Mid-face flattening, temple hollowing, and lip thinning—structural filler and biostimulation options.
Facial fat pads shift downward with age and bone remodeling subtly changes light reflection—creating “tired” shadows. Weight loss can accelerate hollowing. The goal of treatment is harmonious proportion, not overfilling.
Fillers use hyaluronic acid gels or, in select cases, biostimulators that encourage collagen over time—each has different timelines and risks discussed at consult.
Intrinsic aging, genetics, major weight fluctuation, and athletic leanness can all reduce facial fat. Chronic sun damage thins the dermis, amplifying the look of volume loss.
Hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate structural support in cheeks, temples, jawline, and lips. PRP and skin tightening devices may complement skin quality but do not replace deep volume deficits. Fat grafting is a surgical alternative for suitable candidates.
Facial arteries and nerves require advanced technique—treatment should be performed by qualified medical professionals.
HA fillers show immediate improvement with mild swelling for several days. Biostimulators evolve over weeks to months. Results are not permanent—maintenance is typical.
We stage treatments, respect facial proportions, and use photography in natural light. Less is often more in the mid-face.
Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if complications occur—this is part of informed consent.
Poor technique and very superficial placement increase risk. Proper depth, product choice, and follow-up minimize issues.
