How can I achieve a more balanced face without looking unnatural (Photos)?

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. Rhinoplasty can reshape your nose to create an appearance that complements the rest of your facial features. It would be best to consult with a plastic surgeon who can provide image morphing to help you determine what changes you’d like to make. As for facial slimming, you may benefit from liposuction to remove excess fat along the jawline and achieve a more sculpted contour.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your concerns and goals with you to help you decide on the best course of action.

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.

Based on these photos it seems that rhinoplasty would make most sense? Possibly lower, transconjuctival blepharoplasty. In person consultation with a baord certified plastic surgeron, expert in rhinoplasty, is recommended. Good luck.

It is important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon expert in facial aesthetics to determine which cosmetic procedures may be appropriate for your individual needs and goals. However, based on your concerns, a combination of rhinoplasty and a mini facelift may be suitable for you. Rhinoplasty can address any issues with the size or shape of the nose, while a mini facelift can help to tighten and lift the skin in the lower cheeks and jaw area. It is important to find a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual needs and provide personalized recommendations. It's also important to have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure, as some changes may be subtle and not dramatically alter your appearance. It's understandable to be nervous about the outcome of cosmetic procedures, but a qualified surgeon can help to minimize the risk of unnatural-looking results. It's important to ask questions, discuss any concerns, and have a clear understanding of the potential risks and benefits of any proposed procedures before making a decision.


I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Hi dear Trustworthy172564!
You are very right about your concerns about your young and natural looking facial features turning into an artificial or unlike yours after any procedure. Your requests are certainly very reasonable. Your nose can be narrowed and given a more elegant appearance. At the same time, the definition of your jawlines will provide you young, energetic, happy and harmonious facial features. If I had to summarize, you are a very suitable candidate for rhinoplasty and lower face bulldog aesthestics (kind of mini facelift). Lower face bulldog aesthetic is a simple surgical procedure that excess fat, skin and tissues under the skin that causes sagging on your lower face is removed with a tiny incision made behind the ear. The hidden tiny incision scars will remain around ears will fade day by day and become almost invisible. You can achieve natural, tighter, balanced and elegant facial features.
With all respect.

First of all, you do not need any type of facelift. If you are interested in performing a rhinoplasty, and your nose bothers you a lot, then give that some consideration. A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, straightening the nose, refinement of the nasal tip with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required. Digital computer imaging of your nose upon your facial features would also be helpful in the education process to understand what can be accomplished

It is very unfortunate that you don't see yourself as attractively as others see you. You really need no surgery at all. But if you wanted to look into anything, perhaps a rhinoplasty might refine your nose and make it a bit more delicate. Suggest you visit Drs Portuese and Naficy for evaluations. But absolutely no facelift, mini or otherwise. Nothing to gain there. Keep up with excellent sunscreen as no skin care program is better than sun protection to stay young looking. Embrace yourself please.
