How Can I Get a Wider Face?

I would like to know what procedures I could get to make my face wider. I was wondering all the possible methods to widen a face, from the forehead, cheeks and jaw.

You may want to consider placement of temporary filler before having fat transfer, getting implants, or having something even more invasive.  However, an exam and a realistic discussion of goals and expectations would be needed before anything could really be recommended.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Because the underlying skeletal structure of your face determines the width and shape of facial features, not much can be done to produce a wider face. However, facial fat transfer, cheek implants and dermal fillers are all viable options to add more definition and volume to different areas of the face. The recommended procedure will depend on the areas you would like to augment with plastic surgery.
If you would like to learn more about your available options, schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to receive an evaluation. Hope this helps.

The first thing to understand is that it can be difficult to "change" your given face.  This is mainly because of underlying bone and fatty tissue that cannot really be changed.  However, some things can be done including cheek implants, chin augmentation, and fat injections.  It is important to be evaluated by a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to determine what exactly can be done.

Hello! To sculpt improved aesthetic contours and balance, one can use fillers (versatile, precise but temporary), fat or implants (for the temple, cheekbone and lateral jawline/sculpted mandibular angle). Implants are permanent and come in different sizes but can accentuate asymmetries. Each procedure has risks and benefits; I recommend finding an experienced facial plastic surgeon and discussing which would be suit your features. Good luck!

Ideal face shape is a round or heart shaped face, high cheek boes, nice sweep to the cheek, and clean jaw line.
You can achieve that with fat transfer.
