I’m really unhappy with the shape of my face I want to fix it without surgery. Options for fillers and other solutions?

Question

I’m very unhappy with my face shape . I’ve got my nose done and my lips, which still didn’t help. I feel it looks weird with photos I can’t figure out what it is. I need your help doctors to achieve my best look and feel good when I see a picture of me. Are my cheeks too big, is my chin too small or is it double chin? I have no idea.

Hello and thank you for your question. Although there is nothing wrong with your face, many people look to achieve a look very similar to the last photo you have provided.  Her face is symmetric and has a youthful, introverted triangular shape to it.  To achieve your goals, I believe sharpening your jawline and chin, as well as enhancing your cheekbones a bit, can create the look you desire.  With fillers such as Voluma, Restylane, Radiesse, or Bellafill, we can achieve these results easily.  Be sure you are seeking an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics for best results! Good luck

Sorry to hear you’ve been unhappy with the results of your previous cosmetic treatments. However, it’s crucial that you’re able to clearly outline your goals and/or trouble spots so that your cosmetic surgeon can recommend the most appropriate solution. It’s also important to keep in mind that fillers and even surgical procedures are meant to enhance your natural features, so maintaining realistic expectations throughout the process is very important.

That being said, fillers can help to make subtle changes in your facial structure. Just be sure to work with an experienced professional who will take the time to help you decide which treatment(s) will give you the most suitable outcome.

Thank you for your question.  There are a number of injection techniques that can be used to reshape the face. For slimming of the lower face, Botox can be injected into the masseter muscle with nice results. Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, and Radiesse can be used to reshape the chin, augment the cheeks and temple areas, and strengthen the jawline. I also like to use PDO lifting threads to enhance jawline reshaping with fillers. For reduction of fat under the chin Kybella is a nice option and we often combine that with Coolsculpting or Trusculpt 3D.  Best of luck!

First, I always caution patients about the photos on Instagram and other social media outlets as they are all edited.  Secondly, the lens on iPhones distorts images.  A recent study demonstrated that the nose appears 30% larger in selfies.  This distortion occurs with whatever facial feature is closest to the camera.  With that being said, there are some changes that can be made rather easily with botox and fillers.  I recommend you have a consultation with a plastic surgery to discuss these options.

The most important issue to understand is that what looks good on one person may not look so great on the others. You must take your face as a unit rather than a sum of its components. You have a beautiful face and with few enhancement you can accomplish everything you want. Except, for looking like someone else. The most important issue that one can see on the photos relates to your lower face, particularly to the size and position of your chin. This can be corrected to achieve a dramatic overall improvement. That needs to be correlated with your upper neck and the jawline. Your mid- and upper-face are not visible on the images so it is difficult to comment. Again, the goal is to create a harmonious face without distortions, exaggerations or creation of something that was never there. Stay natural. Stay yourself. Good luck!
