Cheek enhancement

The bone mass and subcutaneous tissue of the cheekbones decreases as one gets older, and the cheek then looks flatter or 'sunken'. Fillers can be used to compensate for this loss of volume and restore a natural roundness to the cheeks. Cheek enhancement with a filler is classified as a structuring treatment. More information on structuring treatments can be found here: Structuring Treatments.
