I'm worried because my face looks thinner due to sunken cheeks.
I am concerned because at some point, the area below my cheekbones started looking sunken. It’s not like I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, but when I take photos, both cheeks look hollow, and my facial contours appear more uneven than before. It looks somewhat okay from the front, but the hollowness seems to be more pronounced when photographed from the side or standing under lighting.
Is sunken cheeks caused simply by a lack of facial fat? Or do factors like decreased skin elasticity or facial structure also play a role? I have considered volume treatments like fillers or Sculptra, but I am not sure if filling them in is always the best option.
I am particularly concerned about sunken cheeks; if the procedure is performed incorrectly, my face might look unnatural or even appear larger. I am also wondering which is more suitable: directly filling the sunken areas with volume or performing a lifting procedure. Since the causes likely vary from person to person, I would appreciate it if the hospital staff could advise on what aspects I should check during the consultation.

- 01CommentsThe forehead and glabella are areas prone to developing fixed wrinkles due to repeated muscle folding during facial expressions, so it is truly wise to manage these areas proactively as a preventative measure! Generally, receiving wrinkle Botox every 3 to 4 months—timed to allow muscle movement to gradually return to normal—naturally prevents wrinkles from deepening. Xeomin is highly preferred because it is a pure toxin purified from complex proteins, which minimizes concerns about antibody formation or resistance with repeated treatments. You may wash your face and apply light makeup 3 to 4 hours after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid saunas, excessive alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for about a week to prevent drug diffusion. During your consultation with the doctor, please ask them to adjust the dosage to a natural level that matches your eyebrow movements!550026.11.07

- 02CommentsI also got a consultation because I was told I looked tired due to defined lines under my cheekbones when I was expressionless. They told me that nasolabial folds need to be considered in conjunction with cheek hollowing or sagging. Since Botox alone might not solve the problem, make sure to ask about concerns regarding facial movements during your consultation. As someone who had a reality check to see if massages could smooth them out, I think it's faster to just see a professional.3840026.11.04
