496: Facial Fat Loss: What’s Aging You Prematurely
Feb 04, 2023
Show notes
Facial fat atrophy, also known as facial lipoatrophy, is a condition where the fat in the face diminishes, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance. This can occur due to a variety of causes, including genetics, aging, and certain medical conditions or treatments. One of the most common causes of facial fat atrophy is aging. As we get older, our bodies naturally lose fat, including in the face. This can result in a gaunt or hollow appearance, making us look older than we feel. Additionally, certain medical conditions, such as HIV/AIDS and diabetes, can also lead to facial fat atrophy. Another major cause of facial fat atrophy is certain treatments, such as radiation therapy and certain medications. Radiation therapy, which is used to treat cancer, can damage the fat cells in the face, resulting in a sunken appearance. Certain medications, such as corticosteroids, can also lead to facial fat atrophy by causing the body to break down fat. Treatment options for facial fat atrophy include dermal fillers, fat grafting, and facial surgery. Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, can be injected into the face to add volume and improve the appearance of sunken or hollow areas. Fat grafting, which involves taking fat from one area of the body and transplanting it to the face, can also be used to restore volume. Facial surgery, such as a facelift, can also be used to improve the appearance of sunken or hollow areas in the face. It is important to consult with a medical professional to determine the best course of treatment for facial fat atrophy. With the right approach, it is possible to restore a more youthful and full appearance to the face.

Jan 11, 2023
Show notes
Broad hips, thin waists, larger busts/butts- there’s always an unrealistic beauty standard that most women are faced with and are expected to live up to.

With social media and the internet so easily accessible, it’s hard not to get caught up in harmful body image. Beauty trends like buccal fat removal and nose gaps (first seen in the likes of Lea Michelle and Chrissy Teigen) add even more unattainable expectations to women’s ideology of beauty. Let’s talk about it.
