Shrinkage Side Effect: Sunken Cheeks. Is the cause due to lack of design? Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Shrink side effect cheek hollowing is one of the results that those considering a lifting procedure fear most.

If you go for a lifting procedure and your cheeks appear hollow instead, it creates a greater concern than the procedure itself.

However, the core reason for Shrink side effect cheek hollowing is not an equipment issue.

Because of a lack of design, and incorrect posture

These two are the fundamental causes of cheek hollowing.

Shrink is a procedure that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to the deep layers of the skin to contract and lift tissues.

The problem is how to determine where the energy will be delivered.

Most clinics begin Shrink with the patient lying on a bed.

In a supine position, the position of the cheek fat and the direction of gravity change.

In reality, the areas of the face that need volume and where skin sags can only be accurately identified when sitting.

If energy is delivered based on coordinates determined while lying down, contraction can occur even in areas where lifting is not actually needed.

If tissue contracts in areas where cheek volume is needed, cheek hollowing, where the cheeks appear sunken, can occur.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Unique Shrink Procedure Principle — Design First While Sitting

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, the design is always performed first in a sitting position before the Shrink procedure.

After accurately identifying the actual facial contours, the starting point of sagging, and the areas where cheek volume should be maintained while sitting, the treatment coordinates are determined.

Starting the procedure immediately while lying down without this process is the structural cause of Shrink side effect cheek hollowing.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic uses custom tips of 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm, in addition to the 4.5mm main tip, by replacing them for each area.

If the same tip is used for areas with different skin thicknesses and layers, such as the inner cheek, jawline, and forehead, energy is not delivered accurately to the desired depth.

Replacing tips for each area is a direct way to increase procedure precision and reduce the risk of side effects like cheek hollowing.

Sufficient Shots, and a Lifting Card

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, sufficient shots are guaranteed for each area.

If the number of shots is insufficient, the lifting effect itself is minimal, and conversely, if excessively concentrated on a specific area, it can lead to results like cheek hollowing.

Precisely dividing areas during the design phase and then distributing the appropriate number of shots to each area is the way to achieve balanced results.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic creates a lifting card after the procedure and shares it with the patient.

This record details which tip was used, how many shots were administered, and which areas were focused on.

Since adjustments are made based on this data for subsequent procedures, more precise results can be achieved with each session.

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, the option to proceed with even higher Ulthera intensity is also available.

The intensity is adjusted according to the skin condition and desired lifting depth, and this is also determined after the design is first established in a sitting position.

The recommended treatment interval for Shrink is 1 month.

It is generally accepted to approach it with a cumulative concept rather than a one-time treatment, and the timing of the next procedure is adjusted based on the number of shots administered in a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does Shrink side effect cheek hollowing recover over time?

A. Since Shrink side effect cheek hollowing is caused by tissue contraction, natural recovery takes time. Accurately designing and performing the procedure from the beginning is the most reliable prevention method. At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, design in a sitting position is a mandatory process to block the possibility of cheek hollowing from the outset.

Q. Why is there a difference in Shrink results between lying down and sitting?

A. The core reason for Shrink side effect cheek hollowing is the treatment posture. In a supine position, the position of the cheek fat and the direction of gravity change, making it difficult to accurately identify the actual sagging areas. When checked while sitting, the sagging boundary and areas requiring volume maintenance become clearly visible.

Q. What makes Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Shrink different?

A. Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic first performs design in a sitting position before the Shrink procedure, and uses 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips in addition to the 4.5mm main tip, replacing them for each area. After the procedure, a lifting card is created and shared, allowing for precise lifting based on accumulated data without results like Shrink side effect cheek hollowing.
