Hollow / Sunken Cheeks

Sunken cheeks refer to a facial feature where the cheeks appear hollow or indented, often creating a gaunt or aged appearance. This can be caused by various factors, including:

1. Aging: As people age, the natural fat pads in the face may diminish, leading to a loss of volume in the cheeks.
2. Genetics: Some individuals may have naturally less prominent cheekbones or a thinner facial structure, contributing to hollow cheeks.
3. Weight loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can result in the loss of fat in the face, causing the cheeks to appear sunken.
4. Poor diet: Inadequate nutrition or a diet lacking in essential nutrients can impact facial fat distribution, leading to sunken cheeks.
5. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, or chronic illnesses, may affect facial fat distribution and contribute to hollow cheeks.
6. Lifestyle factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure can accelerate the aging process and contribute to the loss of facial volume, including in the cheeks.

Sculptra for Collagen Loss

For sunken cheeks linked to reduced collagen and skin strength, Sculptra offers a gradual, regenerative approach. By stimulating your body’s own collagen production, it helps improve mid-face support and skin quality over time.

Where sunken cheeks are caused by volume loss or reduced structural support, dermal fillers can be used strategically to restore balance and improve facial contours. This approach focuses on support rather than overfilling, maintaining a natural appearance.

Thread Lifts for Support and Repositioning

For clients requiring additional support or repositioning of mid-face tissue, thread lifts provide a non-surgical option to improve structure and reduce the appearance of sunken cheeks, enhancing overall facial harmony.

When cheek hollowing is linked to volume loss or weakened facial support, dermal fillers can be placed with precision to restore balance and enhance contour. The focus is on rebuilding support and structure while preserving a natural appearance.
