What type of fillers for a round flat face? (Photo)

Question

Hi, my face is very round and flat. I was considering lip fillers for my wonky lip (one side is plumper than the other) but I’m worried it will make them look too plumped and won’t correct the issue. So instead I’m considering another type of filler to try lengthen my features such as chin or jaw filler. I did also consider massetor Botox but not sure that would work. Thanks

First of all, you are beautiful! Many patients come in requesting filler to create high cheekbones and defined jawline. I would start with Botox to the masseter to slim the jawline and lower face. You could also consider some filler to lengthen/slim the chin and face. But I would start conservatively with Botox and see if that helps before turning to filler.

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

From your photos it appears you would have the best result from a combination of treatments.  Masseter Botox can be used to help contour the jawline.  Fillers can be used in the cheeks and lips to create volume and improve asymmetries.  Visit an experienced injector near you for a consultation.

What you call a flat face is a condition which is purely inherited from your fathers side. I would not recommend using fillers, but instead focus and find a plastic surgeon who specializes in fat grafting. A small amount of fat taken from another part of your body and injected into the cheek area, as well as the lower eyelid area will re-create proper proportions with permanent and natural results. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
