Understanding Volume Loss

Over time, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leading to a decrease in facial volume, elasticity, and firmness. This loss of volume can contribute to hollowed cheeks, sunken under-eyes, thinning lips, and sagging skin, making us look older or more tired than we feel. Volume loss can also affect the hands, causing visible veins and a more aged appearance.


At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer a range of advanced dermal fillers, including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, RADIESSE®, Revanesse®, and Sculptra®, to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These injectable treatments provide immediate results, stimulating natural collagen production and rejuvenating the skin for a youthful, plumper appearance. Whether you're seeking subtle enhancements or a more dramatic transformation, our expert team will customize a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Signs & Symptoms of Volume Loss

Facial volume loss can manifest in different ways, including:


  • Hollowed or sunken cheeks

  • Deep nasolabial folds (laugh lines) and marionette lines

  • A weakened jawline and loss of definition

  • Under-eye hollows or dark circles

  • Thinning lips

  • A generally tired or aged appearance

What Causes Volume Loss?

Several factors contribute to facial volume loss, including:


  • Aging – A natural decline in collagen, elastin, and facial fat over time.

  • Genetics – Some individuals experience early volume loss due to hereditary factors.

  • Sun Damage – UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to premature aging.

  • Weight Loss – Significant weight fluctuations can cause fat depletion in the face.

  • Hormonal Changes – Menopause and other hormonal shifts affect skin structure and volume.

Treatment Options for Volume Loss

At Summerlin Dermatology, we specialize in non-surgical treatments to replenish lost volume and restore youthful facial contours:


  • Dermal Fillers (JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, RADIESSE®, Sculptra®) – Injectable treatments that plump and reshape areas affected by volume loss.

  • Sculptra® Collagen Stimulation – A biostimulatory filler that gradually rebuilds collagen for long-term results.

  • ThreadLift Treatments – Lifts sagging skin while stimulating collagen production for enhanced volume and structure.

  • Facial Rejuvenation Plans – Personalized skincare and injectable treatments tailored to maintain a youthful, natural look.

Volume Restoration

As we age, natural fat, collagen, and elastin in our skin gradually decrease, leading to volume loss in the cheeks, temples, under-eye area, and lips. This loss of facial fullness can contribute to a sunken, aged appearance. At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer a range of advanced treatments designed to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and rejuvenate your overall look.
