Sunken Cheeks: Tips for Facial Rejuvenation to Youthfulness

In today's world, where self-care and appearance are paramount, many people are concerned about and actively seeking solutions for “sunken cheeks.” This issue often makes the face look worn out, tired, and older than one's actual age. While sunken cheeks are a natural occurrence that can happen with increasing age, reduced facial fat, or bone structure, it's not an unfixable problem.

At UR Clinic Korat, we deeply understand this concern and are ready to be part of your journey to resolve sunken cheeks, helping your face regain its fullness, radiance, and youthful appearance. With our unique expertise in rhytidectomy (facelift surgery), we can naturally and safely transform your face.

What causes sunken cheeks?

Before we discuss solutions, let's first understand the main causes of sunken cheeks:

Aging: As we age, collagen and elastin in the skin decrease, leading to skin laxity and a reduction in subcutaneous fat. This results in the cheeks appearing more sunken.
Rapid Weight Loss: Losing weight too quickly can also lead to a reduction in facial fat, causing the cheeks to become sunken and appear gaunt.
Facial Bone Structure: Some individuals may naturally have a higher cheekbone structure or a narrower jawbone, which can make the face appear sunken by default.
Genetics: The issue of sunken cheeks can be a hereditary trait passed down from family members.
Lifestyle Habits: Insufficient rest, stress, smoking, or alcohol consumption can all contribute to a tired-looking face and sunken cheeks.

How to solve the problem of sunken cheeks?

At UR Clinic Korat, we specialize in facelift surgery techniques, which are one of the most effective methods for resolving sunken cheeks and restoring youthfulness to the face. Facelift is not merely about tightening the skin; it also involves adjusting the structure of the muscle and fat layers beneath the skin to achieve natural and lasting results.

The techniques we use to address sunken cheeks in conjunction with a facelift include:

Fat Repositioning: For those with significant facial fat loss leading to sunken cheeks, we can utilize a technique of repositioning existing fat from other areas of the face to fill in the hollowed cheek areas. This helps to naturally restore fullness to the cheeks.
Fat Grafting: In some cases, if there isn't sufficient fat on the face, we may consider liposuction from other parts of the body, such as the thighs or abdomen. This fat is then processed and reinjected into the sunken cheek areas to add volume and make the cheeks appear fuller.
Mid-Face Lift: This technique helps to lift and tighten the skin and muscles in the cheekbone and upper cheek area, which are often the parts that sag and make the cheeks appear sunken. The result is a more lifted face, fuller cheeks, and shallower nasolabial folds.
