Hello.
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Cho, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
"My face looks so gaunt and hollow."
It's not that you've lost weight or that your skin is severely sagging,
so why does your impression look different?
Before considering front cheek fillers in Uijeongbu,
understanding why the cheeks appear hollow
makes it much clearer which approach is correct.
Hollow cheeks are not just a skin problem.
Facial volume is a structure supported by fat, collagen,
and ligament tissues beneath the skin.
As we age, these structures
gradually thin out and sag.
In particular, when the fat pads under the front cheeks diminish,
shadows form under the cheekbones,
and the face begins to look flat.
Just as an old sponge loses its resilience and flattens,
areas where the fat layer has thinned
change into a shape where the skin is pulled inward.
This is why topical products struggle to be effective.
It is a structural issue, not a surface one.
How does front cheek filler in Uijeongbu work?
Front cheek filler in Uijeongbu works by injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the front cheek tissue
to supplement the lost volume.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in our bodies,
and because it attracts moisture,
it creates a firm and natural volume after injection.
The procedure is performed with injections only, without surgery,
and the short procedure time allows for a return to daily life on the same day.
For cheek fillers, the design changes the result.
Even if the same substance is injected into the same area,
the outcome varies depending on how it is designed.
The front cheek is an area that moves every time you make an expression.
👉Because it must move naturally when speaking or smiling,
selecting a formulation that considers elasticity and viscosity is crucial.
Furthermore, if a large amount is injected into a layer that is too shallow,
the filler may become visible through the surface
or feel uneven.
Rather than injecting a large amount all at once,
starting with an appropriate amount to observe changes
and adjusting with a touch-up if necessary
is advantageous for reducing unnatural results.
Realistically expected changes
Some experience the softening of shadows under the cheekbones and the creation of facial dimension.
However, rather than completely filling a severely hollow state all at once,
a step-by-step approach is more natural.
The duration of the effect varies depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle habits,
and is generally known to range from several months to over a year.
If you are unsatisfied with the results of hyaluronic acid fillers
or if adjustments are needed, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
However, since it is closer to the concept of adjustment rather than returning exactly to the original form,
it is important to be careful with the initial design.
This is an option for those who:
Have a dark impression due to hollow areas under the cheekbones
Notice their face looking flat without any weight changes
Want to naturally supplement volume without surgery
For those considering front cheek fillers in Uijeongbu
or the surrounding areas, this serves as an excellent option.
If there is inflammation or infection at the treatment site,
if there is a history of allergic reactions to filler components,
or if you are pregnant or taking specific medications,
consultation is required before the procedure.
⚠️ Precautions
Before the procedure, please reduce the intake of substances that thin the blood,
such as aspirin, omega-3, and vitamin E, a few days in advance.
This can help minimize bruising or swelling.
On the day of the procedure, please avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol,
and visits to saunas or steam rooms.
It is also best to refrain from pressing firmly on
or massaging the treated area.
Swelling usually subsides within a few days,
and the final results are best assessed after 1 to 2 weeks.
If the treated area suddenly becomes pale
or if severe pain occurs, please visit the clinic immediately.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much front cheek filler should be injected at once in Uijeongbu?
There is no fixed standard amount.
The design is made after assessing the degree of cheek hollowness and overall facial proportions.
We recommend starting with a conservative amount
and adjusting with a touch-up if necessary.
Q. Will my smile look awkward after getting cheek fillers?
Since we incorporate elasticity and viscosity that consider facial expressions
into the design phase,
we approach the procedure so that it moves naturally.
However, it may feel unfamiliar at first,
but in many cases, you will naturally adjust over time.
Q. How can I tell if my front cheeks are hollow or if there is too much fat?
If only the area under the cheekbones looks selectively hollow
or if facial dimension has decreased compared to old photos, it is likely a loss of volume.
If the area is generally thick and lacks elasticity, a different approach may be appropriate.
We will provide guidance after a physical examination during your visit.
Q. Will there be severe bruising or swelling after front cheek filler?
As it is an injection procedure, temporary bruising or swelling may occur.
Most cases subside naturally within a few days.
If you have an important schedule, we recommend receiving the procedure at least one week in advance.
Q. Can I receive it along with other procedures?
In some cases, it can be combined with other treatments such as lifting or Botox on the same day.
We will guide you on which combination is right for your current condition after an examination.
The appearance of hollow cheeks
is a structural issue that is difficult to resolve with skin care alone.
Front cheek filler in Uijeongbu directly addresses the lost volume,
serving as an option to restore facial dimension without surgery.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch, we personally examine the condition of your cheeks
and provide honest guidance on the best direction for your situation.
