Gaunt or hollow cheeks are a concern that gives the illusion of an unhealthy or aged look to the face. They can create a sunken appearance that accentuates hollowness of the eyes and can pull down on the cheeks to create deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines and even jowls. Gaunt cheeks may simply be a part of genetic makeup whereby they lack in natural shape and definition, or they can present as a sign of ageing as the skin and fatty tissue beneath loses volume and its structure diminishes causing skin to sag.
For many, the face would most desirably appear full, with volume high at the cheekbones achieving natural definition for a refreshed and youthful look that feels lifted, healthy and firm. However, when presented with gaunt cheeks, the face can often seem unbalanced and features appear disproportionate to one another.
In order to restore volume to the cheeks, creating lift, structure and definition throughout the face, a choice or combination of many techniques can be used. Dermal filler treatments are an excellent choice to shape and sculpt the cheeks by adding high-density product to mimic the appearance of bone in balance with the profile as a whole. PDO thread lift treatments are equally as effective in creating lift by anchoring suture threads within the skin for a firm, taut and rejuvenated appearance, alleviating the sagging skin that causes a hollow or depressed look to the face. Profhilo is treatment whereby overall skin health and hydration is improved and subtle volume is created by stimulating collagen production from within the skin so as to carefully plump the cheeks. These treatments all involve little to no downtime and are minimally invasive, with initial results seen immediately.
Cheek Enhancement is a treatment used to achieve fullness and a fresh and healthy look upon the mid to upper areas of the face. Using a high-velocity hyaluronic acid filler that is of a denser consistency to that more commonly used in popular treatments such as lip enhancement, we can create contour, definition and volume in order to restore balance and structure that is often lost with age.
Midface Threadlift. The cheeks contours have long been accepted as feature of youth. Over time, the soft tissue of the cheeks can migrate or become deflated. This can create a hollowness to the midface and sagging of the overlying skin. In the majority of cases this can be treated by re-aligning the sagging skin and transposing it back the high points of the cheeks to restore a youthful appearance. The best alternative to surgery to achieve this this is PDO, or polydiaxanone, Thread lifts. This innovative technique used in aesthetics will lift the soft tissue and stimulate an increase in collagen production in order to target sagging skin and is a great alternative to a face-lift.
Profhilo is an innovative skin remodelling treatment that works to restore skin laxity and texture by stimulating collagen and elastin production to unearth a naturally refreshed and youthful glow. It is highly accomplished in treating not only the face, but also the neck, décolletage, hands and even the arms, knees and abdomen where skin lacks firmness.
Dr Saleki is the sweetest and most professional Dr ever! I was really nervous and she completely put me at ease for my fox eye thread lift!
I was a bit nervous, Dr Mahsa was lovely, she couldn’t of been more professional and kind. I had nose threads and the procedure was quick and apart from a bit of discomfort with the anaesthetic, the rest was totally pain free. I am 3 days post treatment and still a bit swollen but other than that everything has been very smooth and I feel fine. I’m excited to see the settled results. Would I recommend, 100% yes.
First time I every had any treatment and it was a brilliant experience, The Dr was very Calm and compassionate and clear. I read about a treatment threading but she said I didn’t need it and suggested fillers and fat dissolving which has work for me, definitely go again even though it took me over 2hours to get there.
