Facial & Under Eye Volume

Facial volume contributes to overall balance and expression. With time and other factors, some people notice hollowing through the mid-face or under-eye area. Our clinical assessments consider whether a non-surgical volumising treatment may be appropriate for you and, if so, discuss options, likely benefits, risks, and recovery so you can make an informed decision. These are higher-risk non-surgical procedures that may involve prescription-only medicines and must be advertised and provided in line with Ahpra and TGA requirements.

What Is Facial & Under Eye Volume Treatment?

Volumising treatments are clinician-delivered procedures used to replenish or redistribute volume in selected areas of the face. The goal is to refine proportion and soften the appearance of hollows while maintaining a natural look. Advertising and consultations must present balanced, realistic information—including risks, variability of outcomes, and recovery—so expectations remain achievable.

Common Treatment Areas

Volume loss in the face can impact overall symmetry, contributing to a tired or aged appearance. Targeted treatments may help restore volume, improve definition, and refine contours while maintaining natural facial balance.

Loss of mid-face volume can contribute to a flattened or sagging appearance. Treatment may lift and support cheek contour when appropriate following assessment. (Not everyone is suitable; alternatives may be discussed.)

Volume loss beneath the eyes can create shadows. Carefully selected treatment may improve the appearance of hollowing. This area requires thorough assessment as not all patients are candidates.

Where the under-eye meets the cheek, targeted volumising may reduce the look of hollows. Individual anatomy and skin quality determine suitability; risks and expected recovery are discussed at consultation.

In selected cases, restoring volume in areas such as the jawline, temples, or mid-face may help balance proportions. Treatment plans are individualised and outcomes vary from person to person.

Benefits of Facial & Under Eye Volume

  • Balances Proportions – May help refine facial symmetry in key areas when clinically appropriate.

  • Targeted Approach – Focuses on specific concerns such as cheek support or under-eye hollowing.

  • Non-Surgical Option – Performed by a registered health practitioner following assessment and informed consent.

  • Results & Longevity Vary – Responses differ between individuals; duration and maintenance needs are not the same for everyone. Advertising must not overstate effect onset, duration, or frequency of maintenance.

Risks & Recovery

  • All procedures carry risks. Possible, usually temporary effects can include swelling, tenderness or bruising; less common but serious complications can occur and will be discussed during consultation.

  • Recovery needs vary. You may need time and appropriate aftercare; temporary activity restrictions (e.g., strenuous exercise/heat exposure) may be advised.

  • Pain differs between people. Treatments must not be described as “painless”; comfort options can be discussed at consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

These treatments may help address hollowing or contour changes by restoring or redistributing volume in selected areas after clinical assessment. Outcomes, if achieved, differ between individuals. Advertising should avoid implying that any specific result is guaranteed.

Tear trough treatment targets the groove between the under-eye and cheek to reduce the appearance of hollowing. Suitability depends on anatomy and skin quality; your practitioner will explain likely benefits, risks and alternatives before proceeding.

All procedures have risks. Your practitioner will discuss potential risks and recovery, provide aftercare advice, and explain when to seek urgent review. Advertising must include accessible, realistic risk information.

Cheek treatment may support mid-face structure and contour in suitable candidates. Assessment is required to determine the most appropriate approach for your needs.

Onset, duration and maintenance vary with the individual and the specific technique used. Advertising must not mislead about how quickly effects appear, how long they last, or how often treatment may be required. Your practitioner will outline a personalised plan.

Most people can resume light daily activities soon after, though swelling or bruising can occur and may last several days or longer. Recovery time and experience vary; your practitioner will provide guidance tailored to you. Advertising must not describe procedures as “quick” or “easy” without contextual risk information.

Most facial volume treatments involve minimal to no downtime, allowing clients to resume daily activities shortly after. Some temporary swelling, bruising or sensitivity may occur, and aftercare guidance is provided post-treatment.

A consultation with a registered health practitioner is required to assess your concerns, medical history, and goals. Where appropriate, we’ll discuss options, expected variability of outcomes, risks and aftercare so you can make an informed choice.
