Question

Hi, i would like to have a more narrow/forward growth face. The thing is, iv’e tried filler for my cheeks and my jaw, but that just made me look like i put on a ton of weight. Ive got wide cheekbones with very little forward projection, and i have some fat on the (where my sideburn is) sides of my face. What is my best option?

For achieving a more narrow and forward-projected facial appearance, there are several options to consider, especially if fillers have not provided the desired effect. Here are some potential approaches:

Buccal Fat Removal: This procedure involves removing fat pads from the cheeks to create a more contoured and narrow facial appearance. It can help reduce the fullness on the sides of the face.

Cheekbone Reduction Surgery: If wide cheekbones are a concern, cheekbone reduction surgery can help create a more balanced facial structure by reducing the width of the cheekbones.

Chin Augmentation: Enhancing the chin with an implant or through genioplasty can improve the forward projection of the face, contributing to a more harmonious profile.

Orthognathic Surgery: For significant changes in facial structure, orthognathic surgery can reposition the jaw and improve facial balance and projection.

Liposuction: Targeted liposuction in the areas with excess fat, such as near the sideburns, can help achieve a slimmer facial appearance.

Consultation with a Specialist: It's essential to consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon. They can evaluate your facial structure and recommend the most appropriate procedures based on your goals and anatomical considerations.

Each of these options has its own set of benefits and considerations, and a professional consultation will help determine the best approach for your specific needs.
