Sunken Cheeks

Cheeks play a pivotal role in shaping one’s facial structure, adding vitality and youthfulness. However, with age or due to specific factors, many individuals notice a change in their cheek volume. This phenomenon, often referred to as sunken or deflated cheeks, can affect one’s self-confidence, making them appear older or more fatigued than they truly are. At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, Dr. Sam Assassa, M.D., a renowned non-surgical aesthetic cosmetic specialist, offers insights into this condition and effective solutions tailored for Los Angeles and Beverly Hills patients.

What Leads to Hollow Cheeks?

Several factors contribute to the appearance of sunken cheeks, including:

• Aging Process: As we age, it’s natural for the body to produce less collagen and elastin. These proteins provide skin elasticity and fullness. With their decline, cheeks can lose volume and appear hollow.
• Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can cause a decrease in facial fat, leading to sunken cheeks. While shedding pounds is often a health-positive change, it can sometimes have unintended aesthetic consequences.
• Genetics: Just as the shape of our eyes or nose can be attributed to genetics, the same goes for the fat distribution in our face. Some people might naturally have less facial fat, leading to inherently hollow cheeks.
• Health Conditions: Specific health issues or conditions can contribute to decreased facial volume. Always consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical causes.

Revitalizing Your Appearance: Sunken Cheeks Treatment

Los Angeles and Beverly Hills residents seeking to rejuvenate their facial appearance have several options to consider:

• Dermal Fillers: These are among the most sought-after treatments for hollow cheeks. Fillers can add volume to the cheeks, giving them a fuller, more youthful appearance. They are minimally invasive and offer immediate results.
• Fat Transfer: This involves extracting fat from another part of the body and injecting it into the cheeks. It’s a more permanent solution compared to fillers and utilizes the patient’s natural body fat.
• Skin Tightening Treatments: Technology that uses ultrasound or radio-frequency energy can tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production, enhancing cheek volume.

Dr. Sam Assassa’s expertise in non-surgical aesthetic treatments ensures that patients receive care tailored to their unique needs and desired outcomes.
