Would cheek and chin filler help me achieve a V-shaped face? (photos)

Question

Hello. I’d like to have a more V shape/ snatched face. I’ve been told cheek filler can help. Would chin filler help as well? I have good chin projection but a wide chin so I’m wondering if filler can help give it an elogonated look. I have full frontal cheek so I’m worried about looking puffy. Additionally is there anything to reduce under eye puffiness when smiling? Open to any type of treatment

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit from a combination of dermal filler and Botox injections to create a more v-shaped appearance. Dermal fillers can add volume to the cheeks and under-eye area to create a smooth and supple transition, and to the chin for a natural-looking projection. Botox can also be administered to slenderize the jawline and provide a slimming effect to the lower third portion of the face. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals with you and suggest the best treatment options to help you achieve them.

From your photos it appears you would have the best results from a combination of treatments.  Fillers can be used to help add volume and lift to the cheek area.  Botox can help to reduce the masseter muscle, slimming the jawline.  Morpheus8 treatments can be used to improve overall skin tone and texture.  A series of three treatments is recommended for optimal results.

Hello, and thank you for your question! Cheek filler would be a really great option for you! Cheek filler will help reduce the drawn down look. It will also help soften your nasolabial folds. In addition to cheek filler, you would also benefit from chin filler as well. Adding chin filler will help elongate your profile. Good luck on your journey!

Hi there,

Fillers would be a great option for you. You have some volume loss in your upper cheek and tear trough. Also appears that Jawline filler and marionette area can use a little volume.
Please make sure you see a certified injector so that you have great results.

Best of luck!
