A case in a patient's fifties — three sessions of Juvelook Volume filling hollowed front and side cheeks, and why lifting should accompany it.
Hollowed front and side cheeks with age — recovering a smooth line with Juvelook Volume
Hello. This is Dr. Lee Yumin, medical director of MeSOnBom Clinic in Hongdae.
It is a fine season for a weekend walk with music.
When I am outdoors I block UV light thoroughly, with a hat, a light sun shade and sunglasses.
I always emphasise physical sun protection in clinic and in writing — using a shade as I do gives you better protection.
Today I want to talk about loss of facial volume and improving the line, through a real before-and-after case with one of our own skincare practitioners.
Our practitioner has just turned fifty this year.
With a naturally slim build, her face also lacked fullness.
With age, facial fat is naturally lost and skin firmness declines, so the skin begins to feel as though it hangs without support.
As a result the once-full front cheek hollows and the side cheek sinks, so the facial line becomes uneven rather than smooth.
That irregularity of contour was her main concern.
At the design stage, the focus was on filling the lost volume to soften the contours of the face.
We designed carefully so that enough Juvelook Volume could be placed in the deeply hollowed front cheek and the sunken side cheek.
After three sessions the change was clear.
The greatest change was in the line. From both the side and the front, the front cheek that had looked shadowed filled out gently, and the side cheek line that had given a peanut shape softened considerably.
As volume filled the hollows naturally, the overall impression became younger and more alive.
Meeting many patients, I often hear that the face looks gaunt with age even without any change in weight.
Juvelook Volume is an excellent solution for the following concerns.
Those who look older because facial fat has been lost with age
Those with shadowing where particular areas — the front or side cheek — have hollowed
Those whose facial line has become uneven through fat loss and reduced firmness
Those who want natural volume rather than the artificial feel of filler
For those with little facial tissue and reduced firmness, I recommend combining it with a lifting treatment rather than Juvelook Volume alone.
Drawing sagging skin upward while filling the empty areas with volume tidies the facial line considerably and creates a synergy that looks younger.
Of course, no treatment returns you magically to the taut, smooth face of your twenties.
The realistic goal is to recover the most natural and graceful contour available at your current age.
If hollowed cheeks and an uneven facial line have been causing you stress in the mirror, Juvelook Volume is worth considering.
Thank you for reading to the end.
Our medical team will advise you based on your skin condition.
