cheeks
How cheeks age
Loss of fat in the skin causes grooves to appear between the nose and the mouth because the structures that held up the skin are no longer there.
The cheekbones become prominent Loss of fat in the malar region accentuates under-eye circles, emphasizing the eye socket.
Dr. Hayot's technique
A careful analysis of the fat layer of the cheek is necessary in any treatment of the grooves running from the corners of the nose to the mouth. The groove is no longer simply "filled" with an injectable product without first reconstituting the volumes in the cheek that keep the groove in check. The amount of filler is, in this way, reduced, and the result is more natural.
Malar injections require a perpendicular application and a very fine needle. The thin needle permits an injection at the level of the bone, without pain and without bruising.
