Post-treatment results.
The jawline is tighter and the profile looks more refined. There is visibly less volume in the lower part of the face, making the contours brighter and giving the face a fresher, more open appearance. The result remains subtle and natural.

Hamster cheeks in brief
Hamster cheeks typically occur as a result of sagging skin, often combined with facial volume loss. Fat from the upper cheeks sags down, creating fuller, drooping cheeks along the jawline. This gives the face a heavier, tired appearance.
Hamster cheeks are often accompanied by a less tight jawline. Read more about the jawline treatment.
How do hamster cheeks occur?
There are often several factors involved in the development of hamster cheeks. The most common causes consist of:
- Skin aging and collagen loss: causes sagging and loss of skin firmness, causing subcutaneous fat tissue to shift and volume to drop.
- Weight loss or facial volume loss: can cause the skin to sag and droop more.
- Heredity and genetic predisposition: sometimes family predisposition and genetic facial contour play a role
- Ozempic face: In people who lose weight quickly due to the use of Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medication, the rapid weight loss can lead to volume loss in the face, causing the skin to droop and hamster cheeks. This makes the face look sunken, saggy or aged.
Solutions
Our treatment for reducing hamster cheeks
At DokterEs , we offer several non-surgical options to elevator hamster cheeks and restore your facial contour. Which treatment is most appropriate depends on the degree of skin sagging and your unique face shape. This will be discussed during a personal consultation.
Possible treatments include:
- Sculptra: stimulates collagen for natural skin firming
- Filler cheekbone: elevator the face subtly from above
- Fillers in the jawline: replenishes volume and tightens the jawline, however, this must be done very subtly as otherwise it will actually create an aggravation of the lower part of the face.
- Wire elevator: elevators the skin mechanically with dissolvable wires, gives an immediate tightening and elevator effect without volume increase.
- Depuff & Lift massage: an intensive massage combined with skincare products aimed at reducing fluid retention (eye bags) and stimulating blood flow. The skin instantly looks fresher, tighter and lifted - without injections.
During a personal consultation, we look at your needs and options together. We analyze your skin with our advanced 3D skin scan and draw up a customized treatment plan for you. Here we give you extensive advice on treatment options, as well as the best skin care routine at home for the best and lasting results.

Hamster cheeks removal without surgery
Many people think that surgery is the only way to get rid of hamster cheeks. Fortunately, this is not the case. At DokterEs , we use advanced, non-surgical techniques to tighten your jawline and subtly correct sagging skin - without cutting, scarring or lengthy recovery.
With a clever combination of things like Sculptra, fillers, thread elevator, or lifting massage, we can firm the skin, restore volume, and refine your facial contours.
No surgery required, but a fresh, lifted appearance.
The results are natural, fit your face, and gradually grow with your skin. So you don't look treated, just a tighter, fresher version of yourself.
Are you open to a facelift?
We certainly welcome that. A facelift can provide a beautiful, natural elevator. But even then, it's wise to keep working on the quality of your skin as well. After all, a facelift does not change the decreased firmness and elasticity of the skin itself. By supporting it with Skinboosters, Sculptra or targeted skincare, for example, the results of a surgical procedure remain beautiful in the long term.
