Research by aesthetic manufacturer Teoxane highlights growing concern around facial fat loss. Conducted by independent European data collector Norstat on behalf of Teoxane, the research surveyed 2,500 women in the UK.
A key theme was heightened concern around facial fat loss, with 65% of women expressing worry that they may experience it in the future, according to the company.
Among those who have experienced facial fat loss following weight loss, 84% are aged 18-24, compared to 53% aged 35-44, Teoxane explains. In addition, 42% of people in the UK say they have addressed facial fat loss with dermal filler, with the leading demographic aged 35-55 (51%), followed by 18-34-year-olds (38%), the company shares.
Among those who have lost weight rapidly, 60% felt they had experienced noticeable facial fat loss. The aesthetic manufacturer claims the most common visible changes were loss of temple volume (31%) and noticing a more prominent bone structure (37%).
Teoxane key opinion leader and aesthetic practitioner Dr Raul Cetto commented: “It is now one of the most frequent topics I encounter in clinic, and the data backs that up. Patients are no longer simply asking about lines and wrinkles, they are asking why their face looks ‘tired’ or ‘deflated’, and they want to understand why.”
