My face is widest near my cheekbones and at the temples of my face but I have a small jawline so this is excluding any jaw surgery. I have looked into the possibility of zygomatic displacement but I'm not sure if it is an efficient procedure. Thanks for your time!
Answer: Is There Any Surgery or Treatment to Make a Wide Face More Narrow and Oval Shaped?
Dear Lin,
Thank you for your post. I think you are stunning in this smiling photo. However, I do see a disproportion of you midface to your lower face. I would love to see non-smiling front and profile photos of your face. I suspect that I would rather offer lower face surgery to match your mid face, rather than vice versa.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD

Answer: Narrow your face
I would be reticent to offer you any surgical procedure, you really don't need anything that I can see. Perhaps judicious use of fillers may be a benefit. See several specialists and choose one that makes you comfortable, do not get talked into anything aggressive. Good luck!

Answer: Facial Contouring
Facial contouring is a popular procedure for my Asian patients. I think the best thing to do is have an in-person consultation where you can discuss your concerns and desired results with a board certified specialist. Computer imaging can also assist you visualize what you may look like after facial contouring. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Answer: Is There Any Surgery or Treatment to Make a Wide Face More Narrow and Oval Shaped?
Yes, aesthetically a wide face can be made to appear heart-shaped (the desired aesthetic female face shape) or more angular (desired male face shape) by shaping the cheeks, chin and jaw appropriately to the specific gender of the patient. In your case, the photo provided (non-smiling front shots are the best for evaluation of facial shape), shows excess fatty tissue over the cheeks making me think the cheeks are flat anteriorly (in the front). If the lateral (outside) aspects of the cheeks are wide making the face appear broad, these can be rasped down at the same time the anterior segment, of the cheeks, are augmented and the excess facial fat removed with micro-liposuction. I'd want to see a profile view, of the face, to be certain that the chin is not weak as this makes the upper face appear top-heavy and unbalanced.
PS, stay away from Zygomatic displacement which is nothing more than in-fracturing of the Zygomatic arch. This type of fracture can entrap the Frontalis Muscle making it difficult to open the mouth completely. There are better ways to make the face appear less-broad as discussed above. Hope this.
