Facial fillers for more volume, definition, and a slim look. What are my options? (photos)

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Botox is a great option to slenderize the jawline. When injected into the masseter muscle, it reduces the size of the muscle to provide a slimming effect to the lower third portion of the face.
Dermal fillers can also be used to restore volume and create a sculpted midface contour. Combining these two treatment options is often referred to as a liquid facelift. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can suggest the best combination of formulas to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

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.

Thank you for your question. There are a variety of fillers that can help contour the face. While fillers cannot slim the face, by adding volume in certain regions such as the cheek bones and jawline, it can give the illusion of the face being slimmer. Buccal fat removal is a procedure that helps slim the cheeks as well and offers a permanent solution. Just something to consider. I hope this helps, and all the best!
