Hi, approaching forty and I look awful. My face looks so square and bottom heavy. I have nasolabial folda and think I look musculine. Any tips as to what may make me look better. Refreshed?

Answer: Face looks so square and bottom heavy A good exam is always necessary to determine possible alternatives and a good discussion is required to learn the expected results and the pros and cons of various treatments. In general if one has a heavier lower face and that is due to aging with skin looseness, usually the two options are either lifting to reduce the heaviness of the lower face or adding filler or volume of some sort to the cheek region to restore balance of the face. Sometimes both are done. A consultation is required. If you have a good discussion with your surgeon you will have a good understanding of the various alternatives.

Answer: My face looks so square and bottom heavy. At 40 I would not recommend a facelift. You could see significant improvement in volume loss with a dermal filler such as Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra Plus. With regard to the "square" shape of your face, many people are candidates for Botox slimming of the masseter muscle which can significantly reduce the width of the lower part of the face and create a much more pleasing triangular or heart shaped facial appearance. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
