Primary factor
Natural Ageing
Facial fat pads gradually lose volume over time, and bone density in the face can also decrease with age.
Hollow Cheeks
Restore Volume and Support for a Fuller, More Youthful Contour
What is a Hollow Cheeks Treatment?
Hollow cheeks treatment refers to procedures designed to restore lost volume and support in the mid-face, addressing the sunken or tired appearance that can develop as facial fat pads and underlying structures change over time. This can happen gradually with natural ageing, or more suddenly following significant weight loss, and tends to become more noticeable as the skin loses some of its underlying support. Because hollow cheeks are primarily a volume concern rather than a skin laxity issue, treatment usually focuses on replacing lost volume and supporting facial structure, rather than tightening the skin's surface alone.
What Causes Hollow Cheeks?
Significant Weight Loss
Rapid or substantial weight loss often reduces facial fat more noticeably than other areas of the body.
Genetics
Some people naturally have less facial fat or a more angular bone structure, making hollowness more apparent from a younger age.
Smoking and Lifestyle Factors
Smoking and chronic dehydration can accelerate the breakdown of facial volume and skin quality over time.
Certain Medical Conditions
Some medical conditions and medications can contribute to facial fat loss.
