Hollowing & Sunken Cheeks

About the Condition

Discover effective treatments to restore volume to hollowing or sunken cheeks

Hollowing or sunken cheeks are characterised by a loss of fullness in the midface area, leading to a gaunt or tired appearance. As we age, collagen, elastin, and facial fat naturally diminish, causing the cheeks to appear hollow. Lifestyle factors, such as significant weight loss, smoking, and inadequate skincare can also contribute to this lack of volume. Additionally, environmental aggressors like UV exposure can accelerate the ageing process, further impacting cheek fullness.

Whether you’re looking to regain a more youthful contour or enhance facial balance, Smooth Dimensions offers a range of treatments tailored to restore cheek volume and revitalise your overall appearance.

Condition Causes

Common causes for hollowing or sunken cheeks

The primary cause of hollowing or sunken cheeks is the natural ageing process, which involves a gradual decline in collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat in the face. This results in decreased support for the overlying skin, leading to a hollowed midface. Other contributing factors include significant weight loss or certain medical conditions, which can reduce facial fat. Additionally, environmental damage particularly from sun exposure speeds up collagen breakdown, while habits like smoking can further exacerbate volume loss. Understanding these causes can guide the selection of the most effective treatments to restore cheek fullness.
