SUNKEN CHEEKS

WHAT ARE SUNKEN CHEEKS?

Sunken cheeks will often develop through ageing, lifestyle, illness or weight loss. When a person is affected by this concern they don’t often have much fatty tissue in their mid-face, which causes the cheeks to appear sucked in, flat or ‘sunken’. This concern can affect men and women, usually more so as they get older, often feeling like their appearance is older or harsher than they would like.

WHAT CAUSES SUNKEN CHEEKS?

Ageing can lead to sunken cheeks through the natural loss of volume in both the skin and underlying tissues. Smoking, along with a poor diet and alcohol consumption, can accelerate this process and enhance the effects of volume loss, leading to sunken cheeks developing earlier than preferred. Fatty deposits will also decline with age, as well as descend to the lower face, with both these aspects being key to the face losing its plump and rounded look.

Although dieting and exercising can have positive effects on your health and well-being, they will assist in the loss of subcutaneous fat in the face – particularly in the area between the cheekbones and the jaw.

Other lifestyle factors that contribute to volume loss and sunken cheeks can include: smoking, poor diet, lack of hydration, lack of sleep and environment / weather conditions.
