How facial volume loss affects the mid-face

Facial volume is an incredibly important aspect of your overall appearance. If your face has a good amount of facial volume, it will have a full and youthful appearance with beautiful natural contours. The appearance of the mid-face is particularly dependent on facial volume. The contours and fullness of your cheeks can be diminished by facial volume loss, which will occur naturally due to the effects of aging.

This results in noticeable sagging skin folds on the cheeks, which creates an aged and withered appearance. At Ocean Plastic Surgery Center, we can restore your youthful appearance using Juvederm Voluma XC, an injectable filler specifically designed for restoring lost facial volume in the mid-face. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. William Aiello will precisely perform your Voluma injections so that he provides you with the personalized results you are after.
