The Truth and Myths About Cheek Hollowing After Vero Lifting

Hello.

I’m Dr. Daram from UNNI Clinic Hongdae Sinchon.

"What if my cheeks end up looking hollowed or sunken after a lifting procedure?"

As interest in V-line lifting procedures has recently increased, more people have also been asking about Vero Lifting.

However, there is one concern that many people considering lifting procedures commonly share.

That is concern about cheek hollowing.

Especially if you have come across keywords like “cheek hollowing” in online reviews, you may have hesitated even more about the procedure.

It is only natural to worry that a treatment received for anti-aging might make you look even older.

So today, while explaining the principles and effects of Vero Lifting in detail, I’d also like to address the myths and truths about cheek hollowing.

If you read this post to the end, your questions about cheek hollowing after Vero Lifting should be resolved.

Please stay with me a little longer.

Vero Lifting Cheek Hollowing Principles and Effects

Vero Lifting is a non-surgical procedure that can provide combined lifting and tightening effects by using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy and radiofrequency (RF) energy at the same time.

You can think of it as similar to a treatment that combines the benefits of Ultherapy (HIFU), which induces lifting effects, and Thermage (RF), which improves skin elasticity.

Vero Lifting delivers these two types of energy in an alternating way,

allowing for a synergistic effect that can address both improved skin surface elasticity and lifting of the deeper fascial layer at the same time.

That is why many people seek this procedure when they want to lift sagging facial lines and make the jawline and facial contours more defined.

Vero Lifting Cheek Hollowing Causes and Misconceptions

When searching for lifting procedures, you often come across posts worrying about side effects called “cheek hollowing.”

However, such side effects are often caused not by the procedure itself, but by an incorrect diagnosis or a lack of skill on the part of the provider.

Skin thickness, fat distribution, and elasticity vary from person to person.

However, if the treatment depth or energy level is not properly adjusted without considering an individual’s skin condition and anatomical structure, cheek hollowing can occur.

In particular, when strong energy is delivered to people with little cheek fat or thin skin,

fat cells may shrink due to heat stimulation, which can lead to sunken cheeks (cheek hollowing).

The risk of cheek hollowing may also increase when treatment is applied strongly to areas where hollowness tends to occur anatomically, such as below the cheekbones or around the mouth.

Vero Lifting Cheek Hollowing How Can It Be Reduced?

Vero Lifting is a combined energy device that uses high-intensity ultrasound and radiofrequency together.

It has the advantage of delivering strong stimulation deep into the skin, but in some cases it can lead to a reduction in volume in the cheek area.

In particular, if ultrasound energy is delivered excessively to areas with a thin fat layer or already sunken areas, the volume in that area may appear even more diminished.

If an experienced medical professional precisely sets the treatment area and adjusts the intensity, these side effects can be minimized.

Therefore, before the procedure, it is important to receive an accurate diagnosis of your skin condition, including skin thickness, fat distribution, elasticity, and facial contour lines,

and to adjust the treatment area and intensity after sufficient consultation with the medical staff.

For additional personal care, we recommend avoiding saunas, hot baths, excessive exercise, drinking alcohol, peeling procedures, and the use of scrub products for about one week.

You may have had many questions about cheek hollowing after Vero Lifting.

Today, I explained Vero Lifting, the causes of cheek hollowing, and ways to minimize it.

As mentioned above, the most important thing in reducing cheek hollowing during a lifting procedure is

to create a customized treatment plan that fits your skin condition through sufficient consultation with the medical staff before the procedure.

So if you are worried, I recommend speaking directly with a specialist rather than relying on information found online.
