Facial anti-aging has always been a topic of concern for those seeking beauty. However, facial fat management is often overlooked when trying to maintain a youthful face.
Generally speaking, there are several main reasons for facial aging, bone absorption, loosening of the fascia layer due to ligament aging, loss of facial volume, and loss of collagen, which lead to dull and loose skin.

| Beyond Skincare Why Facial Fat is Essential for a Youthful Appearance |
Among them, with age or sudden weight loss, a large loss of facial fat volume will lead to the most obvious collapse, which is not comparable to simple skin aging. If skin aging is just the peeling of the outer wall, the loss of facial volume is equivalent to the "load-bearing wall" on our face being empty.
At this time, we need to increase the fat volume to allow the fat to play a supporting role. Paying attention to the management of facial fat can slow down aging and, to a certain extent, help improve facial depression, relaxation, sagging, etc.
Symptoms of Facial Fat Loss
What are the common symptoms after facial fat loss?
Facial fat loss is often accompanied by sagging and more prominent depressions. The most obvious depressions are in the temples, apple muscles, cheeks, forehead, etc., which often give people a sense of age.
As we age, the fat near each membrane tissue will increase or decrease, while the fat in the deep layer will be lost. Therefore, the face often appears sagging, and the lost fat will be excreted from the body as the body metabolizes.
Distribution of Facial Fat
Where is fat mainly distributed on the face?
At this point, we need to first understand the internal structure of the human face: the human face does not have only one large piece of fat, our fat also resides in different areas (fat compartments), and from a general perspective, all fat is divided into deep fat and shallow fat.
The distribution position is as follows: with the fascia layer as the boundary, the shallow fat is located under the skin, difficult to separate from the skin, and has a complete and coherent structure. The deep fat is distributed discontinuously, in blocks deep in the fascia.
Generally speaking, it is the deep fat that plays a decisive role in maintaining our youthful appearance, because this structure determines that the superficial fat only plays a protective role upwards, while the deep fat is distributed at the bottom layer and can play a supporting role, which can affect the contour and shape.
At the same time, the distribution of deep fat on our face is also very clever. It is mainly in the fat layer under the orbicularis oculi muscle, the temporal fat pad, and the cheek fat pad. These three positions are the support points for supporting the face from collapsing, which can form an anti-aging iron triangle.
Changing Trends in Facial Management
What is the current situation of facial management needs among those seeking beauty in recent years?
In recent years, the demands of those seeking beauty for facial management have actually changed.
In the past few years, their pursuit of thinner and smaller faces has reached its extreme. Whether due to the needs of certain professions or the guidance of aesthetic trends, those seeking beauty are more inclined to do "subtraction" in facial management. Therefore, the methods, products, and technologies of face slimming have also responded to the needs.
However, in recent years, the public's aesthetic taste has become more and more natural, and the smoothness and three-dimensionality of facial lines, as well as the youthful look brought by facial fullness have attracted more attention from those seeking beauty.
"Adding" to the face has become the choice of some people seeking beauty, especially those with sunken or sagging faces.
Of course, the management of facial fat is ultimately a matter of "degree". If there is too much, it needs to be reduced, and if there is too little, it needs to be increased. Those seeking beauty need to make choices based on their personal circumstances.
Improving Facial Depression and Sagging
So, what are the main ways to improve facial depression and sagging?
This brings us back to today's topic, which is to pay attention to the management of facial fat. People with less facial fat are less likely to have aging problems, but they are more likely to give people a dry visual feeling and lack of youth.
However, ordinary skin care products and maintenance products have limited effects on facial fat, so some people will choose to use medical beauty methods to improve it. For these people with needs, the more mainstream method is to improve it through fillers, among which autologous fat fillers are more popular.
Survival of Extracted Fat
Can the person still survive if the fat is extracted?
Yes, the survival rate is also one of the issues that people who seek beauty are very concerned about. First of all, autologous fat transplantation has a history of more than 100 years, and the technology is relatively mature.
Secondly, the development of purification technology has also greatly increased the survival rate of fat. Finally, we can use some methods to improve the survival rate of fat:
1. Choose a doctor with good transplantation technology: Generally, when extracting fat, doctors will do it right the first time, with gentle and accurate techniques. The extracted cells are complete and round. The shorter the time to release the air after extraction, the higher the survival rate of the transplanted fat will be if multi-layer and multi-tunnel injection is used.
2. Filling in small amounts multiple times: Many inexperienced doctors inject excessive amounts at one time in order to meet the requirements of patients. However, the injected fat cells do not receive enough blood supply, forming nodules, calcifications, cysts, liquefaction, etc., which ultimately leads to the inability of the fat to survive.
3. Take high-quality fat: The quality, particle size, density, viscosity and freshness of fat vary depending on the part of the body where the fat is provided. Generally, the fat on the inner and outer thighs has less oil and impurities, and its cells are the best, followed by the fat on the waist and abdomen.
Daily Prevention of Facial Fat Loss
We should know that the cause of facial fat loss is directly related to age. After reaching a certain age, the normal metabolic function of the skin weakens, and the fat and water that have a nutritional effect on cells will decrease, so the subcutaneous fat layer will become thinner or disappear, the dermis fibers will age, and the skin's tension and elasticity will decrease.
If you want to slow down the loss of facial fat, you need to maintain a good attitude, have a better living habit and eating habit, and eating more foods rich in collagen can also relieve symptoms. In addition, be careful not to lose weight drastically, and do it slowly, which is more beneficial to your health.
Conclusion
In the pursuit of youthful skin and an elegant appearance, facial fat management is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect. While many focus solely on skincare products and treatments, understanding the role of facial fat is essential for achieving a well-rounded anti-aging strategy.
As we age, the loss of facial fat can lead to visible signs of aging such as sagging, hollow cheeks, and a less defined jawline. By recognizing the importance of maintaining facial volume and addressing fat loss, we can take proactive steps to enhance our natural beauty.
Through a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary choices, and, if necessary, medical interventions like autologous fat fillers, individuals can rejuvenate their facial appearance and combat the effects of aging.
It’s vital to approach facial management with a balanced perspective—acknowledging when to add volume and when to reduce it—ensuring that the final result enhances one's unique beauty.
Ultimately, embracing facial fat as an integral component of facial aesthetics empowers us to redefine beauty standards and focus on health and vitality. With a commitment to understanding and managing facial fat, we can embrace a more youthful, radiant appearance that reflects our inner vibrance.
