Quick answer
How is hollow cheeks filler done?
Hollow cheeks filler places hyaluronic acid filler in the sunken area below the cheekbone(the submalar hollow), usually with a blunt cannula, to smooth shadows that can make the face look tired, gaunt or older than you are.
Hollowing often follows weight loss, intense exercise or ageing. When the area needs gradual, broader support, the doctor may suggest a collagen stimulator such as Juvelook or Sculptra instead of, or alongside, HA filler.

FAQ
Hollow cheeks filler questions
Is hollow cheek filler different from cheek filler?
Yes. Cheek filler lifts the cheekbone area; hollow cheek filler smooths the dip below it. Many patients need a little of both for balance.
Will it look puffy?
When layered thinly with a cannula it should not. Undercorrection with a later top-up is safer than overfilling.
What about fat grafting?
Fat grafting is a surgical option. Fillers and collagen stimulators are non-surgical and need no recovery time.
How long does it last?
Usually 9–15 months with HA filler, and collagen stimulators can last longer.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
