Hello! I am a 23 y/o female considering getting filler to balance out my face. I have always been self conscious about how heavy the bottom of my face/jowls are relative to my cheeks and lips. I also really do not like that when I smile it doesn’t seem to reach my eyes. Let me know where the best place to put filler would be and/or what else I could do to combat this issue. This is something i have felt very insecure about for years and would love to fix or at least reduce. Thank you!

Answer: Morpheus 8 Hi @avaasia! I recommend Morpheus8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Answer: Facial balance Thank you for your question. I think he first step would be a facial evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in facial rejuvenation. Looking at your pictures I am not sure fillers or injectables would address your precise issue. One option might be buccal fat pad removal which might address your bottom-heavy face. This is a relatively quick procedure with a quick recovery time. I'm not certain it would be appropriate for you but looking at your pictures it at least might be a consideration. Unlike fillers, this would be more permanent solution. Good luck!

Answer: Cheek Fillers Help To Contour, Shape & Taper The Face The appropriate use of injectable fillers in experienced hands can remedy your concerns with immediate "Wow!" response. First, some basic filler principles are in order: 1) When filler is injected above, it affects favorably what is below, and 2) when filler is placed to the rear, it favorably affects the region to the front. The one major exception to these axioms is that if filler is properly placed in the cheek regions it will help to improve not only the region below the cheeks, but the undereye region above, as well. So, from the photos provided it is clear that there is flattening of the cheekbone regions and from the profile view, there is the development of smile lines and marionette lines. Hence, if the cheekbone region is treated with a bolus of a lifting filler, such as Restylane Lyft, the lift provided will help not only diminish the flattening in that region, but will help to reestablish the more desirable heart-shaped appearance of the face--at the same time diminishing the smile and marionette folds. The undereye region will likely be freshened, as well. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician with experience and expertise in advanced filler injection techniques, and not just the local medspa accustomed to treating ordinary smile lines with simple fillers. Also be sure to ask to see his/her personal before and after photos. Best of luck.

Answer: Facial Contouring Botox can be placed in the masseter muscle to weaken the muscle and contour the lower face. Treatment with Botox to the masseter muscle is also ideal for patients who are grinding and clenching their teeth. Over time this can create a very squared lower jaw, contributing to a more masculine appearance and fuller face. Botox will relax and thin the muscle, which would result in thinning of the face. You would also benefit from filler to the upper lateral cheek and temple areas to improve shape.
