As we age, the loss of volume in our face occurs as the supportive fat pads diminish, and the underlying bone recedes. This phenomenon can also be observed after significant weight loss. The once plump and well-defined apples of the cheeks and cheekbones are replaced with flattened cheeks, causing the skin to descend, resulting in the formation of lines from the nose to the mouth, and even the development of jowls and a sagging jawline.
Fortunately, there are non-invasive, painless treatments with no downtime available to reverse these effects of aging. Specifically, the restoration of lost volume through cheek augmentation and the strategic use of dermal fillers have been clinically proven to provide facial support, lifting the cheeks and smoothing away lines from the nose to the mouth.
