Are there any procedures to fix bottom heavy/round face into heart shaped face? (Photos)

cagymnastDec 9, 2018
My cheeks droop down, which prevents me from having a heart-shaped face. I don't want to get buccal fat removal because when I age I know that my face will end up looking older. I am skinny, so I don't want to lose weight either. The left photo is how I look, and the right picture is how I would like my facial structure to be.

Your chin appears vertically long with an excessive soft tissue chin pad. As it is likely both bone and soft tissue need to be reduced, a submental approach to your chin reduction is needed. Given the 'magnitude' of the problem, it is likely that it may require two surgeries to adequately reduce...
