Condition Overview
SUNKEN CHEEKS
Sunken cheeks are a common facial concern characterized by lost volume and definition in the midface area. While often associated with aging, they can also result from genetics, weight loss, or lifestyle factors, affecting facial contours and youthful appearance.
At Dermasurge, we specialize in advanced volume restoration techniques to address sunken cheeks effectively. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with tailored treatment solutions to help patients achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation and restored facial harmony.
Symptoms
- Sunken cheeks appear as hollowed or flattened areas below the cheekbones, creating shadows in the midface region.
- They often develop loss of facial volume, making the face appear tired, aged, or gaunt.
- Visible nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines may become more pronounced.
- The condition ranges from mild (slight hollowing) to severe (pronounced facial concavity with skeletal prominence).
- Skin laxity and loss of elasticity frequently accompany volume depletion in the cheeks.
- Some patients experience premature aging of facial contours even before other signs of aging appear.
causes
Sunken cheeks develop from multiple factors that disrupt facial volume distribution and collagen production. While commonly associated with aging, they can affect individuals at various life stages due to different biological processes.
Age-Related Volume Loss
As we age, fat pads in the midface diminish and collagen/elastin production decreases, causing the cheeks to lose structural support and appear hollowed.
Genetic Predisposition
Some individuals naturally have less subcutaneous fat in the cheek area or prominent facial bone structure that becomes more noticeable with volume loss.
Significant Weight Fluctuations
Rapid weight loss can deplete facial fat stores unevenly, particularly in the buccal fat pads that support cheek fullness.
Lifestyle Factors
Chronic sun exposure, smoking, and poor nutrition accelerate collagen breakdown and fat atrophy in facial tissues.
Dental/Bone Changes
Tooth loss or jawbone resorption alters facial architecture, reducing structural support for overlying soft tissues.
Professional Treatments
Dermal Fillers restore lost volume in the midface with hyaluronic acid-based formulas that provide natural-looking cheek augmentation and facial contouring.
Sculptra® stimulates collagen production over time for gradual, long-lasting improvement in cheek volume and skin quality.
Fat Transfer utilizes your body’s own fat cells for permanent volume restoration, creating natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
Thread Lifts provide immediate lifting and collagen stimulation for mild to moderate cheek sagging with minimal downtime.
RF Microneedling combines collagen induction therapy with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and improve cheek contour.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!
I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.
Couldn’t Be More Happy
Really positive experience. Beautiful building, small but well maintained and laid out spaces. Friendly, welcoming and very professional reception staff. Efficient registration. The consultation was expert, careful and thorough. Treatment effective. Plus Dr Hiba is a warm and lovely person!
Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.
