Which procedure would help me achieve a more balanced and shorter look? (photos)

Question

I was wondering what procedures/surgeries would I benefit from in order to achieve a more harmonious balanced face, that is more beautiful and attractive.

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 and for providing photos. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are a favorable option for improving facial balance and symmetry by adding volume to specific areas of the face. These formulas can volumize shallow contours, improve fullness and definition, and promote a more symmetrical appearance overall. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals with you and suggest the best treatment option to help you achieve them.

Dermal fillers, also known as "hyaluronic acid" or "HA" fillers, are injectable treatments used to add volume and fullness to the skin. They can be used to balance the face by adding volume to certain areas that have lost volume due to aging or other factors. Fillers can be used to model the cheeks, for example, by adding volume to the cheekbones to create a more youthful and defined facial structure.
HA fillers work by attracting and holding water in the skin, which helps to plump and hydrate the skin. They are typically made of a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin, and they are biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning they are safe to use and will be naturally absorbed by the body over time.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin on the face and neck. It can be used to address sagging skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While Ultherapy and dermal fillers can both be used to address facial aging, they work in different ways and can be used to address different concerns.
Anti-aging clinics offer a variety of treatments, including dermal fillers and Ultherapy, to help patients achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs and goals.

In your case, it’s actually quite easy. What you’re lacking is cheeks.. This is an inherited condition from your father side, where your father probably does not have cheeks whatsoever. By using your own fat, fat can be grafted while creating any shape or size of the cheeks, you desire. The look desired by you can be created before your procedure. When the procedure of fat grafting, it’s performed by a plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in such techniques, the results are natural and permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
