How to improve my side profile for a round face with chubby cheeks? (Photo)

Question

What procedures should I take to achieve the profile of the second picture? Will changing my side profile affect the front view of my face? Thanks

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

​Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and RF treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I would recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Ulthera®/Ultherapy® is the current gold standard treatment for lifting sagging cheeks. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

Thank you for your question.  It appears that based on the limited photos, you are interested in procedures with the goal of cheek reduction.  If so, some potential options range from botox injections to the masseter muscles to help soften the jawline, buccal fat reduction, to jawline contouring procedures.  Each of these options may change the frontal view as well.  I recommend that you seek consultation with a facial surgery expert to discuss your aesthetic goals.  Hope that helps, best of luck!
