Facial Volume Changes are normal,
Discover your options

Facial volume loss is a common change that can happen for a variety of reasons, including natural ageing, weight changes, or lifestyle factors. Over time, the natural fat pads, collagen, and supportive tissues beneath the skin can become thinner or shift position. This can lead to flatter cheeks, deeper shadows, or a more tired or drawn appearance, even if you feel well on the inside. These changes can feel unsettling, especially when they happen gradually and leave you feeling less like yourself. 

If you’re concerned about facial volume loss, a personalised consultation can help you understand what may be contributing and what treatment options are appropriate for you. At Queensland Skin and Laser, our medically-led team assesses your facial structure, overall skin health, and individual goals before recommending any treatment. We offer a range of non-surgical approaches, such as laser resurfacing, radio frequency microneedling, HIFU, or skin needling, that may help restore balance and support your natural features. Your clinician will guide you through options, expected outcomes, and risks so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Facial Volume Loss

Facial volume loss is a natural change that can occur over time as the skin’s structure and underlying tissues gradually thin. This may lead to flatter cheeks, hollows, or a more tired appearance. If you’ve noticed these changes, a personalised assessment can help you understand what may be contributing and what options may be suitable for restoring balance.

Hollowing Eyes

Hollowing around the eyes can occur when the supportive fat pads and tissues in the tear trough area naturally reduce over time. This may create a shadowed or sunken appearance that can make the eyes look tired, even when you’re well and rested. A tailored assessment can help identify the factors contributing to this change and explore suitable options that may support a more refreshed look.

Sagging Skin

Sagging skin often develops as collagen, elastin, and supportive tissues weaken with age of lifestyle factors. This can appear around the cheeks, jawline, or under the eyes, creating a softer or less defined look. A professional consultation can help identify the causes and explore suitable, evidence-based approaches to support skin structure.

Thin Lips

Some people naturally have smaller or more delicate lips, while others notice thinning over time due to ageing or environmental factors. Thin lips may feel less defined or lack the fullness you’d prefer. During a consultation, your clinician can assess your lip shape and discuss options that may help enhance symmetry and support your natural features. 

Uneven Lips

Uneven lips may be present from birth or develop gradually as volume and skin structures change over time. This can include differences in shape, height, or definition between the upper and lower lip. An individual assessment can help determine the contributing factors and whether treatment options may assist in improving balance

How Can Wrinkles Affect Your Life

Generalised Aging

Generalised ageing refers to broad changes over that accumulate across the face over time, such as reduced elasticity, fine lines, volume shifts, and textural changes. These natural processess can influence how refreshed or firm the skin appears. A personalised consultation can help you understand these changes and discuss suitable options based on your goals and skin needs.

Volume Restoration

Facial volume restoration focuses on areas where fullness has reduced due to ageing, weight changes, or natural anatomy. Common areas include the cheeks, temples, chin, and mid-face. A clinician can evaluate your unique facial structur and provide guidance on treatment options that may support harmony and overall facial balance.
