Shortening the face - would a rhinoplasty help, or buccal fat removal? (Photo)

Question

Is there a way to shorten the face? Would a rhinoplasty do this / buccal fat removal? I feel like I have good eyes, however my lower face is quite long.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

There is actually a way to shorten the face if the face is too long. But you do not need it. I also do not see the need for buccal fat pad removal. You’ve got a lonely  face. Don’t let anyone touch it

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Facial shortening might be achieved with chin reduction, but it's not clear from your photo if this would be necessary. Nose job and buccal fat removal would not lead to a shorter facial appearance. Thank you. Dr Joseph
