Midface Hollowing

Midface hollowing occurs when cheek fat pads thin or descend, creating a sunken appearance below the eyes and flattening the cheek contour.

Signs

Visible under-eye hollows, flat or sunken cheeks, and deepened nasolabial folds.

Causes

Aging, fat pad descent, bone loss, genetics, and significant weight loss.

Assessment

We evaluate cheek projection, under-eye hollowing, tear trough depth, and overall facial balance.

Treatment

Cheek filler restores projection and lifts the midface. This often improves under-eye hollows and nasolabial folds simultaneously.
