25 YO Male, with long narrow face, lack of bone/soft tissue support, and droopy skin. How can I achieve a balanced face? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I work out regularly, and eat a healthy diet. I have an issue with my face. Despite being 25 years old, I feel like my face appears old and droopy, due to soft tissue and bone deficiency. Face feels deflated, and I appear to have deficiency in orbital, malar, submalar area, and no jaw. Also, I think I'd need fat grafting as well. You might find it funny, but I'd like to achieve how my face looks when I'm upside down, because it appears balanced. How could I achieve this?

Based on these photos, you seem to be a good candidate for cheek and jaw implants. Considering that you seem to have mild malar deficiency 9small cheek bones) and narrow lower jaw, augmentation of these areas with implants would be the most logical correction. In same cases, additional fat grafting may be needed on top. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with these procedures is recommended. Good luck.

Thank you for your question and photo. Since you’re young and don’t show significant signs of aging, a combination of non-surgical treatment options may help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dermal fillers are an excellent way to balance facial features and restore volume to shallow contours. 
You may also benefit from RF microneedling to tighten and contour the skin and improve elasticity. This treatment stimulates the body’s natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production to help the skin grow tighter and firmer. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or injector who can assess your concerns and determine the best treatment option for you.

Facial shape depends on several variables including skin quality, soft tissue/ fat, and bony.  Very thin patients may lack facial fat for volume and this may be treated with fillers and/or fat grafting in appropriate candidates.
