Loss of Facial Volume
The causes of facial volume loss can be multifactorial and may include:
- Ageing: The natural ageing process leads to a loss of collagen, elastin, and fat in the face, resulting in volume loss and sagging skin.
- Fat and bone resorption: Over time, the fat pads in the face may shrink or shift, and bone loss can occur, leading to a loss of facial volume and definition.
- Sun exposure: Prolonged and unprotected sun exposure can accelerate collagen breakdown and lead to premature volume loss in the face.
- Lifestyle factors: Factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, and stress can contribute to accelerated ageing and volume loss in the face.
