Facial volume loss is a common sign of aging, leading to a hollow or gaunt appearance. Dr. Kian Eftekhari at Eyelid Center of Utah offers personalized solutions to restore facial volume, helping patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.
Understanding Facial Volume Loss
As we age, our face naturally loses fat, collagen, and elastin, resulting in hollows, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can accelerate this process. Restoring facial volume involves replenishing lost volume to the cheeks, temples, under the eyes, and other areas to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Treatment Options
Dr. Kian Eftekhari offers a range of treatments to restore facial volume, including:
- Dermal Fillers: Injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid-based products (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane) are commonly used to add volume to the face. These fillers can plump up hollow areas, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
- Fat Transfer: Also known as fat grafting or fat injections, this procedure involves harvesting fat from one part of the body (e.g., abdomen or thighs) and injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. Fat transfer provides natural-looking, long-lasting results.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy harnesses the healing properties of platelets found in the patient’s own blood to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. When combined with dermal fillers or fat transfer, PRP can enhance the effectiveness of facial volume restoration.
