Is there a procedure to shave my cheekbones or somehow narrow my face? (photos)

January 1, 2019
Asked By:malecalifornia in San Diego, CA

Here are two pictures. The first is how my face actually looks. I'm a male and it's very pear shaped and I am insecure about how wide it gets at the bottom. I want a more narrow face where it does not widen below the cheekbone and stays more narrow, defined, and looks more square this way. Is there any way to shave my cheekbones or method to make my face more narrow. I'm very fit and lean so weight loss is not an option. This is a facial structure thing not face fat issue.

Thank you for your question. Cheeks can be shaved down but most doctors use fillers to camoflage the area such as injecting . the temples, midface and lateral cheek to get the cheek to appear less prominent and more contoured. I suggest seeing an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.
