The Importance of the Mid-Face

The middle face, also known as the mid-face, is the anchor of your face. Forming the central facial triangle (eyes, nose, cheeks, lips), a full, elevated middle face presents a youthful, awake look. As we age, however, skin loses elasticity and volume, causing a sagging, hollowed out, and fatigued appearance.

For example, even if you practice good skincare and healthy lifestyle habits, you may still deal with the formation of nasolabial lines, known as smile lines, which can betray your age.

It’s important to understand that if one part of your face begins to lose collagen, this affects the structural support within other areas of the face. For example, hollowing cheeks can contribute to nasolabial lines and sagging jowls.

What are the signs of Mid Face Aging & Volume Loss?

Signs of mid-face aging include:

• Hollow cheekbones: the apples of your cheeks are either less noticeable, or virtually absent
• Under eye circles: the delicate eye area, more susceptible to aging due to thinner skin, appears darker under the bottom eyelids
• Nasolabial lines: beginning as fine lines on both sides of the mouth, these lines can deepen into prominent nasolabial folds, causing a sagging appearance.
• Crooked nose/ drooping tip: while other areas of the face lose volume with age, the nose actually appears bigger over time. This stems from gravity and weakening of the nose’s cartilage.

Dermal Fillers for Lost Volume

As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, or what gives structure and plumpness to our faces. Dermal fillers replace lost volume, restoring a youthful, refreshed aesthetic. 

Benefits of Fillers

• Immediate Results: Noticeable improvement right after treatment.
• Non-Surgical: Minimally invasive (no need for incisions or anaesthesia.)
• Quick Procedure: Typically completed in 30 minutes to an hour.
• Natural-Looking: Enhances facial contours without looking overdone.
• Long-Lasting: Effects can last from 6 months to over a year (depends on the filler used.)

Dermal Filler Key Active Ingredients and Side Effects

Dermal fillers typically consist of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body that helps with moisture retention and joint lubrication.

Common side effects from fillers include:

• mild redness
• tenderness at injection sites
• swelling
• bruising

These symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Note that symptoms can vary per patient.

Dermal fillers are CE-marked medical devices, regulated for professional use in the UK.

Mid-Face Dermal Fillers and NCTF Mesotherapy Treatments in Birmingham

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Liquid Nose Filler) in Birmingham

Addressing concerns such as asymmetry, bumps, and drooping tips, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a quick, convenient, and effective alternative to surgical rhinoplasties.

NCTF mesotherapy is a CE-marked medical device regulated for professional use in the UK.

Nasolabial Fold Filler in Birmingham

Extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, nasolabial lines, or smile lines, can deepen over time into nasolabial folds due to ageing, sun exposure, genetics, and repeated facial expressions. Face weight loss, or “Ozempic face,” can also worsen nasolabial lines.

One of the earliest signs of aging, nasolabial lines can appear in your mid-late 20s. These lines can cause a mismatch in your appearance: your face looks young, but your mouth area looks aged.

Cheek Filler (Mid-Face Filler) in Birmingham

Do your cheeks look hollow? Are your cheeks sagging? Aging, sun damage, and repetitive facial expressions can take a toll on the apples of your cheeks.

Face weight loss, whether from exercise, dieting, or Ozempic, can also cause noticeable cheek hollows. Cheek filler restores youthful looking volume without looking overdone.

Cheek fillers can also address facial asymmetry and enhance your cheek’s natural contours, so you can enjoy a more balanced facial appearance. By receiving cheek fillers, you also provide structural support to your face overall. For example, cheek fillers provide structural support for both the upper and lower face, improving under eye hollows and sagging jowls, respectively.

Understanding “Ozempic Face” & GLP-1 Weight Loss Facial Changes

At Dr Aesthetica, we have noted an increase in patients seeking to address:

• Ozempic face
• Mounjaro face
• Wegovy face

These weight loss-related facial changes, due to GLP-1 medications, cause a mismatch in appearance: patients happy with body weight loss results, but unhappy with their noticeably gaunt or tired face. 

Signs of face weight loss in the middle face include:

• Hollow cheeks
• Sagging cheeks
• Under eye circles
• Under eye hollows
• Formation of nasolabial lines
• Deepening of nasolabial folds

What Is Ozempic Face?

Ozempic face is when your face becomes noticeably gaunt and hollowed out when taking semaglutide (GLP-1) medication, like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy. While you may be pleased with your overall weight loss results for your body, you may feel insecure about the effects of face weight loss on your appearance.

Why Face Weight Loss Happens

Rapid weight loss

Rapid weight loss reduces facial fat and muscle tone, resulting in volume loss around the face. As fat and muscle can provide structural support to your face, loss of fat and muscle affect skin elasticity. The result? Saggy skin and tissue in addition to volume loss.

Rapid weight loss can occur due to medications (such as Ozempic), medical/ hormonal conditions, diet changes, over exercising, etc. For example, runner face refers to runners and athletes with a gaunt or sagging face, similar in looks to “semaglutide face.”

Aging

As we age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, causing volume loss and sagging skin.

Genetics and Facial Structure

 Genes and facial structure can predispose some individuals to lose facial volume sooner in life.

Patients dealing with hollowed out cheeks, dark under circles, and nasolabial lines want to restore a youthful, plump glow to their faces that still matches their weight loss results.

Why GLP-1 Medications Affect the Face

Semaglutide medications cause weight loss not just in stubborn areas, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Semaglutide medications affect weight loss throughout the whole body, including your face. The amount of “Ozempic face” or face weight loss depends on:

• the dosage you take and how often
• diet
• exercise
• sun exposure
• tobacco use

While many patients understand the effect of fat loss on the face, many don’t know that fat and muscle loss impact the structural support of your skin. Less subcutaneous fat and less muscle can mean less skin elasticity and firmness. The result? A gaunt face paired with sagging skin.

How To Avoid Ozempic Face

Considering taking semaglutide but scared of changes to your face? To avoid Ozempic face, focus on slow and steady weight loss. Ozempic face occurs because of rapid weight loss, and the faster you lose weight, the gaunter your face becomes.

Also prioritise healthy foods, such as lean proteins, and remain hydrated.

Fillers for Ozempic Face Aging

A combination of dermal filler injections can address face weight loss concerns. With a personalised treatment plan, Dr Farmah restores vitality to your face.
