Many people with hollow or sunken cheeks often feel their face looks sharp, tired, or even older than their actual age. This condition can be caused by several factors:
Facial bone structure plays a big role. If you naturally have high cheekbones with reduced cheekbone support, the cheeks can appear hollow. As you age, collagen and fat under the skin also decrease, making the cheeks look even more sunken.
Rapid or excessive weight loss reduces fat throughout the body, including the face. This can cause cheeks to look sunken and tired, especially for those who already have a slim face structure. Without facial fat, the face lacks fullness and softness.
Filler program is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance in the body that retains moisture, keeping skin plump and elastic. In aesthetics, HA is used in a gel form that’s approved by the Thai FDA and international standards. It is biodegradable and naturally dissolves over time.
Sunken cheek filler program is a popular solution for restoring lost volume. Results are visible right after treatment as HA replaces the missing fat and tissue, making cheeks look fuller and softening prominent cheekbones.
This not only balances the face but also creates a natural, oval-shaped look. When done at a certified clinic, the procedure is safe and effective.
Cheeks look fuller right after injection. Over the next few weeks, the HA settles into place, with the best results visible in about one month.
Most HA filler programs last around 8–12 months before naturally dissolving. Longevity depends on the injection area and individual lifestyle.
The amount depends on how hollow the cheeks are and whether both sides of the face are symmetrical. On average, 2–4 CCs are commonly used, with adjustments made by the doctor for the most natural result.
Today, several high-quality filler program brands meet global safety standards such as Thai FDA, US FDA, and Europe’s EDQM.
At MEGA CLINIC, three leading brands are available for sunken cheek filler program:
Why do most clients choose Neuramis? It’s the No.1 Korean brand for face contouring, providing natural and noticeable results. The best-selling Neuramis Deep (Black Box) has a gel texture suitable for multiple facial areas, and most importantly, it offers great value for money.
Some people naturally have high cheekbones, or notice more prominent cheekbones after braces due to changes in jaw and teeth structure. Others may experience it after significant weight loss, when facial fat around the cheeks and temples disappears, making the face look hollow and the cheekbones stand out even more. In these cases, doctors may recommend sunken cheek filler programs.
While the filler program mainly restores volume to hollow cheeks, the added fullness also helps soften and balance the appearance of high cheekbones, giving the face a smoother, softer look.
Fat grafting involves liposuction, separating the fat, and re-injecting it into the cheeks. This procedure leaves small wounds and requires downtime. In the beginning, cheeks often look swollen or overly puffy, and results may take time to settle. There’s also the uncertainty of how much fat the body will retain. If too much fat is absorbed, results won’t last, and repeat treatments may be needed.
By contrast, sunken cheek filler programs are less invasive, require no surgery, and deliver visible results right away. The process is quick, convenient, and creates a naturally balanced look.
Example of cheek and temple filler programs performed together for a natural, youthful look:
According to traditional beliefs, hollow cheeks are considered less favorable, associated with struggles, lack of support, or weaker social connections.
In simple terms: fuller cheeks brighten your appearance, making you look more trustworthy and attractive.
Correcting several key points together creates a slimmer, more balanced oval face, with results that look polished and naturally beautiful.
Even though genuine HA filler programs are safe and naturally compatible with the body, the procedure must be performed by an experienced doctor at a certified clinic. Here’s a checklist to help you choose the right one:
A little preparation can help reduce the chance of bruising and speed up recovery. It’s recommended to:
Right after injection, HA has not fully settled. Pressing, massaging, or exposing the area to high heat can affect results. Follow these tips:
Other than that, you can continue your normal routine like washing your face, applying skincare, using masks, and everyday exposure to regular heat is fine.
How to avoid sunken cheeks coming back
Lifestyle changes can help, though results may not be as noticeable or fast as filler programs. Tips include:
For the most effective and reliable results, repeat sunken cheek filler injection program every 8–12 months, or whenever you start noticing hollowness again. Genuine HA is safe and can be topped up under a doctor’s supervision.
Filler programs are suitable for people with hollow or uneven cheeks, sunken areas, or those who look tired, sharp, or older than their age.
Yes. Many clients, both students and working adults, come in for the treatment while still in orthodontic treatment. If suitable, the doctor will recommend it.
No. When performed by an experienced doctor, the right filler program type and amount (in CCs) will be carefully selected and injected only where needed. The result is a naturally softer, balanced look—never overfilled.
If your hollow cheeks are caused by genetics, braces, or weight loss, filler injection program is the fastest solution to restore volume and youthfulness.
