Sunken Face Treatments in Singapore: 

Causes, Options & Long-Lasting Solutions

Facial volume loss, or a "sunken face," is one of the most visible signs of aging and facial fatigue. It’s far more common than most realize. As we age, our fat pads shrink, bone density reduces, and collagen production declines—resulting in hollow temples, sunken cheeks, and a gaunt appearance. Globally, demand for facial volume restoration has soared. According to a market research report by Grand View Research, the dermal filler market alone is projected to reach over USD 9.6 billion by 2030, driven by demand for anti-aging treatments, especially volume restoration.

In Singapore, sunken face treatments have become one of the most requested aesthetic procedures for both men and women in their 30s to 60s. With minimally invasive options like dermal fillers and collagen biostimulators now available, patients can restore volume, enhance skin texture, and lift sagging areas—without the downtime of surgery.

What Causes a Sunken Face?

A sunken or hollow appearance can be caused by several factors:

Aging

With age, the facial skeleton remodels, fat compartments shrink and shift, and collagen and elastin degrade. This results in a loss of support and volume.

Weight Loss

Rapid or significant weight loss can reduce subcutaneous fat, especially in the cheeks and temples.

Genetics

Some people naturally have less facial fat, leading to an earlier onset of a hollow appearance.

Illness or Stress

Chronic illness, stress, or poor nutrition can accelerate facial volume loss.

Lifestyle Factors

Smoking, excessive sun exposure, and lack of sleep contribute to premature collagen breakdown and fat loss.

Areas Commonly Affected by Volume Loss

Areas Commonly Affected by Volume Loss
sunken-forehead

Sunken Forehead

Often overlooked, the forehead can become concave with age, contributing to a tired appearance. Strategic filling creates a smoother, more harmonious facial profile.
sunken-temple

Sunken Temple

Hollow temples create a skeletal look and contribute to a loss of facial balance. Restoring volume in this area softens the face and enhances youthfulness.
sunken-cheek

Sunken Cheeks 
(Mid and Outer Cheeks)

Volume loss here leads to sagging, deep nasolabial folds, and jowls. Treating this area lifts the mid-face and restores contour.

Choosing the Right Fillers for a Sunken Face

There are two main categories of fillers used to address volume loss: HA (hyaluronic acid) fillers and collagen biostimulators.
Each has its strengths and is selected based on treatment goals, patient preference, and skin condition.

These are cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels that attract water and add volume immediately upon injection.

  • Longevity: Lasts up to 18 months

Advantages: Cost-effective, provides immediate lift and structural support, reversible with hyaluronidase (Hylase)
Disadvantages: Overfilling can lead to puffiness, especially in delicate areas. Requires skilled administration and conservative dosing.

2. Collagen Biostimulators

These stimulate your body to produce its own collagen over time, providing a natural, gradual volumizing effect.

a) PDLLA Fillers

  • Works by stimulating fibroblasts to regenerate type I and III collagen.
  • Preferred over PLLA due to lower risk of nodules and fibrosis.

Advantages: Natural-looking, skin quality improves, ideal for subtle volumization.
Disadvantages: Slower onset, less volumizing than HA, not reversible.

b) CaHA Fillers

  • Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in gel.
  • Stimulates type III collagen and elastin synthesis (per studies in J Drugs Dermatol, PMID: 19046753).

Advantages: Immediate volumizing + collagen production, good for contouring, brightening effect on skin.
Disadvantages: Shorter duration than PDLLA (typically 12–18 months).

c) PCL Fillers

  • Polycaprolactone microspheres stimulate deep collagen remodeling.

Advantages: Distinct, dramatic volumization. Ideal for patients wanting to look visibly different.
Disadvantages: Requires precise technique; not suitable for beginners.

Filler Techniques for Natural and Lasting Results

Success with fillers is not only about product choice but also technique. At Ozhean Zoey, we believe in anatomical precision, safety, and artistry.

Injection Planes:

  • Deep Fat Pads: For structural lift and support.
  • Periosteal Plane (Bone Level): To mimic bone volume loss in mid-face and forehead.

Tools & Techniques:

  • Needle Injection: Ideal for deep placement and precise ligament anchoring.
  • Cannula Technique: For fanning product in large areas while minimizing bruising.

The Lady Heart Technique

A Korean technique that restores a youthful heart-shaped face by addressing the mid- and lower face. Fillers are placed to enhance cheekbones, lift jowls, and improve facial contour.

FAQS

PCL Filler is suitable for individuals experiencing volume loss in the face due to ageing, weight loss, or other factors. It is ideal for those looking for a longer-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation. This treatment is especially beneficial for people with a sunken or hollow appearance in areas such as the cheeks, temples or under-eye region.

As PCL Filler is a collagen stimulator, it provides an immediate filling effect while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production once it is injected into the skin. Over time, this leads to long-lasting volume restoration and skin firmness, improving the overall facial structure and contour.

HA fillers are suitable for individuals looking to address moderate to severe volume loss in the face. It is ideal for those who prefer non-surgical, temporary options to restore facial volume, particularly in the cheeks, under the eyes and other areas that appear sunken. HA fillers are also a great option for individuals seeking a subtle, immediate improvement with minimal downtime.

HA provides an instant volumising effect by attracting water molecules to the treated areas, filling in hollow regions and smoothing out facial contours. As it is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, it is highly biocompatible.

Most patients find the procedure to be comfortable. A topical numbing cream will be applied before the injections to minimise discomfort. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections, but the process is designed to be as painless as possible.

Results from Dermal Fillers are usually immediate. You tend to notice fuller, plumper skin right after the procedure, with final results visible once any initial swelling subsides.

The effects of Dermal Fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and the area being treated. Gradually, the body naturally absorbs the filler, so maintenance treatments are often recommended to sustain the results.

Dermal Fillers involve minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure or saunas for 24 – 48 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of swelling.

Side effects are typically mild and may include slight redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days. Although rare, complications such as lumps or uneven results can occur, but these can be corrected with follow-up treatments or massage.

One session of Dermal Fillers is usually enough to achieve visible results. However, some patients may require touch-ups or additional sessions to achieve their desired look, depending on the severity of volume loss and their aesthetic goals.

Yes, Dermal Fillers are safe and effective for all skin types. During your initial consultation, our specialists will evaluate your skin and facial structure to ensure the treatment is tailored to your specific needs.

Yes, Dermal Fillers can be combined with other non-invasive procedures, such as botulinum, laser treatments or Ultherapy Prime, to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
