Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

I am Hongseon Lee, Chief Physician of Mind Dermatology.

"I want to get Ulthera, but…

I'm worried my cheeks will hollow out,

so I'm concerned."

"I naturally have little cheek fat,

is it okay for someone like me?"

I completely understand these concerns.

In the consultation room, more people than expected mention worries about cheek hollowing before lifting effects.

Today I will organize, from a realistic perspective, the concerns people often have when considering Ulthera lifting at Mapo Dermatology Clinic'cheek hollowing'so you can have a clearer standard.

I hope this helps you understand what aspects to use as criteria rather than vague anxiety.

What kind of procedure is Ulthera?

Ulthera lifting at Mapo Dermatology Clinic uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy to the deep layers of the skin,particularly reaching the fascial layer.

Because it creates tightening from the deep layers rather than the surface, you can expect gradual definition of the facial contour over time.

However, because the energy passes through the fat layer in this process, cheek hollowing may be perceived in some cases.

Why does cheek hollowing occur?

The main reason is that facial anatomy differs from person to person.

For people with sufficient volume, the change can instead make the face appear slimmer,

but if there is originally little fat or prominent zygomatic bones, even a small change can be felt as a hollow.

In such cases the difference appears more clearly.

If a strong tightening approach is applied to a face with little cheek fat, or if sensitive areas such as the anterior cheek or beneath the cheekbone are excessively stimulated,

the remaining volume can be reduced, resulting in a tired or gaunt appearance.

So is there a way to achieve the effect while preserving cheek volume?

To conclude, it is possible.

The key is not the number of shots,but 'where, at what depth, and in which direction'the energy is delivered.

Even with the same number of shots, treating the entire face uniformly

and avoiding the anterior cheek while focusing on the jawline or sagging areas can produce different results.

So the important criterion is a plan tailored to the face.

Direction of traction, depth control, decisions about areas where volume must be preserved, and even energy intensity,

must be adjusted to the condition to lead to a naturally refined result.

Procedure outcomes are determined from the consultation stage,

to some extent the direction is decided.

Rather than the number of shots or price, it is better to first see whether they calmly check and explain facial structure, fat distribution, and the direction of sagging.

It is also important that they clearly guide which areas should be treated and which should be avoided.

From our side as well, from the consultation stage the director personally checks the condition,

considers facial balance and volume together, sets the treatment direction, and proceeds accordingly.

We prioritize an approach that, rather than excessive change, will not look awkward even after time passes,

and remains comfortable.

Mapo-gu Dermatology Ulthera lifting is certainly a good procedure, but it is not a treatment applied the same way to everyone.

Cheek hollowing often results not from the procedure itself but from an approach that does not suit the face.

So what is more important is whether the choice matches your current skin condition and facial structure.

It does not have to be our clinic.

However, through consultation with medical staff who have sufficient experience,

please carefully consider what a natural and comfortable direction is for your face.

I hope today's post was helpful to those considering Mapo-gu Dermatology Ulthera lifting.

I will provide care sincerely.
