Why You Shouldn't Just Fill in a Peanut-Shaped Face with Hilo Wave

Peanut-shaped face Hilo Wave,

Why you shouldn't just fill it in

Are you concerned about prominent cheekbones and sunken cheeks?

Hello, this is Sio Clinic.

When you look in the mirror, do your forehead and jawline

appear relatively slim, but the middle section

looks noticeably wider, causing you stress?

​

Even if you have a generally thin face,

you might have prominent cheekbones,

or a contour that looks uneven due to hollow temples and cheeks.

​

​

A face shape where the contours of the mid-face are

particularly prominent compared to the overall width

of the face is called a peanut-shaped face.

​

Due to these contour concerns, more and more people

are considering the peanut-shaped face Hilo Wave procedure

as they search for natural improvement methods without surgery.

​

However, you might be wondering if simply filling in

the hollow areas is truly the right answer.

​

Today, Sio Clinic will provide a detailed explanation,

covering everything from cause analysis

to solutions and treatment planning criteria.

Peanut-shaped face: What exactly causes it?

These contour deformities are difficult to explain

with a single cause.

​

We will compare the two most common causes

in an easy-to-understand format.

​

Category

Excess Volume and Positional Changes

Volume Loss and Tissue Sagging

Primary Cause

Excessive prominence of mid-face and anterior cheek volume

Loss of temple/anterior cheek volume with age

Visual Characteristics

Slim bone structure, but mid-face appears wide

Cheekbones appear relatively prominent due to loss of support

Facial Impression Change

Face looks swollen in photos

Face looks angular, sharp, or tired

Improvement Direction

Redistribution of volume and balancing of areas

Natural volumization of deficient areas

​

As you can see, the causes of contour collapse

vary significantly from person to person.

​

​

Even with similar contour concerns,

the approach must be completely different

depending on whether the volume is excessively emphasized,

​

or conversely, the cheekbones appear prominent

due to volume loss.

​

​

Therefore, a customized design for a

peanut-shaped face with Hilo Wave, considering the overall balance,

must be prioritized.

Why choose the Hilo Wave procedure for a peanut-shaped face?

The Hilo Wave procedure for a peanut-shaped face

is a next-generation bio-stimulator program

that utilizes both high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid.

Rather than immediately creating a shape

like conventional, artificial fillers,

it focuses on improving the skin's internal environment

to be healthy.

​

Component

Main Role and Characteristics

Expected Effects

High-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid

Provides skin hydration and support immediately after treatment

Firm structural support for the dermis

Low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid

Creates an environment that stimulates collagen and elastin production

Induces natural skin regeneration

​

Simply filling in one area without consideration

can lead to an unnatural or larger-looking face.

However, the peanut-shaped face Hilo Wave

naturally complements hollow temples or anterior cheeks,

creating a smooth connection.

​

It helps create natural volume and balances

the entire face, making it a highly satisfying procedure.
