Sunken Cheeks
What is Sunken Cheeks?
"Sunken Cheeks" refer to a hollow, gaunt, or concave appearance in the midface area, specifically in the cheeks. This can give the face an aged, tired, or undernourished look. The tear troughs with eyebags always worsen the sunken cheeks appearance. Sunken cheeks often occur as part of the natural aging process but can also be influenced by lifestyle or genetics.
Symptoms of Sunken Cheeks:
-
Hollow or gaunt appearance in the cheek area
-
Loss of fullness in the midface, creating a concave shape
-
Prominent cheekbones due to volume loss in surrounding areas
-
Shadows or hollows that make the face appear older or tired
-
Overall facial imbalance, as fullness in the cheeks is a key aspect of a youthful look
What are the causes of Sunken Temples?
-
Aging: With age, there is a natural decline in collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat, which results in volume loss and sagging in the cheeks.
-
Genetics: Some people naturally have less volume in their cheeks, making them appear sunken even at a young age.
-
Weight Loss: Significant weight loss, especially in the face, can result in less volume and structure in the cheeks.
-
Bone Density Loss: The bones of the face, including the cheekbones, can lose density over time, which can impact cheek structure.
-
Lifestyle Factors: Factors like smoking, poor diet, and high-stress levels can accelerate aging and volume loss in the face.
