My face is so round!! Weight loss or dermal fillers? (Photo)

Hello, my name is Dr. Burko and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. Prior to injecting, I assess the patient from multiple views in order to explain what I am seeing. It is hard to say with only 1 view of what the best treatment plan is. There are multiple fillers on the market than be used for different areas on the face. My recommendation is for you to see a trained plastic surgeon who can make an assessment and offer you their best treatment plan.

Hello, and thank you for your question. You are beautiful in your own skin and I understand if you want to improve certain areas. By looking at your photo, it does not seem you need to lose weight, but that can only be determined at an in-person consult to truly evaluate your height, weight, and BMI. If you are concerned about a round face, there are treatment options that can help. We have a masseter muscle in our face that helps with chewing, but it can often increase or bulge in size due to stress, teeth grinding, clenching of the jaw, etc. If this is the case, that muscle can be treated with neurotoxin to help shrink the muscle. This will give a more contoured appearance to the face. On top of this, dermal filler can also help with providing structure and contour to specific areas of the face. I would recommend scheduling a consult with a practitioner to determine the best treatment for you.

Your cheeks look heavy because your lower face is narrow by comparison. You can try filler on the jawline to balance the upper face. Remember, fullness in the face is a huge benefit in looking younger as you age so do not be too quick to reduce it..
