Volume Replacement
Volume replacement treatments are aesthetic procedures designed to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and folds, provide tissue support, and enhance facial contouring. As part of the natural ageing process, the face loses volume and support, leading to wrinkles, drooping, and changes in facial proportions. Common areas treated with volume replacement include cheeks, jawline, and lips.

Understanding Facial Ageing
Bone Changes: As we age, the bone structure of the face undergoes changes. The bones may lose density and volume, leading to a reduction in facial support. This can result in a more hollow appearance and contribute to the overall sagging of facial tissues.
Facial Fat Volume Changes: The fat pads in the face also shift and decrease over time. This loss of facial fat volume can cause the cheeks to become flatter, the under-eye area to appear hollow, and the jawline to lose definition. These changes can make the face look older and more tired.
Skin and Muscle Changes: With age, the skin loses elasticity and firmness due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. Muscle movements and repeated facial expressions can lead to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, the skin may become thinner and less able to retain moisture, further contributing to an aged appearance.
Drooping and Sagging: Gravity, combined with the loss of structural support from bones and fat, causes the skin and underlying tissues to droop. This can lead to sagging cheeks, jowls, and a less defined jawline.
The Role of Volume Correction: Volume correction treatments are essential in combating these signs of ageing. By restoring lost volume, these treatments can lift and support the facial tissues, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
