Volume loss

August 15, 2026

Aging & Wrinkles

볼륨 소실

A change in which subcutaneous fat and bone volume decrease with age so that the face looks hollowed.

What the term refers to

In many cases it appears first at the temples, front cheeks and under the eyes. When volume decreases, shadows form and the face can look more tired and older than it is.

Good to know

Sagging and volume loss have different causes, so a lifting approach and a filling approach need to be considered separately. It is also common for both changes to be present together.
