Facial Volume, Definition & Structure
As we age we lose facial volume and definition. Our dermatologist-led team assesses your face and discusses suitable non-surgical volume options at a consultation in Neutral Bay.

Recovery Time
As we age, our skin produces less collagen and we gradually lose volume, definition and elasticity. This can soften the contours of the cheeks, jawline and midface, and deepen the folds around the mouth.
Non-surgical treatments can help restore volume and support facial structure. During a consultation at our Neutral Bay clinic, our dermatologist, cosmetic physician or cosmetic nurse completes a full-face assessment and discusses the approaches that may suit your features, skin and goals. Often a combination is the most balanced way to refresh the face.
The options that may suit your features, what they involve and whether they are right for you are discussed at your consultation, following a full-face assessment.
Your first visit is a consultation and full-face assessment. We listen to your goals, assess your facial structure and skin, and talk through suitable options. If treatment is appropriate, we explain the process, likely results and any recovery before you decide. Results vary from person to person.
To help make your experience as smooth as possible, here are a few tips:
- Avoid blood-thinning meds and supplements (like aspirin or anti-inflammatories) for two weeks before your appointment to reduce bruising.
- Avoid COVID vaccinations two weeks before and after your treatment
- Come with a clean face, no makeup, sunscreen, or lip products on the day
- These small steps help you get the best, most comfortable experience possible.
Depending on your treatment, you may spend a little time icing the area to ease any swelling or bruising. We’ll also recommend:
- Using a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily and protecting treated areas from the sun
- Avoiding alcohol and strenuous activity for the rest of the day
- Showering as usual and gently shaving treated areas only after the skin has healed
- You can wear makeup right away if you’d like
