The face loses volume in a predictable pattern. Fat pads sit in compartments (deep medial cheek, superficial cheek, temple, jaw), and those compartments shrink and descend on their own schedule. Bone changes underneath: orbital rim widens, cheekbone flattens.
The result reads as tiredness rather than age, which is why people are often told they look tired when they feel fine. Treatments that only address the surface do not fully answer it. The support underneath is what changed.

Three ways to rebuild
Dermal filler places volume directly, with same-day results. Sculptra rebuilds your own collagen gradually over a series. Facial balancing plans across the whole face so proportion holds as individual areas are restored.
