Hollow Cheeks
Replace lost volume in the cheeks to give a nice subtle lift.
What are Hollow Cheeks?
During the natural ageing process the levels of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid decrease in the skin, as well as volume loss in the underlying fat pads that support the skin. Thus leading to the skin becoming thinner and less supported contributing to the formation of lines, wrinkles, skin laxity and volume loss.
As we age there are several changes that occur in the mid face. One of the most noticeable changes is volume loss, this can give the appearance that the cheeks are sunken or hollow. These changes can be attributed to a number of factors such as the decline in collagen and elastin, volume loss, repositioning and changes in the underlining fat pads all resulting in the appearance of sunken cheeks with visible lines and wrinkles.
