Many people are curious and excited about ways to make their faces look slimmer, especially methods that highlight the cheekbones and jawline. Such enhancements can give your face a firm, uplifted appearance.
A common procedure for achieving this is buccal fat removal. This surgical operation involves taking out a small amount of fat that we all have underneath the hollow of our cheeks. This method is the only permanent way to slim down the face.
We often receive queries about whether there is a non-surgical alternative to buccal fat removal. The truth is, we can’t get rid of that particular fat pad without surgery.
Nonetheless, there are many non-surgical treatments available that can give your face a slimmer and more defined appearance, especially when several treatments are done in combination.
For many people, these non-surgical treatments could actually be a better choice than buccal fat removal. Not everyone is suitable for buccal fat removal surgery. If your face is already quite slim, the procedure could make you look older before your time.
In our clinic, we find that it’s often better for most patients to keep that fat pad. This is because as we get older, our faces naturally lose fat, elasticity and muscle strength. The fat pad adds volume and helps keep the face looking youthful. However, if you only want a small amount of fat removed to bring out more definition in your face, we have many excellent alternatives available at the Centre for Surgery.
Facial Fillers Positioned with Precision
Sometimes, certain patients actually need more volume in their faces rather than less, and that’s where facial fillers, or dermal fillers, can be of help. At first glance, you might think that you need to reduce fat in your face, but occasionally the real issue is about achieving balance. An area that has lost volume can create the illusion that another area is too full.
An experienced professional who administers these fillers can place them very strategically to emphasise the cheekbones and refine the jawline. Depending on the structure of your face, using fillers to imitate the look of bone structure can give you the slimming effect and definition that you’re aiming for. This technique can help balance out your facial features, so it may not be a case of needing less volume, but rather redistributing it for a more balanced, natural look.
Thread Lift for a Slimmer Looking Face
Another method to create the appearance of a slimmer face, particularly around the cheekbones and jawline, is a thread lift. This procedure involves the use of PDO threads, which are dissolvable stitches, inserted just beneath the skin’s surface in targeted areas of the face.
The PDO threads are cleverly manoeuvred to enhance definition, focusing particularly on those areas of the face that are prone to sagging and developing jowls. By strategically lifting the skin in certain areas, a slimmer and more defined look is created.
But the versatility of thread lifts goes beyond just slimming and defining. They are fantastic for promoting the production of collagen in your skin. Plus, depending on the type of threads used, they can also add volume and smooth out uneven skin texture. Therefore, not only does the procedure help in giving your face a more defined, slimmer look, but it also contributes to the overall health and youthful appearance of your skin.
Fotona4D: A No-Downtime Alternative
There’s a common misconception that if your skin is sagging, you require buccal fat removal. This isn’t actually correct. The skin naturally begins to sag as we age due to the loss of collagen, volume and weakening of muscles, not because there’s an excess of fat in the face. Buccal fat removal can’t assist with this issue. In fact, if it’s done on the wrong candidate, it might even lead to a sagging or gaunt look.
What many people really need is skin tightening. Fotona4D is an outstanding treatment for skin tightening and remodelling. It employs laser technology to enhance the elasticity of the skin and improve its overall health. After undergoing a series of Fotona4D facial treatments, you’ll notice a significant difference in the tightness of your skin as well as a considerable improvement in its overall quality. This way, you get a firmer, more youthful look without having to go through any invasive surgical procedures or experiencing downtime.
FaceTite for Enhanced Facial Definition
If you’re seeking a solution to firm up parts of your face where the skin might have become loose or started to sag, FaceTite could be an excellent choice. FaceTite is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment, which delivers RF heat below the skin’s surface. This technique has the ability to tighten tissues, boost collagen production, and even melt away small amounts of fat.
FaceTite is especially effective on parts of the face that are prone to developing jowls, such as around the cheeks, chin, and jawline. If you’re aiming for tighter skin, greater definition, and an overall slimmer appearance, FaceTite can provide some impressive results. So, it’s a brilliant option for those who are aiming for a more defined look, without resorting to invasive surgical procedures.
