Facial Volume Loss, Loss of Cheek Volume Treatments in London & Kingston, Surrey

As we age, the natural fat pads in our face begin to shrink, and collagen production declines, leading to facial volume loss. This process can result in sunken cheeks, hollow under-eyes, and sagging skin, making the face appear older and less defined. In some cases, weight loss, genetics, and lifestyle factors can accelerate this process, causing a tired or gaunt appearance.

At It’s Me & You Clinic in Kingston, Surrey, we specialise in advanced non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments, including dermal fillers and Sculptra collagen injections, to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. These safe, effective treatments help replenish cheek fullness, lift sagging areas, and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance—without the need for surgery.

Located in Kingston upon Thames, we proudly serve clients from Surbiton, New Malden, Richmond, Twickenham, Esher, Cobham, and beyond.Book your consultation today to restore a youthful, natural look!

What is Facial Volume Loss?

Facial volume loss refers to the gradual reduction of fat, collagen, and bone density in the face, leading to hollowed cheeks, sagging skin, and a loss of youthful contours. This natural process occurs as we age, causing the skin to lose its firmness and structure. Over time, the once-plump and lifted appearance of the face diminishes, making features appear sunken and less defined.

The primary cause of facial volume loss is a decline in collagen production and fat redistribution. Collagen is a crucial protein responsible for keeping the skin firm and elastic, while fat pads in the face provide natural fullness and support. As these elements deplete, the skin begins to sag, and certain areas—especially the cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline—appear hollow and aged.

Signs of Facial Volume Loss

Common indicators of facial volume depletion include:

• Sunken Cheeks – Loss of cheek fullness creates a hollow or deflated look.

• Hollow Under-Eyes – Thinning skin and volume loss under the eyes lead to a tired, aged appearance.

• Sagging Skin – The reduction in fat and collagen causes the skin to droop, particularly around the lower face.

• Loss of Youthful Contours – The face loses its natural V-shape, resulting in a less defined jawline and more prominent wrinkles.

Causes of Facial Volume Loss

Facial volume loss is a natural part of the ageing process, but several factors accelerate this depletion, leading to hollow cheeks, sagging skin, and a tired appearance. Understanding these causes can help individuals take preventive measures and seek effective treatments to restore lost volume.

Natural Ageing Process

As we age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, the essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, fat pads in the face gradually shrink and shift downward, reducing natural plumpness in the cheeks and mid-face. This process contributes to looser skin, sagging, and a more hollowed-out appearance, particularly in the cheek area.

Lifestyle Factors

Certain lifestyle habits can accelerate collagen breakdown and lead to premature facial volume loss, including:

• Smoking – Damages collagen and reduces blood circulation, causing the skin to age faster.

• Poor Diet – A lack of nutrients like vitamins C and E, which support collagen production, can contribute to early signs of volume loss.

• Dehydration – Inadequate hydration weakens skin elasticity and increases sagging.

• Excessive Sun Exposure – UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to faster ageing and facial hollowness.

Genetics & Bone Structure Changes

Some individuals experience facial volume loss at an earlier age due to their genetic predisposition. Genetics determine how fat is distributed and how quickly collagen depletes. Additionally, age-related changes in bone structure—such as bone resorption in the cheekbones and jawline—contribute to a more sunken appearance over time.

Significant Weight Loss

Losing a substantial amount of weight, particularly in a short period, can cause fat loss in the face, leading to hollow cheeks and a gaunt appearance. While weight loss is often beneficial for overall health, it can inadvertently accelerate facial ageing, as the skin loses its underlying support structure.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause, contribute to a decline in collagen production and skin elasticity. Lower estrogen levels result in thinner, more fragile skin, increasing the likelihood of wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What causes facial volume loss and sunken cheeks?

Facial volume loss occurs due to ageing, decreased collagen production, fat pad depletion, and bone resorption, leading to sunken cheeks and sagging skin. Factors like genetics, weight loss, smoking, and sun exposure can accelerate this process.

Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, add instant volume and hydration to hollow areas like the cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline. They provide a natural plumping effect, lifting sagging skin and restoring facial contours.

What’s the difference between Sculptra and traditional fillers?

Traditional dermal fillers provide immediate volume using hyaluronic acid, whereas Sculptra gradually stimulates collagen production for longer-lasting, natural rejuvenation. Sculptra is ideal for deep volume loss, while HA fillers offer instant plumping.

How long do dermal fillers last for cheek volume restoration?

The results of hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and individual metabolism. Sculptra injections last up to 2 years, as they stimulate collagen regrowth over time.

the treatment painful, and is there downtime?

Dermal fillers and Sculptra injections involve minimal discomfort, as they contain numbing agents and are performed with fine needles. There is little to no downtime, with most clients resuming daily activities immediately.
