How to shorten or make my face appear shorter, more beautiful and more balanced/proportionate/structured? (Photo)

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from Buccal fat removal, this is a good option to contour the face. Buccal fat excision can be done comfortably, awake, under local anesthesia in under an hour. The results are long lasting and the recover is quick. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

You are right on that it is all about balance. You have nice skin and beautiful lips. I think with some well placed fillers and buccal fat pad sculpting you could get the look you are after. You have a higher hairline so actually lengthening the chin is helpful sometimes in that case.

Find a surgeon you trust and be clear with your goals.
Best of luck,

FFS for the female for a more feminine and attractive appearance. You would benefit from the following: An Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift with Hairline Lowering, Cheek implants, and probably a Rhinoplasty (I need to see more nasal views). Most importantly you need this done by a very experienced FFS surgeon who can show you dozens of natural results. These can be done together or separated. Make sure you see a close up of the hairline without a noticeable scar.
