Facial volume loss is influenced by changes in fat distribution, collagen production and bone structure. Everyone goes through this natural process, but your genetics and lifestyle choices impact how quickly it happens. At OLA Aesthetics, we take a tailored approach to supporting facial structure and skin health, offering treatment options designed to complement your features and promote long-term skin resilience.

A Note From Dr Aleks
Volume loss affects everyone differently. You might notice your cheeks looking flatter, while others experience hollowing in their temples, deepening tear troughs under the eyes or changes along the jawline. These changes result from complex interactions between skin, fat, muscle and bone.
When a patient wishes to address volume loss, I look at the face as a whole rather than focusing on isolated areas. Approaching volume restoration this way is essential for maintaining balance and proportion. My goal is to enhance facial harmony without creating an unnatural or overly puffy look.

- More prominent marionette lines
Contributing Factors
- Natural ageing
- Decreased collagen and elastin production
- Loss of deep fat pads
- Changes in bony support
- Sun exposure and environmental factors
- Lifestyle habits such as smoking
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Receding chin
Understanding Volume Loss
Facial volume loss occurs across multiple layers of the face:
Surface Layer (Epidermis)
- Decreased hydration and moisture retention
- Reduced skin barrier function
- Thinner and more fragile skin
Middle Layer (Dermis and Fat)
- Breakdown of collagen and elastin networks
- Loss of deep fat compartments
- Redistribution of fat pads
Deep Layer (Bone and Structural Support)
- Gradual bone resorption, particularly around the eye sockets, jawline and midface
- Changes in ligament support that contribute to shifting fat pads and skin laxity
