Understanding Bone Resorption and Fat Pads in Facial Ageing

As we age, the structural foundation of our face changes due to natural processes like bone resorption and shifting fat pads. These changes can contribute to volume loss, sagging, and an overall less defined facial appearance. By understanding these key ageing mechanisms, we can take a more strategic and effective approach to facial rejuvenation.



 


What is Bone Resorption?

Bone resorption is the gradual breakdown and reabsorption of bone tissue by the body. In the face, this process commonly affects areas like the temples, jawline, and chin, leading to a loss of support for the overlying skin and soft tissue.


This can result in:

  • A more hollowed or sunken appearance

  • A less defined jawline and chin

  • A shift in facial proportions


At Allure Aesthetics in Pontllanfraith, we specialise in advanced dermal filler treatments to counteract these effects, restoring definition and balance to the face.



The Role of Fat Pads in Facial Ageing

Fat pads provide crucial volume and support to the face, helping to maintain its youthful shape.


Over time, these fat pads naturally shrink and shift downward due to gravity and a decline in collagen and elastin. This can cause:

  • Hollows under the eyes

  • Flattening of the cheeks

  • Sagging along the jawline


At Allure Aesthetics, our Clinical Lead assesses volume loss and strategically places dermal fillers to replenish lost fat pads, restoring lift and contour to create subtle, natural results.



How Dermal Fillers Can Restore Volume and Balance

By strategically using medical-grade dermal fillers, we can restore lost volume and enhance facial contours in a way that looks natural and refreshed.


Fillers help to:

  • Support areas affected by bone resorption, such as the temples, jawline, and chin

  • Reposition and replenish lost fat pads for improved mid-face volume

  • Lift and sculpt the face to restore youthful definition


We use expert techniques and premium dermal fillers to create results that enhance your natural features without looking overdone.
