As part of the natural ageing process, the face undergoes gradual changes in volume and structure. These changes are influenced by a combination of factors, including reduced skin elasticity, shifting fat pads, and underlying bone resorption. Together, they can contribute to a loss of youthful fullness and subtle changes in facial shape.
Volume loss may be noticed in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and lips, where the skin can begin to appear thinner or less supported. This process is entirely natural and affects everyone to varying degrees, depending on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure. While some people embrace these changes as part of ageing, others may become more aware of the differences in their facial appearance over time.
A healthy lifestyle—maintaining hydration, eating a balanced diet, and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure—can support overall skin health. However, no approach can completely prevent the structural changes that occur with age.
