Concerns about sunken cheeks after lifting procedure
2026.05.19 08:28
Hello. My concerns about skin elasticity have gotten much worse lately, so I am looking into lifting procedures at a dermatology clinic. Many people around me have recommended treatments like InMode or Shurink.
However, after looking up reviews online, I saw posts saying that a side effect is 'cheek hollowing,' which actually makes you look older, and that really scared me. I don't have much cheek fat to begin with, and my cheekbones are slightly prominent, so I'm even more worried.
Is there anyone out there who, like me, has thin cheeks but was satisfied with a lifting procedure? Alternatively, if there are other procedures (e.g., Oligio, Thermage, etc.) that can safely manage elasticity without the side effect of sunken cheeks, please recommend them! I'm also curious if the results depend heavily on the doctor's skill. I look forward to your valuable comments.

- 03CommentsI sympathize with you saying that when your arms are rough, you want to rub them, but you want to know their condition first haha.200026.11.04
- 01CommentsIf it stings even after applying moisturizing cream, it might indicate that your skin barrier is weakened rather than just being dry. If it were me, instead of getting a skin booster right away, I would consider reducing the use of irritating products for a while, stabilize your skin condition with soothing care, and then think about the procedure.400026.10.30
- 02CommentsIt must be inconvenient if your lips dry out again even after applying lip balm. Would it be helpful to review your moisturizing method if you could list the lip products you are currently using and when the stinging occurs?410026.10.30
- 03CommentsIf it is difficult to go out without lip balm, it must be really miserable every change of season. I sympathize with your curiosity about whether it is simply dryness or if there is another cause.310026.10.31
