What are sunken cheeks and how can we correct them?
Sunken cheeks form when there is a lack of tissue between the zygomatic bone and the mandible. This is often genetically dependable, however this is frequent in athletic people due to their low percentage of body fat. As we age we also loose a large amount of bone density and subcutaneous fat which will cause the appearance of sunken cheeks. Dermal filler formally known as Hyaluronic acid can be placed on and around this area in a bid to raise volume and definition. This can create an illusion of more defined and less sunken cheek bones which can have beautifying affect. Dermal filler can also cause an increase in collagen in the area causing an increase in volume. When performed in the correct way cheek filler can look completely natural and is very popular between both men and women.
