If your cheeks, temples, or under-eye area look flatter or more hollow than they used to, you’re likely dealing with facial volume loss, one of the most common signs of aging we treat at Infinity Wellness in Brunswick, Ohio. This change often happens gradually, which is why many patients notice it in photos before they notice it in the mirror. Because volume changes happen differently across the face, treatment starts with mapping exactly where support has been lost.
Your face isn’t just skin over bone. Distinct pads of fat sit at different depths in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area, giving the face its youthful shape. As you age, these pads shrink and shift, facial bone density can decrease slightly, and collagen production slows, all contributing to a flatter, more hollow appearance.
According to a study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, UV exposure is responsible for approximately 80 percent of visible facial aging, which accelerates the structural changes behind volume loss.
The cheeks are often the first area to flatten, since the fat pads here are relatively superficial and respond early to collagen decline.
Temple volume loss can make the whole upper face look narrower and more angular, sometimes making other features appear more prominent than intended.
Loss of volume beneath the eyes can create shadows and a tired appearance, even with adequate rest and skin care.
Patients who have lost significant weight, including through medical weight loss programs, often see noticeable flattening in the cheeks and temples as facial fat decreases along with body fat.
Many patients experience gradual flattening across several areas at once, which is why a full-face evaluation often produces more balanced, natural-looking results than treating a single area alone.
Years of cumulative sun exposure can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and supportive tissue in the face, so patients with significant sun history sometimes notice volume changes earlier than their age alone would suggest.
Your provider will map your face to identify exactly where facial volume loss has occurred and build a treatment plan that restores balance rather than overfilling any single area.
Dermal fillers are our primary treatment, restoring lost fullness in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area with FDA-approved hyaluronic acid products tailored to your facial goals.
For patients who also have skin laxity alongside volume changes, Luxora skin tightening may be added to firm the treated area for a more complete result.
