Sunken Cheeks & Hollows
Loss of Facial Volume (Sunken Cheeks & Hollows)
Loss of facial volume is a common aesthetic concern that occurs when the face begins to appear sunken, hollow, or less contoured over time. It most often affects the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, and jawline, leading to a tired or aged appearance even in otherwise healthy individuals. Loss of facial volume refers to the gradual reduction of fat, collagen, and structural support beneath the skin. As these supportive layers diminish, the face can lose its youthful fullness, resulting in sunken cheeks, facial hollows, and reduced definition.

Common Causes of Facial Volume Loss
Several internal and external factors contribute to volume depletion, including:
-
Aging: Natural breakdown of collagen, elastin, and facial fat pads
-
Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can reduce facial fat
-
Genetics: Some individuals naturally have less facial volume
-
Hormonal Changes: Reduced estrogen levels impact skin thickness and volume
-
Lifestyle Factors: Stress, smoking, and poor nutrition accelerate volume loss
-
Sun Damage: UV exposure weakens skin structure over time
