Sunken cheeks and sunken face are conditions in which the cheeks sink into a small depression on the face. The problem of sunken cheeks not only makes the face look worn out, dull and older than one’s age, but also makes the face square and the cheekbones prominent, causing many people to lose confidence in the end. In fact, the problem of sunken cheeks is caused by changes in the facial structure, both in terms of bone shape and fat layer. The causes of sunken cheeks that are commonly found are as follows:
