How to Treat Sunken Cheeks in Hongdae, Seoul

Selena Skin Clinic


Restore Volume, Lift Facial Contours & Rejuvenate a Hollow Mid-Face

Sunken cheeks occur when facial fat and collagen diminish with age, stress, weight loss, or genetics. This hollowing can make the face appear tired, aged, or overly thin. Selena Skin Clinic specializes in restoring natural volume, lifting the mid-face, and bringing back youthful facial balance for global men and women.

Why Sunken Cheeks Happen

Common causes include:

  • Age-related fat loss
  • Collagen and elastin decline
  • Weight loss
  • Genetics and facial structure
  • High stress or over-exercising
  • Early aging in individuals with naturally thin faces

Sunken cheeks often create a harsher or more tired appearance—but are very treatable.
