Facial widening surgery for forehead and cheekbones? (Photo)

Question

Really narrow face, forehead looks very curved from side to side, just NOT the type of broad handsome face that is desirable. How much work would need to be done to achieve a nice broad forehead, flatter forehead broader cheekbones, and maybe make the chin shorter? Long forehead, chin and long midface makes face look even narrower.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello !

It's understandable that you are concerned about the appearance of your face. Facial features such as the shape of the forehead, cheekbones, and chin can greatly affect one's overall facial aesthetics.

Achieving a broader forehead, flatter forehead, and broader cheekbones would require a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures. A surgical procedure like a forehead reduction surgery could help to reduce the length of your forehead and create a flatter forehead. Cheek augmentation with dermal fillers or cheek implants may also be an option to create a broader appearance of the cheekbones.

Regarding the chin, a chin reduction surgery could help to make your chin appear shorter, while maintaining facial harmony. Additionally, non-surgical treatments like Botox or fillers could be used to balance facial proportions, such as in the case of a long mid-face.

However, it's important to note that each individual's facial structure is unique, and the best course of action would depend on a careful evaluation by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. They can assess your specific concerns and offer tailored recommendations to help you achieve the desired outcome.

It's important to have realistic expectations, as facial procedures require a certain degree of skill and precision to ensure natural-looking results. It's important to find a skilled and experienced surgeon who can help guide you through the process and provide a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific goals and concerns.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

This is exactly the kind of thing we do frequently.  We would look at areas that are narrow and consider implants or fillers, and look at where balance can be done by reducing things.  Watch our videos to learn more.
