What is cheek filler and what does it help with?
Cheek filler (Sunken Cheek Filler or Hollow Cheek Filler) is an injection of hyaluronic acid into the mid-cheek area that appears sunken or hollow. This condition can make the face look tired, harsh, and older.
Cheek filler helps restore volume, making the face look fuller, softer, and more youthful. It also improves facial symmetry in cases of uneven cheeks. Additionally, it can correct hollow or slightly asymmetrical features without surgery, with immediate results and no downtime.
What causes sunken or uneven cheeks?
Genetics:
Some people naturally have asymmetrical facial structures. While this is normal, sunken or uneven cheeks may become more noticeable with age or weight loss.
Aging and collagen loss
As we age, collagen production and facial fat decrease, causing the mid-cheek area to lose volume. This makes the face appear flatter, tired, and less vibrant.
Rapid weight loss
Losing weight too quickly reduces fat throughout the body, including the face, leading to hollow or flat cheeks and a fatigued appearance.
Muscle or bone structure asymmetry
In some cases, differences in muscle strength or bone structure between the left and right sides of the face can cause visible imbalance, such as one cheek appearing lower or more sunken.
Can cheek filler correct uneven cheeks?
Step 1: Detailed facial assessment by a doctor
Before treatment, the doctor evaluates the face in 3D, considering skin condition, fat volume, depth of hollowness, and the degree of asymmetry. This helps determine the appropriate amount of filler for each side and the most suitable injection technique to achieve natural and safe results.

How filler works and when results appear
Filler is hyaluronic acid (HA) in a gel form, naturally found in the skin. It retains moisture and enhances hydration. When injected, HA fills in hollow areas and strengthens skin structure.
After injection, the face looks fuller immediately. Deep folds and prominent cheekbones appear smoother, creating a softer and more balanced look—especially in cases of uneven cheeks. HA typically settles smoothly into the skin within 4 weeks.
Who is suitable for cheek filler?
- Individuals with sunken cheeks due to genetics or aging
- Those with one side of the face appearing more hollow or uneven
- Those who want a softer, more youthful appearance without surgery
- Individuals who lost weight and feel their face looks too hollow or gaunt
- Those with mild facial asymmetry due to bone structure
Where is the injection done and how many cc are needed?
The injection is focused on the mid-cheek area, below the eyes and around the cheekbones. HA is placed strategically to restore volume and balance.
Typically, 1–2 cc per side is used, depending on the depth of hollowness and facial structure. In cases of asymmetry, different amounts may be used on each side for better balance.
Which filler brand is suitable for cheek filler?
For safe and natural-looking results, doctors often choose fillers with firm, stable texture that can hold shape and provide good lifting support.
One popular option is Neuramis Deep (black box) from Korea.

How long do results last?
Results from Neuramis Deep typically last around 8–12 months before gradually dissolving naturally. Duration varies depending on individual factors such as lifestyle, self-care, and injection area.
Maintenance injections can be done when the filler starts to break down or when hollowness becomes noticeable again.
