Ageing is a natural process, and changes in facial volume are one of its common features. In youth, the face typically appears fuller and rounder due to higher levels of supportive fat, more robust collagen and elastin, and stronger underlying bone structure.
Over time, gradual changes occur in all of these layers: fat pads may redistribute or thin, collagen and elastin production slows, and bone resorption in the mid-face and jaw can subtly alter shape. Together, these processes influence facial contours and the way light and shadow appear across the face.
Changes in facial volume may be observed in different areas, including the cheeks, brow, and lips. As underlying fat pads gradually shift, folds around the mouth and jawline may appear more noticeable. In some people, changes in the brow region can also alter the way the upper eye area looks.
The way facial volume changes over time is highly individual and influenced by many factors, including genetics and lifestyle. Some people notice differences in balance or proportion, while for others, changes are subtle. These variations form part of the diversity of appearance seen across all ages.

For people wishing to explore non-surgical options related to facial or lip volume, a consultation with a qualified health practitioner is essential. This allows for an individual review, discussion of possible approaches, and information about potential benefits, risks, and alternatives. All decisions are informed, voluntary, and based on personal circumstances.
