One of the main signs of facial aging is a shift in volume. We are born with fat pads that sit up high on our cheeks; over time these thin and drop. This causes less volume to be present in the cheek area and more volume in around the jowls and corners of the mouth. With strategically placed filler, we are able to reverse some of this process. This involves enhancing and restoring the cheekbones, softening the nasolabial folds and marionette lines (around the nose and mouth) and restoring volume to the area around the mouth and lips.
