Our face shape can tell a lot about us. Some people feel unhappy with their cheeks. If you have chubby cheeks, weight loss or Fat-dissolving injections can help. But for those with a flat face who want a younger look, gaining weight might add volume, but the fat may go to other parts of the body instead, which may not give the result you want.
In this article, I’ll introduce cheek filler, a solution for those who want a plumper, youthful look without gaining unnecessary weight. But first, let’s understand what causes a flat face.
Why does a face look flat and lack dimension?
- Bone structure loss: Our bones go through a process called bone remodeling, where old bone is removed, and new bone is created. But as we age, bone loss happens faster than bone growth, making the cheekbones, jawline, and eye sockets shrink. This leads to a flatter face with less definition.
- Lifestyle habits: Rapid weight loss, intense exercise, and lack of sleep can make the face look hollow and tired. When fat in the cheeks decreases, the face loses its youthful plumpness, leading to sagging skin and a dull appearance.
- Aging: As we age, collagen in the skin decreases. This weakens the structure that holds cheek fat in place, causing the cheeks to sag and the face to look flat.
- Genetics: Some people naturally have a flat facial structure due to genetics. This includes lower cheekbones, shallow eye sockets, or less fat under the skin. Since this is inherited, it cannot be changed naturally.
A flat face is normal and common. However, if it makes you feel unhappy, cheek filler is a non-surgical option to enhance facial balance, add volume, and give a youthful look.
How can cheek filler help?
- For a youthful look: Full, plump cheeks are a key sign of youth. Adding volume to this area makes the face look fresher and younger.
- For better facial definition: A well-contoured face looks more lively, attractive, and youthful. Adding volume in the right areas also enhances confidence and makes your features stand out.
- For good fortune (Feng Shui beliefs): In Feng Shui, high cheekbones or full cheeks are believed to bring wealth and success. On the other hand, a flat face or sunken cheeks might be linked to less authority or prosperity.
Don’t want a flat face? Cheek filler can fix it!
Cheek filler, also called “apple cheek filler,” is an injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) into the cheek area. This substance naturally exists in the body and helps hold moisture and support collagen in the skin.
As we age, HA levels in the skin decrease, causing flat or hollow cheeks. Filler restores lost volume, making the cheeks rounder, fuller, and plumper—like an apple, which is why it’s called "apple cheek filler."
Fix an aging face with full cheek rejuvenation – Cheeks, under-eyes, and smile lines
As we enter our 30s, sagging skin becomes a common issue, especially for those who are too busy to care for their skin. Here are filler treatments that work well with cheek filler to refresh the face and restore a youthful look.
Under-eye filler: Sunken under-eyes happen due to bone loss around the eye socket and a decrease in facial fat as we age. Other causes include lack of sleep, stress, dehydration, and collagen loss. Under-eye filler is a quick and effective way to brighten and smooth this area.
Smile line filler: As we age, skin loses elasticity, and the once-tight cheek skin starts to sag, creating deep lines around the mouth (smile lines).
Injecting filler into the smile lines lifts the area and smooths out wrinkles.
Hollow cheek filler: Sunken cheeks can make the face look tired and older. Adding filler to this area restores plumpness, making the face look healthier, rounder, and more youthful.
What results can you expect from cheek filler?
Cheek filler provides instant results. After the treatment, the cheeks look plumper, and the face gains more definition.
Filler has a water-retaining effect and settles fully within one month. The results last between 8-12 months before naturally dissolving. However, this duration may vary based on individual metabolism and lifestyle habits.
