Flat or gaunt cheeks are a sign of ageing as the volume has started to dimmish, a plumb well positioned cheeks is youthful and attractive.<\/p>\n
Why do we have glaunt and flatter cheeks as we get older? This is because the production of collagen and elastin in our skin begins to slow and as a result, we lose facial volume. Collagen and elastin are the proteins that occur naturally in our skin to keep it plump, supple and ensure its ability to \u2018bounce back\u2019.<\/p>\n
As well as the loss of collagen impacting on the natural curves of the face, fatty tissue also decreases in the upper part of the cheeks. Although this factor contributes to the development of flat cheeks, losing volumes of natural fat in this area can also highlight the fullness beneath the eyes \u2013 creating eyebags.<\/p>\n
Other factors such as weight loss due to dieting, illness, exercise can begin to lead to gaunt or flat cheeks when the subcutaneous fat beneath the skin depletes. When considering lifestyle habits along with the effects of ageing, the speed at which collagen, elastin and moisture is lost can also accelerate.<\/p>\n
