Filler for oblong face? (Photo)

Question

I’m interested in dermal fillers for my elongated face because I would like to have a rounder face. Is this possible with filler or would I have to see an oral specialist to fix my jaw? I considered a forehead reduction in the past but my biggest problem area seems to be my mid-face. Would appreciate any advice on this issue.

Dermal fillers can indeed be used to subtly alter the shape of your face and create a more rounded appearance. They can add volume to the cheeks, temples, or other areas to create more balance and fullness. However, the extent to which they can change your face shape is limited and the results are temporary, typically lasting 6 to 18 months depending on the type of filler used.
For more significant or permanent changes, surgical procedures may be necessary. This could potentially involve oral or maxillofacial surgery to alter the structure of your jaw, or potentially a mid-face lift or cheek implants to add volume and roundness.
If your main concern is your mid-face, you might consider a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or a cosmetic dermatologist experienced in facial contouring. They can assess your facial structure and discuss the best options for achieving the results you desire.
As with any cosmetic procedure, it's important to have realistic expectations and to understand the potential risks and benefits. Your healthcare provider can provide more detailed information based on your specific needs and circumstances.

Hello,
you can volumize your midface tridimensional and in different vectors by Filler. But you may need over 4 syringe per side and as you know dermal fillers are not permanent.

Relax. The use of a robust HA volumizing filler for the upper mid-face can not only contour a more youthful, ideal, oval heart-shaped face, but can even secondarily help to diminish the the incipient under-eye hollows seen in the photo. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector. In experienced hands, this can be accomplished in about fifteen to twenty mintues with immediate results and engendering little to no significant downtime. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Fillers can be used to add volume and improve facial contours.  Fillers to the cheek area such as Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lyft can provide a nice enhancement to your facial features.  See an expert injector to learn more.

I would recommend fat grafting to your middle face 
It may take 2-3 treatments but will improve the shape of your face

Jo Herzog, MD · Answer

I certainly thunk that one filler in the cheeks and area zygoma would change the shape of your face some. I don't think that a forehead reduction would make a change that you are looking for. sometimes when a large forehead bothers you all you need is a hairstyle change.
