One of the key effects of ageing is that our faces lose volume. When we are young, our faces are full and voluminous, without any wrinkles. As we get older the volume in our face decreases and the cheeks flatten and sag, descending from their usual high position in the face near the eyes, to a lower position. This leads to the formation of nasolabial folds (the folds from the corners of the nose to the mouth), oral commissures (the folds just beneath the corners of the mouth), and the jowls ( the skin that sags beneath the jawline) creating a more square appearance to the face. One of the advantages of treating the cheeks is that it lifts the entire face and reduces folds, lines and jowls as well as reverting the shape of the face to a youthful 'upside down triangle'.
