Restore Hollow or Sunken Areas With Aesthetics International
Apart from energy based devices, we recommend the use of dermal fillers to restore hollow or sunken areas on the face. This allows for restoration of areas that are affected by the loss of facial fats. In these regions, bony prominences tend to show and we can correct them to achieve the smooth contours of youth once more.
Understand your facial contours better today with a consult with us before proceeding with any treatment is imperative, such that you can obtain the best result.
How Facial Hollowing Occurs
A sunken, hollowed face, often called facial volume loss, is characterized by losing fat and volume in specific facial areas, leading to a gaunt and tired appearance. This is also characterized by prominent bony prominences and sagging facial regions, typically over the nasolabial fold and jowls. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon:
- Aging: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, critical components for maintaining skin’s suppleness, decreases. Coupled with loss of deep facial fat pads and resorption of bone which grant support to the face, this results in the loss of facial volume and the development of hollowed regions and overtly prominent bony prominences.
- Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have less facial fat, making them more prone to sunken and hollowed cheeks.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive sun exposure, and poor dietary habits can accelerate the aging process, causing the face to appear sunken and hollow.
What Points Towards Facial Aging?
The symptoms of a sunken, hollowed face may include:
- Sagging jowls and nasolabial fold.
- Deepened facial lines and wrinkles.
- Sunken or hollowed appearance in the temples and eyes.
- Loss of youthful facial volume.
- Deep tear trough under the eyes.
- Shift of apex of youth to lower facial zone.
- Decreased elasticity and firmness in the skin.
Which Facial Regions Are Affected In Asians?
The sunken hollowed face primarily affects specific facial regions:
- Cheeks: The cheekbones are one of the most commonly affected areas, losing their youthful plumpness and resulting in a sunken or sagging appearance, especially concentrated at the nasolabial fold and jowls.
- Under-Eye Area: Hollowing in the under-eye area often leads to the formation of dark circles and deep tear troughs beneath the eyes.
- Temporal Area: The temples can experience volume loss, causing the face to appear narrower and more aged, with prominent bony prominences over the eyebrow.
Can Sunken And Hollowed Regions Be Reversed Without Surgery?
Yes, the good news is non-surgical methods can help by giving volume to a sunken, hollowed face. These include:
- Advanced Dermal Fillers: Injectable advanced dermal fillers, such as Radiesse or Ellanse, can restore lost volume and stimulate collagen production to improve the temples, forehead, cheeks, and under-eye areas.
- BTX : BTX injections minimize wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing facial muscles.
- RF Microneedling: Microneedling with radiofrequency can stimulate collagen production, making the skin firmer and youthful.
- Time Freeze Laser Treatment: Time Freeze Laser Treatment can help rejuvenate the skin and improve its elasticity.
- 4K Body Lift: Specific facial sagging regions such as the jowls or nasolabial folds can be targeted by 4K Body Lift. 4K Body Lift uses radiofrequency energy to allow these areas that have accumulated excess fat pouches to metabolise faster, giving a more contoured appearance, whilst improving skin at the same time.
- Lifestyle Changes: A healthy diet, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and protecting your skin from the sun can contribute to a healthier, more youthful appearance.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by improving volume when injected into the affected areas. This procedure instantly restores volume, plumps the skin, and smooths out wrinkles. The results are immediate and can last from several months to up to a year, depending on the specific product used. Advanced dermal fillers can last up to 2 years or more.
Choosing Advanced Dermal Filler Treatment
The process typically includes the following steps:
- Thorough facial assessment to discuss their concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Numbing cream can be applied prior to treatment. Thereafter, a fine needle injects the dermal filler into the targeted areas during the procedure. Patients often experience minimal discomfort.
- The results are immediate, providing a natural and youthful appearance. No downtime allows patients to return to their daily activities right after the treatment.

Seen Other Clinics And Doctors?
Most of the patients that see us are just like you and have seen other clinics and doctors. Some may have been advised to place fillers on the nasolabial fold area to lessen it. This ultimately makes the lower face more bulky, and less aesthetic, especially in Asian ladies. We seek to generate an area specific lifting with Advanced Dermal Fillers where the risk of migration and consistency is more well controlled than that of hyaluronic acid fillers. Find out from him how lifting techniques which are non invasive, can even lessen the need to fill the areas.
This result has interindividual variation and is best to have a consultation with US before proceeding with any treatment.
