Volume loss refers to the reduction of underlying soft tissue, fat cells, and adipose tissue that naturally exist beneath the skin. As these supportive structures age, are exposed to sunlight, or change with weight, patients may notice sagging skin, hollow areas, and a tired appearance.
Common areas affected include the cheeks, under-eye region, nasolabial folds, temples, lips, and even the body. Volume loss can also contribute to cellulite dimples, hip dips, and loss of fullness in the breast or buttocks.
JanigaMDs offers a range of advanced options designed to treat volume loss safely and effectively.
Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat transfer or fat grafting, uses a patient’s own fat cells to restore volume. During this surgical procedure, fat is harvested through liposuction, purified, and carefully injected into areas needing enhancement. Because the material is autologous fat, the body naturally recognizes it, encouraging natural-looking results.
Injectable dermal fillers (including HA fillers, or hyaluronic acid-based fillers) are a non-surgical way to restore immediate volume. These filler injections are commonly used to improve wrinkles, vertical lines, hollow cheeks, and nasolabial folds. Other synthetic fillers can also stimulate mild collagen production, helping improve skin quality over time.
Biostimulators such as poly lactic acid stimulate natural collagen production in the skin and soft tissues. Instead of providing immediate volume like HA fillers, they encourage the body to rebuild its own structural support over time. These treatments help improve facial volume, skin texture, and overall youthful appearance, especially in areas affected by soft tissue atrophy and aging.
Renuva is an injectable treatment that helps restore volume by using an adipose-derived matrix that encourages the body to regenerate fat cells in the treated area. It is often used for contour irregularities, cellulite dimples, and small areas of volume loss where fat transfer may not be necessary.
AlloClae is an advanced regenerative treatment that supports tissue restoration and volume enhancement using biologically active components and growth factors. It can help improve skin quality, restore subtle volume, and enhance overall appearance with natural-looking results.
Before treatment, patients meet with a JanigaMDs specialist for an office visit and consultation. During this evaluation, your provider will assess the treatment area, review your medical history, and determine whether you are an ideal candidate.
Patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations regarding outcomes. Some treatments may be performed under local anesthesia, while others may require general anesthesia. Your provider will explain risks, benefits, and expected recovery.
Your procedure will depend on the chosen treatment. Injectable options, such as dermal fillers or biostimulators, are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour. Surgical options, such as fat grafting or fat transfer, involve harvesting fat through liposuction and carefully injecting it into targeted areas.
All treatments are designed to restore volume, enhance contours, and improve overall facial or body harmony.
After treatment, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area. Surgical patients may be instructed to wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling.
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days for non-surgical treatments, while surgical recovery may take up to two weeks, depending on the procedure.
Results vary depending on treatment type. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume, while biostimulators and fat transfer results develop gradually as collagen builds and tissue integrates. Maintaining results may require periodic touch-ups or maintenance treatments.

As a patient of both Dr. Jennifer and Tim Janiga, I have the utmost praise for the care I have received. They are fantastic at what they do. The attention to detail and going ‘above and beyond’ is very much appreciated.
I’m giving Dr. Janiga 5 stars because of I love the results of my surgeries. He listened to my concerns and we decided together the best options based on my budget and the outcome that I wanted. He did a Lip Lift for me in May 2015. I am so happy with the results. My thin flat upper lip now has that cute cupids bow and it looks natural. He did this surgery in his in his Office Surgical Suite.
I’ve had microneedling, fillers, and Botox with Charlotte and I am very happy with the results. Charlotte is always so informative and answers all of my questions. I really like her conservative approach and recommendations. She is friendly and we always have great conversation!
