Flat Cheeks
What is it?
This is when your cheeks are flat with not much definition between your cheeks and lower face.
Why does it happen?
It can be genetic as some people have a very flat maxilla (facial bone under the eye area) or as a result of ageing as there are certain pockets of fat in the cheek that lose volume with time.
Treatment Options
Midface/Chin Fillers
For Flat Cheeks
To improve the structural support for your face. This can also be done as part of Full Face Balancing when we assess your whole face and distribute small amounts of filler all over. Fillers are by far the most effective treatment for this.
Morpheus 8
For Flat Cheeks
This is radiofrequency with microneedling and can help tighten the skin and shrink fat cells, resulting in a more defined jawline. It is best to do Morpheus 8 before fillers as it can potentially dissolve fillers quicker. It also means you will require less filler and it will sit better when the skin is tighter.
Forma
For Flat Cheeks
This is radiofrequency without microneedling, which is less invasive than Morpheus 8 and therefore has less downtime. It transmits energy to the tissues under the skin and causes a tightening effect to the skin and deeper layers.
