Is there a way to make your face appear slimmer by using injectable fillers? (Photo)

Question

I'm in my early twenties so I haven't really lost much volume in my face due to aging, so I wasn't sure if any injectable fillers would help my face appear more thin since they mostly restore/add volume to where they are injected. I am very slim but my face is round and my cheeks are chubby especially when I smile and I am very self conscious about it. Both of my parents have similar shaped faces so I don't think it is baby fat. Thank you!

Morgan417,Sometimes there can be an excess of cheek fat and rather than adding fillers we can remove this extra fat right in the office.  It is a very quick and easy procedure from which to recover in most cases.This may be a good choice for you.Best of luck!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I would not recommend any sort of filler for you at this  point.  I would also try to avoid liposuction of the face which can prematurely age you.

Edwin Ishoo, MD · Answer

Fillers are volumizers, so by definition, their role is add volume to where ever they are injected so they can narrow or slim the face. From your pictures, your cheeks are absolutely perfect and I strongly suggest against any cosmetic alteration of your cheek volume.

Seth Kates, MD · Answer

Hi,I know that you won't believe me, but in looking at your photos, I don't think that your face looks chubby/too full, but...  Occasionally volume can be used on the upper cheeks to make the face look more angular but I don't think that it will work nicely for you.  My best suggestion would be to accept your cheeks (you look very pretty in the photos) and if you don't love them now, know that you will greatly appreciate their volume in time!Good luck
