Cheeks look supple, smooth and puffy due to presence of large amount of collagen tissues in the skin. Collagen tissue helps to maintain skin elasticity and thus keep them smooth and supple. Subcutaneous fat beneath the facial skin helps to keep the face plump some of the causes are:- with growing age, there is loss of subcutaneous fat and slight amount of muscle wasting even though the bone remains intact and normal. With all the above changes in the supportive structures of the facial skin, it begins to sink and cause sunken cheeks. Besides aging there are many other factors that may be responsible for sunken cheeks. Lack of nourishment and starvation can cause loss of subcutaneous fat under the cheek as a result the cheeks begin to sink. If you do extreme exercises you are likely to lose fat from certain areas such as cheeks and thighs etc. Sunken cheeks may also occur if you do not eat enough or if you are dieting or due to dehydration. Let's discuss your concern in detail so that we can provide with the best medical plan.
