What surgical/nonsurgical procedure could I get to make my face less round? (Photo)

Question

I’ve always had a pretty chubby round face even though I am really skinny. I’ve had a chin implant, my buccal fat,removed and neck Lipo, but my face still feels super round and chubby. Any recommendations on how to change this?!

Hung William Song, MD · Answer

I have to begin with saying that you have a very pretty face and my recommendation is to stop messing with it. Having said that, I think if you were to do anything, it's nat really your lower face that is making it look round. A little bit of volume in the temples and lateral cheeks will shift the weight upwards and might give it the look you are looking for. The best way to do this would be with a fat transfer, but Fillers, threads and biostimulators are also options.

Individuals with a round face seeking more of a heart shaped face will benefit from fillers placed strigicatly in the mid face.  Specifically for you, some filler to the lateral zygoma region with help. You may also consider adding a small amount of filler to the lower face specifically the chin to give some elongation of the face. Another suggestion is to look into neurotoxin for the masseter muscles this can help to reduce the roundness in the lower face.

Fillers and Botox are great tools to help contour the face.  Fillers can be used to sculpt and highlight facial planes.  Botox can be used to minimize the jawline through injections to the masseter muscles.  They also can address the brows to give a refreshed look to the eyes.  We always recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Try masseter botox. This will temporarily relax the masseter muscle which also allows the muscle to shrink in size. In doing so, it results in a more sculpted and contoured look.

Hi @Allieerexy, I am a facial plastic surgeon. Based on your pictures you look like you may be a good candidate for buccal fat removal which would help contour your cheeks and create definition for your cheek bones. I recommend a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Ghazizadeh

You have a very youthful shape to your face but to address your question, I would consider maintaining fullness in the temples and the upper lateral cheeks which would create a more lifted look to your upper face and a tapered narrow look to your lower face.Research an experienced injector to help you review your options!

First of all, you don’t have around face. Secondly, when you submit photographs, you have to do so without any kind of expression on your face. The face has to be at rest. You’re still young and the volume in your face that you despise at this point in time will go down and will eventually, reach the point where you’ll be pretty happy. Later on in life, you will miss this volume in the face which makes an individual look younger. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
