For facial hollows and indentations, I prefer using Sculptra. It takes 2 or 3 treatments as injections, spaced 4-6 weeks apart for a full correction which lasts about 2 years. Facial shaping and contouring using fillers requires that the MD understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty.

Injectable Fillers Are Good Option for Cheek Hollows

Cheek hollows will do very nicely with injectable fillers. You will have excellent results with minimal to no downtime and minimal discomfort. In our practice, we do a lot of cheek filling with injectable liquid silicone as it is a fantastic facial filler and is permanent (saving the patient money and time). When injected with the proper technique by a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon with expertise in using silicone, LIS is an ideal filler for cheek... more

Hollow cheeks

I don't really see the hollowness in your cheeks in that picture. The best and most accurate way to fill in hollow cheeks is with your own fat. Usually, fat can be sculpted very aesthetically with a high degree of safety. It is permanent, but sometimes to get the optimal result, it may take two procedures.

Treatment options for hollow cheeks

Hollow cheeks are best treated with malar or submalar implants depending upon the level of deficiency in the cheek area. The malar and submalar implants are placed intraorally above the upper teeth and directly located over the maxilla. The submalar implants are placed lower and the malar implants are placed a little higher depending upon where the deficiencies in the cheek area are located.

Hollow cheeks

A more permanent solution is cheek implants. Fillers, although non-invasive, require a number of syringes to achieve some degree of improvement and fat transfer may need to be repeated in order to get adequate volume.

Hollow cheeks in a male

Morning Tomy. Dr. Mabrie is correct, you have several options, all great but all different. I'll just make a quick outline of your options: 1. Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm are fillers that are great because they give you volume and are very low risk. In fact, this class of filler can be melted if you wanted to modify the look or felt like was too much put in but this is almost unheard of in the cheek area. The trade off is these are more temporary,... more

Fillers like Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, or Radiesse are great options for hollow cheeks.

Fear not Tony! At 45 you are not alone with hollow cheeks. Many of my patients start to notice hollowing of the cheeks with sagging of the skin in their 30's. Fortunately, this problem is very well addressed with fillers. Fillers are placed in the cheeks, and as needed in the adjacent areas-under the eyes and the cheek bone area. It is helpful to find a doctor who performs a lot of injections and has an artistic touch. You don't want to be... more
