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

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!
