Volume Loss
In Lodi, CA
What Is Volume Loss?
Volume loss refers to the reduction of fullness in the face, often leading to a hollow or sunken appearance. This typically occurs in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. It’s a common sign of aging as the body loses fat, muscle, and bone density over time. Volume loss can affect facial contours, making one look older and tired. It can also be exacerbated by weight loss or certain medical conditions.
What Are The Causes Of Volume Loss?
Volume loss is primarily caused by the natural aging process and other factors that reduce the supportive structures under the skin. Fat distribution, bone density, and muscle tone changes contribute to this condition.
Aging
As we age, there is a natural decrease in subcutaneous fat, which provides volume and support to the skin.
Weight Loss
Significant weight loss can reduce fat in the face, leading to a hollow appearance.
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormone levels can affect the distribution and amount of facial fat.
Genetics
Some people are genetically predisposed to experience volume loss more significantly as they age.
Sun Exposure
Chronic exposure to UV rays can damage the skin and underlying tissues, contributing to volume loss.
