Dermal Fillers & Facial Volume Loss
Aging, weight loss, and environmental factors all cause facial volume loss and hollowing — leading to sunken cheeks, thin lips, and hollow under-eyes that can make the face appear tired or aged, independent of skin quality itself.

Understanding the cause
Fat Pad Loss
Facial fat pads shrink and shift downward with age, changing the face's underlying support structure.
Bone Remodeling
Facial bone density also decreases gradually with age, subtly reducing the scaffolding beneath soft tissue.
Compounding Effect
Skin laxity, fat loss, and bone changes all happen together, which is why volume loss often reads as general aging rather than one isolated change.
Facts about Dermal Fillers & Facial Volume Loss
It's Not Just About Weight
Significant volume loss happens through aging and bone remodeling independent of body weight.
Filler Isn't Just for Lips
Cheeks, temples, and under-eyes are some of the areas where volume restoration makes the most visible difference.
Natural-Looking Results Are the Standard Now
Modern filler technique favors subtle, structural support over dramatic, obvious change.
Results Aren't Permanent
Hyaluronic acid filler gradually breaks down over time, which is part of why touch-ups are a normal part of maintaining results.
These treatments range from immediate volume restoration to a gradual, collagen-building approach.
Sculptra®
Stimulates collagen for long-lasting, natural skin rejuvenation.
JUVÉDERM® Dermal Filler
Injectable fillers with hyaluronic acid to smooth lines and restore volume.
TEOSYAL️® Dermal Filler
A structural filler that restores volume in the cheeks and under-eyes where hollowing is most visible.
Top questions about dermal fillers & facial volume loss
How long does dermal filler last?
Confirm typical duration by product/area with clinicians — commonly ranges from several months to over a year.
What's the difference between filler and Sculptra?
Traditional filler (TEOSYAL, JUVÉDERM) adds volume immediately; Sculptra stimulates your own collagen gradually over a series of sessions.
Will filler make me look overdone?
Modern technique favors natural, structural support — an experienced injector can adjust volume subtly rather than dramatically.
Can filler be dissolved if I don't like the result?
Hyaluronic acid fillers (TEOSYAL, JUVÉDERM) can typically be dissolved if needed — confirm specifics with your injector.

Facial volume loss treatment in Vancouver has moved well past the outdated idea of "overfilled" results — modern dermal filler technique focuses on restoring natural structure, not adding obvious volume. At Kerrisdale Skin Medical, we use hyaluronic acid-based fillers to restore volume in the cheeks, under-eyes, and lips, and Sculptra for a more gradual, collagen-building approach to broader volume loss. The goal is a rested, structurally supported look — not a change anyone can immediately point to.
