If Cheek Hollowness is Severe, Can't I Get Ultherapy?

We Need to Address the Cause First

"I have severe cheek hollowness, so can't I get Ultherapy?"

​

1. Different Causes of Cheek Hollowness

Many people are upset by their sunken cheeks when they look in the mirror.

​

When shadows form with every expression,

and you're told you look tired,

it's bound to be a concern.

ㅤ

However, just because the cheeks look sunken doesn't mean

the underlying causes are all the same.

ㅤ

​

Some people may have naturally insufficient facial volume

or their fat layer may have decreased due to aging,

making the area appear hollow.

ㅤ

On the other hand, some individuals may have adequate overall facial volume

or fat,

​

but due to decreased elasticity in the surrounding areas, gravity causes sagging,

making certain areas appear relatively deeper and darker.

ㅤ

​

Of course, it's also common for these two issues

to be complexly intertwined.

ㅤ

Therefore, having a little cheek hollowness doesn't mean

you absolutely have to avoid treatment.

​

Understanding the anatomical structure of your face

and the elasticity of your fat and fascia

is the most important priority.ㅤ

2. What's More Important Than Just Filling

ㅤIf a lack of actual volume

is the core cause of cheek hollowness,

then supplementing the volume in the sunken areas

can naturally be an appropriate choice.

ㅤ

​

However, with current trends,

many people feel burdened by overfilling their faces.

​

Many people shy away from fillers or other filling procedures

due to concerns about an unnatural look, or future discomfort or nodules.

ㅤ

So, conversely,

if the cause that makes the cheek hollowness look particularly severe

is 'sagging', the story changes completely.

ㅤ

​

When the skin and tissues sag downwards

due to aging or loss of elasticity,

it's as if the support lines around the sunken area collapse,

making it visually appear much deeper and shadowed.

ㅤ

At this point, if you tighten the sagging

and smooth out the surrounding contours,

even without directly filling the hollowed area,

the cheek hollowness may appear less prominent.

​

This is why, after treatment,

some faces look more natural and

refined in terms of cheek hollowness.

ㅤ

3. Criteria for Choosing the Right Method for Your Face

ㅤ

Ultimately, the most important core is

this:

ㅤ

Instead of being trapped in the simple formula

"It's impossible because I have cheek hollowness,"

​

it's about meticulously examining

"Why do my cheeks look so hollow?"

and its fundamental cause.

ㅤ

​

Depending on whether the problem is a lack of volume

or a visual illusion created by loss of elasticity and sagging,

the approach must be 180 degrees different.

ㅤ

And then, choose the wise method that perfectly matches the cause!

​

Rather than simply following methods that others recommend,

you can achieve results you won't regret only by comprehensively considering

your face's skin thickness, fat distribution,

and even muscle movement.

ㅤ

​

Today, for those who hesitate

due to concerns about cheek hollowness,

we have detailed the criteria for three-dimensionally assessing the cause.

ㅤ

Rather than drawing a line and saying it's impossible,

we recommend deciding on a direction after thoroughly examining

your face's bone structure and elasticity,

and choosing a place that explains the reasons step by step.

​

​

While achieving dramatic changes is important,

it is more important to preserve the natural texture of your face

and find harmonious results.

Thank you^^
