Face / Volume Loss
​
As we age, or as experience weight loss, it is natural to lose collagen, volume and bone support.​
The image below shows the natural loss of fat in our face as we age:

Without the deep support, and with the decreased collagen, the remaining fat pads shift and the skin becomes lax and wrinkled.
There are many products available to address loss of volume. There are hyaluronic gel and calcium hydroxyapatite fillers- each of these has it’s own use depending on the area being treated.
In general fillers are available in 1cc vials and last about one year.
Our preferred method of restoring volume is the natural regenerative way using your own fat. With the new techniques, fat retention is anywhere from 70% to 90%. The adipose cells are filtered so they can be injected with the same cannulas we use for fillers. There is usually minimal to no downtime.
