reduction in mid-face fullness may result in flatter or sunken cheeks, altering the youthful curve of the face.

  • 2. Under-Eye Hollowing (Tear Troughs)

    This appears as a shadowed or hollow area beneath the eyes and may contribute to a tired or aged look.

  • 3. Temple Hollowing

    Loss of volume in the temples can create a concave appearance and affect overall facial balance.

  • 4. Nasolabial Fold Deepening

    Volume loss in surrounding areas may make facial folds around the nose and mouth appear more pronounced.

Factors That Contribute to Volume Loss

Natural ageing and reduced collagen production

  1. Loss of subcutaneous fat (the layer beneath the skin)

  2. Genetics and bone structure

  3. Lifestyle habits (e.g. weight fluctuations, smoking, sun exposure)

  4. Environmental stressors
