Question

Young and fit however weight never comes off my face. Wondering if there is way to slim or contour my face in a non-invasive way

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face2. 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 slender4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox injected into the masseter muscles can help to slim the appearance of the jawline.  The treatment is done in the office and the results will begin to reveal after a couple of weeks.  Fillers are a great option to help contour the face for improved facial harmony.  Visit with an experienced injector near you to learn more.

Since I don't know your age, I will tell you the way things are in general. The younger the person, the rounder the face as a rule. After the age of 25 the face starts to thin considerably and by the time a woman is 35 or has had a child, the face will thin even more than that. In your case fillers in the cheeks will not do the job for sure. Botox might be of help but you need to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon in person. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
