What are sunken cheeks?
Sunken cheeks, depressed cheeks or hollow cheeks are just another example of how our facial features age. Sunken cheeks are most commonly associated with ageing. Over time, you start to lose fat volume within the face. You develop sunken cheeks when there is limited tissue between the mandible and the zygoma. This is the bony arch located underneath the eye.
It is common for patients with sunken cheeks to also experience more prominent jowls, deeper nose-to-mouth lines, and a general loss in facial smoothness.
Although age is a major cause of sunken cheeks there are several other things which may result in this condition.
