The causes

A wide face is one in which the middle third (cheek area) and/or the lower third (jawline area) are broad. Anatomically, this can be due to :

  • Bone structure.
  • The masseter muscles (chewing muscles located at the jaw angle).
  • Excess buccal fat caused by sagging of the malar fat with age, by being overweight, or genetically determined.


The factors responsible for a wide face are :

  • Ethnicity : in Asian populations, for example, the masseter muscle is highly developed and the “lower face” appears wide.
  • Excess weight : leads to the appearance of a double chin and an increase in buccal fat.
  • Genetics : the development of bone, muscle and fat structures is genetically determined.
  • Age – Why does the face get fuller with age ? Over time, malar fat descends and reshapes the face, making it squarer and wider.

Hyaluronic acid is a gel that was long used exclusively to add volume. Technical advancements have made it possible to use it to define and refine the face.

The main technique is the liquid face lift or 8 Point face lift, which lifts the fat in the lower third of the face. This technique is primarily used in patients over 35 years of age. In younger individuals, the face lift produces visible but less dramatic results.

 chin, facial jawline contouring and 7/9 Point Shape will then be performed according to the patient’s anatomy, to enhance the results obtained with the liquid face lift.

Comment puis-je affiner mon visage qui est trop rond ?

Pour affiner un visage rond, plusieurs solutions sont possibles :
• Adopter une alimentation équilibrée et limiter la consommation de sel, qui favorise la rétention d’eau.
• Pratiquer des exercices faciaux pour tonifier les muscles du visage.
• Réaliser des massages drainants pour stimuler la circulation et réduire les gonflements.
• En médecine esthétique, les injections de toxine botulique dans les muscles masséters, la cryolipolyse du double menton ou les injections d’acide hyaluronique peuvent affiner le visage.

Oui, il est tout à fait possible d’affiner le visage. Une bonne hygiène de vie, combinée à des techniques esthétiques adaptées, permet de réduire le volume du visage et d’améliorer les contours. Les traitements non invasifs comme la radiofréquence, la cryolipolyse, ou les injections de jawline contouring sont particulièrement efficaces.

Pour réduire l’aspect bouffi, il est recommandé de :
• Limiter la consommation de sel et d’alcool, qui favorisent la rétention d’eau.
• Boire suffisamment d’eau pour favoriser l’élimination des toxines.
• Pratiquer des massages drainants pour dégonfler le visage.
• Opter pour des traitements esthétiques comme le drainage lymphatique, la radiofréquence ou les injections de toxine botulique pour affiner les muscles du visage.

Pour affiner le visage, plusieurs facteurs sont essentiels :
• Une alimentation équilibrée et pauvre en sodium.
• Une bonne hydratation pour éviter la rétention d’eau.
• Des soins réguliers comme les massages drainants.
• Des traitements esthétiques ciblés (injections, cryolipolyse, radiofréquence).
• L’exercice physique, qui favorise l’élimination des graisses superflues.

Certains aliments peuvent contribuer à affiner le visage en réduisant la rétention d’eau et les gonflements :
• Les aliments riches en potassium comme la banane, les épinards et les avocats.
• Les fruits diurétiques tels que le melon, le concombre et la pastèque.
• Les aliments riches en fibres (légumes, fruits secs) pour améliorer la digestion.
