Volume Loss
What Is Volume Loss?
What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?
Aging: Aging individuals typically decline in volume in select body regions due to diminished production of collagen and elastin, crucial proteins responsible for skin structure and elasticity.
Weight Loss: Rapid weight reduction can lead to loose or sagging skin and a decrease in fat volume, particularly in regions where fat accumulation is common, such as the face, breasts, buttocks, and thighs.
Medical Conditions: Autoimmune disorders such as lupus or scleroderma may affect connective tissue, resulting in skin thinning and diminished volume.
Trauma or Injury: Traumatic incidents such as burns or lacerations can inflict damage to underlying tissues, precipitating volume loss in the affected area.
Bone Resorption: Bone resorption, wherein bone tissue is broken down and reabsorbed by the body, can bring about shifts in facial structure and volume loss in regions supported by bone, such as the cheeks and jawline.
