The Science Behind Midface Volume Loss
Midface volume loss is a common concern that can alter the youthful proportions of one’s face. This condition is characterized by a reduction in facial volume and elasticity, leading to a flat or gaunt appearance. The underlying causes of midface volume loss include the natural aging process, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Dr. Weishar’s approach to face volume loss treatment is rooted in a deep understanding of facial anatomy and the latest advancements in dermatological science.

Causes and Risk Factors of Midface Volume Loss
The primary contributors to midface volume loss are aging, fat pads, and the gradual depletion of collagen and elastin in the skin. External factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and environmental pollutants can accelerate this process. In Philadelphia and New York’s bustling environments, where these factors are prevalent, proactive treatment is essential.
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Patients with midface volume loss often notice a less defined cheek area, a flat midface, and sometimes a gaunt face appearance. These changes can affect facial harmony and may lead to a tired or aged look. During your consultation at Springhouse Dermatology, Dr. Weishar will conduct a thorough assessment to diagnose and tailor a treatment plan for your specific needs.
