Volume Restoration & Facial Contouring in Paphos

Over time, the face naturally loses volume, especially around the eyes and mid-face. Carefully placed volume-restoring treatments can subtly support these areas for a smoother, more rested appearance while maintaining natural features. For volume restoration and facial contouring in Paphos, Dr Valentina Stavrou provides carefully planned, natural-looking treatment.

What is volume restoration?

Volume restoration uses dermal filler in carefully selected areas to provide subtle support. The goal is not to change your face, but to restore balance and reduce a tired or hollow appearance.

Treatment focuses on areas where natural volume loss has the most visible impact, helping you look refreshed and rested rather than different.

  • Subtle support using dermal filler
  • Restores balance without changing your features
  • Designed for a natural, rested result

Common treatment areas

Volume loss tends to affect certain areas of the face more noticeably with time. Treatment is tailored to the areas that will make the most natural difference for each patient.

  • Under-eye hollowness (selected cases)
  • Mid-face support and cheek volume
  • Overall facial balance and contour
  • A tired or drawn appearance

Not every area needs treatment. The focus is always on what will create the most natural improvement.

Our approach

Every treatment plan begins with anatomy and individual facial structure. Dr Stavrou takes a conservative, safety-first approach, with particular expertise in the delicate periocular (around-the-eye) area.

  • Anatomy-first planning for every patient
  • Conservative treatment (never overfilled)
  • Eye-safe approach for periocular areas
  • Natural facial harmony as the guiding principle
  • Careful attention to eyelid position, tear film balance, and long-term eye comfort

What to expect

Treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess suitability and discuss realistic outcomes. Planning is careful and staged when appropriate.

  • Consultation to confirm suitability and safety
  • Conservative, staged planning when appropriate
  • Clear aftercare instructions provided

The goal is always the same: a rested, natural appearance that still looks like you.

Why an ophthalmologist?

The area around the eyes is one of the most delicate regions of the face. As a specialist ophthalmologist, Dr Stavrou brings detailed knowledge of periocular anatomy, including the eyelids, tear film, and surrounding structures.

This background means treatments near the eyes are planned with a clear understanding of both the aesthetic goals and the safety considerations that matter most in this area.

  • Expert knowledge of periocular anatomy
  • Eye safety prioritised in every treatment
  • Understanding of how treatments interact with eyelid function and comfort

Combining treatments

Many patients achieve the most natural overall result by combining subtle volume support with other treatments. Depending on your goals, volume restoration can work well alongside:

Frequently Asked Questions about volume restoration

How long do dermal fillers last?

Results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. Dr Stavrou will discuss expected duration during your consultation.

Is filler treatment safe near the eyes?

The periocular area requires particular expertise. As an ophthalmologist, Dr Stavrou has detailed knowledge of the anatomy around the eyes and plans every treatment with eye safety as a priority. Only selected patients are suitable for under-eye filler.

Will it look natural?

The goal is always a natural, rested appearance. Treatment is conservative and anatomy-led, designed to restore balance rather than create an overfilled look. Results should look like you, only refreshed.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Minor swelling or bruising is possible and usually resolves within a few days. Detailed aftercare guidance is provided at the time of treatment.
