Facial Volume Loss

Are you a sinker?

Volume loss is an early sign of aging. In our 30’s, our faces begin to lose that youthful fullness. The cheeks become hollow, the lips thin, and lines deepen between the nose and mouth. The eyes may look tired or sunken. These changes are caused by less support below the skin surface. A decrease in collagen, elastin, fat and bone all contribute to facial volume loss. Although this a natural part of the aging process, volume loss can be accelerated by sudden weight loss, extreme dieting or exercising, sun exposure, smoking and stress.

What we can do

Today there are several safe, effective, non-surgical options to restore and maintain youthful facial contours. Wrinkles fillers made from hylauronic acid, such as Juvederm, Voluma, Teosyal and Perlane can give an immediate, outstanding improvement. In our Mississauga clinic, Dr. O’Neill will customize a treatment plan to restore volume to the cheeks, cheekbones, chin and jawline as needed. Depending on the areas corrected, you will notice a softer, more youthful appearance with fuller cheeks, higher cheekbones, smoother jowls and jawline and a firmer chin. Dr. O’Neill is known for her subtle, natural looking results. No overdone or stuffed faces here! Reflating volume loss results may last up to 18 months.

We often combine correction of volume loss with skin tightening procedures and therapeutic skin care to help maintain your results.
