all about
sunken
cheeks

what are sunken cheeks?

Your face contains several fat compartments. When these shrink through ageing, weight loss or genetics, the cheeks start to lose their rounded shape. This creates shadows and a sharper contrast between the cheekbones and jawline.

causes and triggers

• natural breakdown of fat and collagen due to ageing
• drastic weight loss
• genetic predisposition
• sun and smoking damage
• stress, lack of sleep and an unhealthy diet

symptoms

• hollow or flat cheeks
• deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
• shadows under the cheekbones and a tired appearance
• less support for the under-eye area

who is a treatment suitable for?

Would you like to restore lost volume or simply achieve a softer look? This treatment is suitable for both men and women. Whether you’re younger and have lost weight, or over 40 and noticing age-related volume loss, a personalised treatment plan can make all the difference.

treatment methods at uma clinic

fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume in the midface, such as the cheekbones and cheeks. They give an immediate, subtle lift, without the risk of unnatural ‘chipmunk cheeks’. Your contours look firmer and your face fresher and more youthful, while your natural expressions stay intact.

polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are biostimulating injectables that improve skin texture from within. They stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve skin thickness. Ideal if the skin in your cheek area is starting to sag or show signs of ageing.

skin boosters

Skin boosters such as NCTF, Belotero Revive and Profhilo contain hyaluronic acid and other nourishing ingredients that deeply hydrate and improve skin quality. They restore elasticity, leaving your skin smoother and more supple, without adding volume.

prf

PRF is a 100% natural treatment that uses growth factors from your own blood to regenerate the skin. By stimulating collagen production from within, it gradually improves your skin texture.

combination treatment

For a natural, lasting result, we often combine botox, fillers and skin boosters. Botox relaxes the muscles, fillers restore volume and skin boosters improve skin quality. Together, they create a fresher, more relaxed look.

results you can expect

• fillers give immediately visible volume and a softer contour.
• polynucleotides and PRF build collagen; after 4 to 6 weeks you’ll see extra firmness and glow.
• your face looks younger, fuller and less tired, while your natural expressions are preserved.

before and aftercare

• avoid intensive exercise, sauna and massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours.
• use SPF 50 daily.
• a healthy diet supports your skin.
