Volume Loss & Sagging

About Volume Loss & Sagging

Many patients tell us they notice their face looks different after turning 40 or 50—cheeks flatten, temples hollow out, the jawline softens, and skin begins to sag. This isn't vanity; it's anatomy. As we age, three overlapping changes take place: collagen production declines, fat pads descend from their original position, and bone resorbs (especially in the jaw and temples). The result is lost structure and sagging. We approach volume restoration strategically, placing fillers along the structural bones (cheekbones, temples, jawline) to restore the face's natural architecture. This lifts and rejuvenates without creating the overfilled look. Filler results are visible immediately but continue to improve over two weeks as swelling settles. Most fillers last 9–18 months depending on placement and metabolism. For more significant sagging, combining fillers with microneedling produces better results than either alone.
