It’s important to know the cause why your face isn’t smaller. I will list out the possible causes and options available :
Wide cheekbone and jawbone structure – Only surgical reduction can provide significant results. However, the downtime is pretty long, and chances of facial numbness are there. Korea is usually the place to go for such operations as they do a lot of it, but recently we also have many Korean-trained cosmetic surgeons in Singapore who are able to do this.
Too much fatty tissue – usually this is due to general weight gain, sometimes it can be due to genetics or even medical conditions like hypothyroidism and Cushing’s syndrome. First is to treat the medical condition / lose weight, and then the last option is to perform buccal fat removal. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is able to slightly reduce the prominence of such buccal fat and give a lift at the same time. It’s the best option if you do not want to remove the fats surgically.
Looseness of skin / Sagginess of fat tissues – the sagginess of facial fat leads to deep smile lines, jowling and the face looking wider than it is. Again, HIFU can be used for good results. Threadlifts can be added on for a stronger physical lifting effect to pull up the tissues, and this can lead to an immediate “slimming” effect on the face.
Masseter / Parotid gland hypertrophy – Big masseter muscles are very common in Asians and can be reduced with Botulinum Toxin A. It could also be due to an excessive parotid gland ( it’s located just behind the masseters ) and this can also be reduced with Botox / Dysport / Xeomin.
Having listed out all, I would usually recommend HIFU + Threadlift for the best possible results. Dysport Dermalift can also be performed for an immediate lifting and slimming effect.
Hope that helps!
