Common Concerns

Volume Loss & Hollowingconcerns.volumeLoss.hero.titleAccent

Restore the structure of youth.

Aging isn't just about gravity; it's about deflation. As we lose fat and bone, the smooth curves of youth turn into shadows and hollows. We restore that lost volume to bring back a rested, energetic look.

Where are the Shadows?

Volume loss changes the way light hits your face, creating shadows where there used to be highlights.

0
/ 5 signs identified

If you see these shadows, your face hasn't just sagged—it has deflated.

The Science

The Deflating Balloon

Think of a grape turning into a raisin. The skin stays the same, but the inside shrinks.

Fat Pad Atrophy

Deep facial fat pads provide volume and lift. As they shrink, the skin overlying them collapses.

Bone Resorption

We lose bone mass in the skull, eye sockets, and jaw. This loss of 'scaffolding' causes the face to fold inward.

Collagen Decline

Thinner skin reveals the underlying structures (veins, hollows) more clearly.

Weight Loss

Rapid weight loss or intense athletic training often accelerates facial hollowing ('Runner's Face').

🌏

The Asian Structural Challenge

Asian faces often have wider zygomatic arches (cheekbones). When temples and cheeks hollow out, these bones look even wider and more aggressive. Our goal is not just to fill, but to smooth the contour, creating a softer, more oval facial shape without adding unwanted width.

Target Areas

Zones of Depletion

Restoring volume in these key areas revitalizes the entire face.

Temples

Common

Restoring fullness here softens the transition from forehead to cheek.

Apple Cheeks

High

The anchor of a youthful face. Lifting the cheek lifts the whole face.

Under Eyes

Delicate

Correcting tear troughs instantly removes the 'tired' look.

No 'Pillow Face'

Dr. Jiang's technique focuses on deep structural support, not superficial over-filling. You will look defined, not puffy.

Cannula Technique

We use blunt-tipped micro-cannulas for most injections. This significantly reduces bruising and improves safety by avoiding blood vessels.

Asian Facial Balance

We know how to fill temples without widening the face, and how to project the mid-face to create a smaller, more dimensional look.

MD Expertise

Facial anatomy is complex. Having an experienced physician injector minimizes risks of vascular occlusion or asymmetry.

FAQ

Volume Q&A

No. When done correctly, fillers replace the volume you have naturally lost, returning the skin to its original tension. They do not stretch the skin further.
Your face will simply return to its natural state. It will not look 'worse' or 'saggier' than before; it will actually look better than if you had never treated it, thanks to some collagen stimulation.
Yes, Sculptra (PLLA) has been used worldwide since 1999. It is fully biodegradable and breaks down into water and CO2, leaving behind only your own new collagen.
Yes. Dark circles caused by hollowing (shadows) are treated effectively with fillers or Redensity II. Dark circles caused by pigment require lasers.
We use fillers containing Lidocaine (numbing agent) and apply topical numbing cream. Most patients report only mild pressure.
