Understanding volume loss after weight loss

Losing weight is great for health, but the face is often where it shows most, leaving it looking gaunt, hollow and older. Restoring lost volume brings the face back into balance, done within our dermal fillers and facial balancing.

What causes it

The face has fat pads that give it youthful fullness, and rapid or significant weight loss depletes them along with body fat. Newer weight-loss medications have made this more common, sometimes called a gaunt or hollow look, as the cheeks, temples and mid-face deflate.

Who tends to notice it

Anyone who has lost significant weight, especially quickly, may notice their face looking hollow or older. It is increasingly common with weight-loss medication. People often say they look tired or gaunt despite feeling healthier.

Filler replaces the lost volume in the cheeks, temples and mid-face, bringing back a healthier, more rested fullness.
A whole-face approach restores volume in proportion where several areas have deflated after weight loss.

What results are realistic

Restoring a healthier, fuller, less gaunt face is very achievable. The aim is a natural, rested look rather than an overfilled one, restoring in proportion to your frame. If your weight is still changing, we may suggest waiting until it settles, and we advise honestly at consultation.
