Volume Loss & Hollowing
A reduction in facial fullness leading to a sunken or tired appearance, often due to natural fat and collagen depletion
Nasolabial Fold & Facial Skin Sagging
Deepening folds and skin laxity around the mid-face that can create a heavier or aged appearance
Under-Eye Area Hollowing
Loss of volume beneath the eyes causing shadows, hollows, or a fatigued look
Lip Volume & Shape Loss
Noticeable reduction in fullness and lip contour definition, often caused by natural ageing or collagen decline
Poor Appearance of Chin & Jawline Contour

Nasolabial Fold & Facial Skin Sagging

Changes in facial volume, structure, and symmetry are common considerations in skin health and appearance. Areas typically involved include the cheeks, chin, lips, jawline, temples, and under the eyes. These variations can affect overall facial balance and contour.
These changes may occur as a result of the natural ageing process, genetics, environmental exposure, or lifestyle factors. Over time, the skin’s collagen and elastin levels decrease, fat pads may shift, and bone density can gradually reduce. These factors may contribute to hollowing, sagging, or imbalance in facial contours. Weight fluctuations, sun exposure, and other external influences may also accelerate these changes.
Common areas of concern include the cheeks, chin, jawline, temples, under-eye area, nasolabial folds (these are the lines that appear on an angle under your nose towards the edge of your mouth), and marionette lines (from the mouth to the chin – think of a ventriloquist doll).
The lips can also be affected by age-related changes, including a reduction in volume, contour, or definition, which may influence the appearance of the smile or overall lip shape. Facial balancing often considers the lips alongside other key features, with Lip Balancing helping to create overall symmetry and proportion for a naturally proportioned and refined appearance.

Temple
Over time, the natural volume in the temple area may reduce, creating the appearance of hollowing
Tear Troughs
Under-Eye Area may experience changes in pigmentation and volume, contributing to a darker and sunken appearance
Cheeks
The loss of malar fat pads or cheek fat can have many negative effects on the appearance and function of the face
Nasolabial Folds
Over time, the wrinkles at the sides of the nose that run down to the corners of the mouth increase in depth, and this may cause an overall drooping appearance
Corner of the Mouth
The depressor anguli oris is the facial muscle associated with frowning; with regular pressure from the mid-face and the constant pulling of this inverse fan-shaped muscle, the area may start to get a sad and aged appearance
Lip Lines
Lips are riddled with small vertical lines - over time, they become more pronounced and this can influence the appearance of the whole face to look older
Lip Borders + Volume
The lips are among the most expressive parts of the face - a loss in volume, contour, or definition may influence the appearance of the smile or overall lip shape
Jowls
A drop in collagen and elastin can cause the face to sag, leading to unsightly jowls
Jaw Re-Shaping
Loss of definition in the jawline can cause an imbalance between other features of the face, such as the cheekbones and chin lines
Chin
The chin, oftentimes hidden in the lower region of the face and only accentuated when laughing or lifting the head, can be a defining feature for many people
