Make Up For Round Face

Techniques of plastic surgery to reshape the round face
It is not uncommon to ask me for the desire of patients to turn in a round face look more shapely. A cause of a round face is that the patient is overweight. A full neck, round cheeks, and a lot of subcutaneous fat in the face creates a generalized fullness that creates a rich and round face. These patients know that they are overweight and some liposuction of the neck and mouth lipectomies can make a difference. But losing weight is probably the biggest difference in these cases. And these procedures should not be made until weight loss was achieved.

But the overweight patient is not what is usually around the patients face '. Most often these are younger patients who are significantly overweight and are generally closer to the height and weight are more porportionate. They may have some mild fullness in the cheeks and neck but often their bony prominences (cheeks, chin, or jaw angles) may be somewhat deficient. The approach of these patients must deal with issues of hard and soft tissues to be effective in improving facial angularity and definition.

In addition to the fullness of the cheeks and neck, the next most important consideration in facial shape improvement should focus on the chin. Often, it can be midly runs in the horizontal dimension but the width of the chin is also important, especially among male patients. Chin implants today can provide more projection and width of different sizes. Placed through a small incision under the chin bone, a chin implant can give more definition and squareness to the lower face from subtle to dramatic results.

Upper facial fullness, more specifically midfacial fullness, can be achieved through cheek implants. Placed into position by incisions in the mouth under the upper lip implants can provide good highlights cheeks with improvement in three dimensions of the bone as it wraps around the area below the eye. An amazing ARAY cheek and midface implants is available to provide a lot of enhancements around this important landmark for the face. When paired cheek implants are combined with a chin implant, an upside down triangle of change is created that directly opposes more round or oval face.

angle of mandible implants are always a possibility, but they are rarely needed in most really round faces. They can produce lateral facial fullness but this is generally not helpful in 'de-rounding' the face in most patients.

Procedures lipectomies mouth, throat and neck liposuction, chin implants and Cheel are the usual tools of facial plastic surgery rehaping. Which one or combination of procedures is very helpful for improving the definition of the face is best determined by careful computer imaging study during the consultation with your surgeon.
