(29, F) Throughout my 20s I had an angular, heart shaped face. I've noticed as I approach 30 that my cheeks have descended somewhat and created the appearance of a fuller, rounder jawline. I'm wondering how I can try and restore a more angular, youthful face shape and slim/tighten my jawline.
Answer: Cheek augmentation with fillers Based on your photo it looks that augmentation of the central area of your face would create that youthful harmony; angular shape is too masculine. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Facial Contouring with Injectable Fillers (Radiesse, Voluma, Bellafill), Sculptra, Fat Transfer to Face, Implants, See an Expert Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and RF treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I would recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Facial evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from voluma injections into your malar area. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this procedure performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Heart Shaped Face Restoration If you had a heart-shaped face preciously and it has changed this then is they result of aging and/or fat changes. To reverse this effect some high cheek augmentation and lower cheek defatting would seem appropriate. Whether the augmentation is done by filler or fat injections or implants is up for discussion. The defatting part however is more straightforward through removal of buccal pad and perioral fat.
