Flat or Sunken Cheeks Making You Look Older? Chaeum Hyaluronic Acid Mid-Face Filler at Rappoel Dermatology Seoul



The apple cheeks — the soft, rounded area just below the eyes that lifts when you smile — are a hallmark of youth. As we age, facial fat pads shrink and shift downward, leaving the mid-face looking flat or hollow. This can make even a rested face appear tired, stern, or older than it truly is. At Rappoel Dermatology in Gangnam, Seoul, we use The Chaeum Premium hyaluronic acid to restore mid-face volume naturally, using precise layered injection techniques tailored to your facial anatomy.

Why Do Apple Cheeks Flatten?

  • Natural aging: Facial fat pads thin and descend after your mid-20s
  • Gravity: Volume shifts downward, deepening nasolabial folds
  • Low cheekbone structure: Some patients have naturally flat mid-faces
  • Rapid weight loss: Facial fat is often lost disproportionately
  • UV damage: Sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown

Rappoel’s Mid-Face Filler Approach

We use The Chaeum Premium series from Hugel Korea, selecting different viscosities for each tissue layer:

  • Deep periosteal layer: Anchors the structure and creates a lifted foundation
  • Mid fat-pad layer: Restores natural volume and soft contour
  • Superficial refinement: Smooths fine hollows and improves skin luminosity

Blunt-tip cannulas are used where possible to minimize bruising and entry points, allowing faster recovery.

Results You Can Expect

  • Fuller, naturally rounded cheeks when smiling
  • Reduced under-eye shadows and a brighter overall complexion
  • Softened nasolabial folds (without directly filling them)
  • More defined, sculpted side profile
  • No downtime — return to daily activities the next day

Frequently Asked Questions

Will apple cheek filler look unnatural?
Results depend on technique and volume. Rappoel’s philosophy is restoration, not exaggeration — we aim to replace what was lost rather than overfill. Conservative initial treatment is recommended, with adjustments at follow-up if desired.
Will filler make my face look wider?
When placed correctly along the zygomatic arc, filler lifts and contours rather than widens. Overly low placement (toward the nasolabial fold) is the common cause of a ‘widened’ appearance — Rappoel avoids this with precise anatomical targeting.
How is mid-face filler different from nasolabial fold filler?
Mid-face filler addresses the root cause — supporting the cheek structure naturally softens the folds from above. Direct fold filler targets the groove itself. Rappoel typically recommends mid-face treatment first, then reassesses whether fold filler is needed.
Can hyaluronic acid filler be dissolved if I don’t like the result?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme at any time, making this a fully reversible treatment.
Can I fly back to Taiwan the same day as treatment?
We recommend resting overnight in Seoul before flying. Cabin pressure and prolonged sitting can worsen swelling. Most patients feel comfortable flying 24–48 hours post-treatment. Rappoel can schedule your appointment accordingly.
