I have an oval/long face with a slightly long chin. Can I achieve a rounder/more heart-shaped look if I get cheek/lip fillers?

While fat grafting does offer longer-lasting results than dermal fillers, the outcome is also less predictable with fat. In addition, if you don’t like your results, there is no way to reverse fat grafting. I would suggest starting out with some well-placed filler to enhance your facial contour and bring your features into better proportion. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, and there is no downtime afterward. Depending on the filler used, your improvement could last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Make sure you choose an experienced, board-certified dermatologist for this procedure to ensure an optimal outcome.

While fat grafting can be used for facial contouring, some patients begin with dermal fillers to make sure they like the result before moving forward with more permanent fat grafting. Either could be used in the cheekbones to add definition, or along the jawline to create more of a heart shape to the face. No matter which treatment you choose, make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome. 

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Unfortunately without pictures it is not possible to assess your whole face, however according to your question you could be a good candidate for face fat grafting or fillers and other injectables. 
An accurate “static” and “dynamic” facial assessment and a bespoke
treatment with a “combined technique with needle and cannula” using dermal
fillers can address your concerns, reduce asymmetry ( if present) and achieve balance and proportion among the different areas (I.e. cheeks, mid-face, jaw lines, lips and chin)  in our face with a natural looking result.
In addition this medical approach using fillers is suitable for top up during the years and with minimal downtime. 
I recommend to seek the advice of an expert doctor with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and proportions and experience in facial assessment and treatment.

All the best ,

fillers can be used to contour and shape the face, so can facetite or accutite procedures. a combination of skin tightening with morpheus and/or threads plus fillers can really help to improve the contour of the face.  I suggest dermarolling at home to kep the texture improved and tightent the skin (see link too emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear sallyausy,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, dermal fillers are a great option for facial contouring. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

There's absolutely no better way to treat a long face than with the use of the patient's own fat. When face fat grafting is done by an expert plastic surgeon, the results are extremely natural and permanent. In my hands I can create almost any appearance to the face that the patient desires. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Hello and thanks for your question. Fillers are a great way to reshape the face- my suggestion would be to possible start with HA based filler before considering fat transfer to see how this works for you. There is also the option of using non surgical devices to reshape the face and to help lift and tighten. You would be best seeking a face to face consult. Best wishes
