Your features can be slimmed, defined, and enhanced with BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers. Below, we’ve outlined effective treatment options for different areas of the face.
Face Shape Change With BOTOX Cosmetic and Fillers
Lower Face
Did you know that your face shape can look square even if it isn’t? When that happens, an enlarged facial muscle known as the masseter is to blame. Masseter muscle reduction using BOTOX® or Dysport® is a great solution that can give your jaw a slimmer appearance.
Meanwhile, if you’re concerned about stubborn excess fat under your chin and in your jowls, consider Kybella®. It’s an injectable treatment that destroys unwanted fat cells. The result is a significant improvement in jawline definition.
Cheeks And Chin
If you’re looking to address flat or poorly defined features, dermal fillers can help. Fillers are designed to add flattering volume to different areas of the face. They are an excellent way to give the illusion of a more prominent bone structure.
You may opt for cheek fillers to achieve a higher and more angular look. Or, you may decide on chin injections to increase projection and definition in that area. Whatever your goal, dermal fillers can likely achieve it.
Eyebrows And Temples
A low brow bone may be concerning because it can make you look irritated or tired. BOTOX® injections effortlessly raise your eyebrows and give the impression of an elevated brow ridge. The treatment, known as a BOTOX® brow lift, is becoming increasingly popular.
Another common issue in the upper face is temple hollowing. It tends to happen with age and can result in a longer, thinner-looking face shape. Dermal fillers restore lost temple volume to create a rounder and more youthful appearance.
How to Change Face Shape Naturally
Changing your face shape “naturally” typically involves methods that may not lead to dramatic transformations but can contribute to overall facial appearance. Keep in mind that genetics play a significant role in determining your natural face shape, and while certain aspects can be influenced, major changes are unlikely.
Here are some natural ways to enhance or highlight certain facial features:
- Facial exercises
- Healthy lifestyle choices
- Makeup techniques
- Hairstyling
- Posture
- Facial massage
- Weight management
How To Change Facial Structure
While there is no natural way to “change” your facial structure, dermal fillers have the ability to alter the contours of your facial structure. Most dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. The special HA solution that fillers use can effectively alter your facial appearance by restoring volume or balancing out specific facial areas.
Additionally, fillers offer more conservative, less invasive treatment when compared to surgery. They are also more affordable, offer reduced downtime, and can be easily adjusted to meet your needs as you age.
Can Facial Bone Structure Change?
As you age, the 14 bones in your face can lose density, just like the rest of the bones in your body. When they shrink, they cause loss of support, which means your eye sockets may become larger, you may have less facial fullness, a shorter and narrower jaw, and a smaller chin. It also unmasks the zones between the different areas of your face. Dermal fillers can help repair some of these issues and make you look younger.
Can You Change Your Face Shape With Surgery?
There are several surgical procedures designed to alter facial features and change face shape. These procedures are typically performed by qualified plastic surgeons or maxillofacial surgeons. It’s important to note that, as with any surgery, these procedures involve various risks, and individuals should carefully weigh them beforehand.
Altering one’s face through surgery is a significant decision and should be thoroughly considered. Before proceeding with any surgery, it’s crucial to consult with qualified medical professionals who can provide personalized advice based on your individual circumstances.
Is It Possible To Change Bone Structure?
Skeletal contouring is a surgical procedure that can alter facial bone structure. Throughout this procedure, skilled surgeons have the ability to modify the facial appearance by carefully adjusting the bone structure. There are two options available for modifying the bone: grafting to increase size and volume or shaving to reduce volume.
Like any surgical procedure, however, there are potential risks and complications associated with this surgery. These may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Abnormal scarring due to skin breakdown
- Separation of the surgical wound
- Nerve damage
- Allergic reaction
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Tearing of facial arteries during dissection
- Fractures
- Misalignment of the teeth
