When we’re young, we have a defined jawline and smooth contours, and our cheeks and upper face are plump and firm. As we age, our skin loses support with a loss of structural proteins and facial fat, as well as moisture. The facial fat that keeps our skin looking smooth starts to thin out and descend, which can cause nasolabial folds in the mid face and jowls in the lower face.
As a result of these anatomical changes, the shape and contours of our face change, taking on a tired, dragged-down appearance.
WHERE DID THE VOLUME GO?
The loss of volume within the face is the main reason our face shape changes as we age. We lose bone density as well as tissue volume. As this volume is lost, the skin begins drooping.
LIFT AND RE-SHAPE WITHOUT SURGERY
Rather than going in for invasive surgery, injecting dermal fillers in strategic places provides similar effects without the downtime or risks of a surgical procedure.

Adding volume to the cheek, jaw and chin will lift the lower part of the face, giving better definition.
The range of dermal fillers available allows a skilled practitioner to use the right product in the appropriate area, and to subtly sculpt and restore a more youthful face shape. Different fillers can be used, depending on the depth of placement and the smoothing properties required.
Whether you have a specific concern, or a more holistic goal, your doctor will create a customised treatment plan that will give you the face shape you are looking for, while making sure you still look like you.
