You have always valued your commitment and discipline in your pursuit of health and better wellbeing. Imagine the moment when you happily try on clothes in a smaller size - a moment of triumph, an acknowledgement of your hard work. But suddenly, in the midst of these joyful changes, you notice something that causes you concern - a sunken face after weight loss. It is a phenomenon that can overshadow even the greatest success in weight reduction.
Although the body is looking better and better, the dark circles under the eyes and clearly outlined cheekbones do not match your inner optimism. Sometimes, after significant weight loss, your smile seems less full and your outlook more tired - as if accelerated ageing has occurred. How does weight loss reveal the signs of ageing and what can be done about it?
What is the sunken face effect and why does the face collapse after weight loss?
Effect "sunken face" (Sunken face) is a term used to describe the loss of youthful roundness and fullness of the face, often occurring after drastic or rapid weight loss.
Why does the face collapse after weight loss?
The face of a young czł man is characterised by evenly distributed subcutaneous fat bundles, which provide a natural scaffolding and are responsible for its volume. When you lose weight, you lose fat not only from your belly or thighs, but also from your face. This loss of cheek volume and temples makes the skin, which was previously tight, looser and flaccidity tissue becomes more visible. These defects accentuate signs of ageing that were previously 'hidden' beneath the fatty tissue, leading to deeper shadows and an impression of sunken face.
How to prevent loss of firmness after dieting?
While you cannot completely stop the natural process, you can actively support your skin in regeneration after weight loss. Wellclinic's holistic approach combines aesthetic medicine with health, offering therapies that target the production of collagen - a protein that determines elasticity.
In order to minimise flaccidity and keep firmness skins, experts recommend:
- Caring for collagen - proper nutrition and supplementation to support natural production collagen is the foundation of skin elasticity.
- Gentle weight loss - Avoiding a very fast and restrictive diet allows the skin to adapt better to the new shape.
- WellEffect combination therapies - use advanced treatment protocols that promote the reconstruction of the skin's internal structure, improving the facial oval.
Sunken face - what treatments to restore facial volume do we use at Wellclinic?
At Wellclinic, rather than overuse of traditional fillers, which can give a 'pumped up' effect, we focus on a lift without fillers and stimulating your skin to regenerate itself. These therapies are designed to promote the restoration of the collagen and restore natural volume by thickening the internal skin structure.
What treatments restore volume?
- Tissue stimulators - that biostimulatorswhich are introduced into the deep layers of the skin to activate fibroblasts - the cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. Unlike fillers, their purpose is not only to add volume, but above all to start the process of biological skin regeneration after weight loss. Some patients report a noticeable improvement in facial oval and skin density after just the first session.
- Mesotherapy - this protocol involves the delivery of personalised nutritional cocktails (vitamins, hyaluronic acid, peptides) deep into the skin. Mesotherapy deeply moisturises, nourishes and can intensively promote cell renewal, which is important in the fight against flaccidity skin after weight reduction.
Technology you can trust
Our protocols, including the frequently used Quantum Face - proprietary combination therapy, use advanced medical platforms such as BTL EXION technology devices. This platform combines, among other things. micro-needle radiofrequency with AI pulse control and monopolar radiofrequency i targeted ultrasound. The method is backed by clinical studies and the equipment we use has the necessary safety certifications, guaranteeing the possibility of transformation, while maintaining the highest safety standards.
"Many patients think they only need fillers. Our job is to show them that long-lasting results are achieved by rebuilding the skin's own structures - stimulating the collagen. This lifting without fillerswhich respects natural beauty and protects against the sunken face effect". - says the Wellclinic cosmetologist.
