Concern
Flattened Cheeks
A loss of volume in the cheeks can make the face look flatter and more tired, and can affect the balance of the mid-face and the area beneath the eyes.
Restoring subtle, balanced cheek volume can lift and refresh the whole face when done thoughtfully.
Causes
What Causes Flattened Cheeks?
Cheek volume is lost gradually with age as fat pads descend and bone and collagen support reduce, leading to a flatter mid-face.
