Lack of facial definition and I always look angry. What procedures would improve my face? (Photos)

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your concerns and photo so openly — it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into understanding what’s been bothering you about your facial features. What you’re describing is actually quite common — many people feel that their natural resting expression doesn’t match how they feel inside, and there are ways to gently enhance balance and definition without overdoing it.

For your specific concerns, a combination of subtle, non-surgical treatments might be the best place to start:

Botox can help soften the forehead and brow area, reducing the appearance of an “angry” or tense expression by relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward.

Dermal fillers placed strategically in the cheeks or jawline can enhance facial definition and contour, addressing roundness while maintaining a natural softness.

Chin or cheek contouring through filler can also help bring more balance to your facial proportions.

Brow lift procedures (either surgical or via Botox, called a “chemical brow lift”) can create a more open, refreshed look if you’re feeling that heaviness around your eyes.

You’re absolutely right to be cautious about buccal fat removal — while it can create definition, it’s not ideal for everyone and can make the face appear hollow over time, especially as natural fat volume decreases with age.

The goal is always harmony and subtle enhancement, not drastic change — and it sounds like with the right approach, you could achieve a more defined, relaxed, and balanced look that still feels like you.
