How Do I Get Rid of a Frowny Face/cheeks? (photo)

I am still in college, I am about 110 and 5'3. I thought that the fat in my cheeks would go away if I lost weight but it did not. I hope this does not sound ridiculous but people constantly ask me why I am sad/angry. My face looks like it is frowning because my cheeks hang low.

Liquid Facelift to Change Facial Shape

Our facial shape is a result of our underlying bony facial skeleton, the amount of facial fat, strength of our facial muscles and skin thickness and skin texture. Weight loss early in life generally has a beneficial effect on facial appearance. As we age even minimal amounts of weight loss can considerably age one’s appearance.

Non-surgical face lift

Adding volume to your upper cheeks with Juvederm or Perlane would help lift your lower cheeks and bring more attention to your beautiful eyes. I would also use Botox and filler to lift the corners of your mouth to make you look happier.

Cheek lift

Dear Veronica, As you can see in the pictures, when you smile, and lift up the cheeks, you are essentially adding volume to the upper cheeks. Fat transfers are great for a longer lasting result and they will go away as you get older. By then, the rest of your face is likely to catch up and balance itself out. Temporary fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are great as well. The catch is that it would take a few syringes and it lasts for about a year or so. A... more
