What is facial volume loss?

Facial volume loss is usually noticeable in the form of thin lips and hollow/sunken cheeks or temples. It can often give off a grim appearance make people look much older than they actually are. Hollow cheeks appear to recede inward into the facial bones, instead of projecting outward. Around the 30s, you might notice that your lips are becoming thinner and deflated. You might also experience loose skin around the jawline, which gives off the appearance of a weak chin.

What are the causes?

As with most aesthetic concerns, the aging process often results in the loss of facial volume. Not only do our bodies produce less collagen (which gives skin its elasticity and plumpness), but we also lose subcutaneous fat as we grow older. A sudden loss of weight, smoking, and other poor lifestyle choices can also accentuate volume loss. Thin lips occur for the same reason that your skin begins to sag over time: lost collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA). Collagen and HA give our lips plumpness, moisture, and an overall look of youthfulness. Lip shape and size is also determined by genetics. If your lips are naturally small, there’s a good chance that your lips will begin to thin out in your late 20s.
