HOW TO SLIM YOUR FACE?

A slimmer face

A slim face is more elegant and relaxed than a broad, imposing face.
Refining the face is a frequent request from :

  • Women and men over the age of 40 who have seen their face 'grow' over time.
  • Women and men aged between 20 and 40 influenced by the new beauty criteria dictated by social networks.

The causes

A wide face is one in which the middle third (the cheeks) and/or the lower third (the mandibular angle) are wide.
Anatomically, this may be due to :

  • Bone structure.
  • The masseter muscles (muscles of mastication located at the mandibular angle).
  • Abundant jugal fat caused by age-related loss of malar fat, overweight or genetically determined.


The factors responsible for a wide face are :

  • Ethnicity: in Asians, for example, the masseter muscle is highly developed and the 'lower face' appears 'wide'.
  • Excess weight: responsible for the appearance of the double chin and the increase in jugal fat.
  • Genetics: the development of bone, muscle and fat structures is genetically determined.
  • Age. Why do we put on weight as we get older? Over time, the malar fat falls away and changes the face, making it square and wide.

Tips for slimming the face

Certain exogenous factors aggravate the puffiness. Eliminating them naturally refines the face.

To take action on these factors, we recommend :

  • Regular physical activity.
  • Manual drainage.
  • Reducing salt consumption.
  • Eat a healthy diet, rich in fibre and low in refined sugars.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
  • Get enough sleep.
  • Keep well hydrated.

How can I slim down my face without surgery?

It is possible to refine the face using aesthetic medicine techniques. However, when faces are 'wide' because of a highly developed bone structure or too much jugal fat, surgical treatment is required. Effective medical treatments include hyaluronic acid, botox and cryolipolysis.

L'hyaluronic acid is a gel that for a long time was used exclusively to add volume. Technical advances have made it possible to use it to define and refine the face.

The main application is the liquid face lift technique or 8 Point face liftThis involves lifting the fat from the lower third of the face. This technique is performed mainly on patients aged over 35. For younger patients, the face lift gives visible but less spectacular results.

The definition of chinthe jawline contouring and the 7/9 Point Shape will then be performed according to the patient's anatomy in order to improve the result obtained with the liquid face lift.

How can I get a slimmer face with botox injections?

The botox injections are indicated to reduce the volume of the masseter muscle if it is highly developed.

The power of the latter can have aesthetic (wide lower face) and/or functional consequences: the bruxism.

The result is visible one week after treatment and definitive three weeks later; it lasts six months.
