What is the procedure for a thinner face?

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on various surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation, including fat transfer/fat grafting, browlift, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), facelift, etc. Also, this category includes questions on hand rejuvenation via fat grafting. (Of note, Dr. Lam does not perform body rejuvenation except for hand fat grafting)

What is the procedure for a thinner face?

Postby omarcaballero » Sun Mar 01, 2009 6:15 pm

As part of aging my face has become rounder and lost the lines definition. I would like to know what would be the procedure of choice to get back that younger appareance without modifying my features. I have attached a picture when i was 20 and a more recent one per comparasion purposes.

ps: pls erase pictures after evaluation for privacy

interestingly you mention it but you actually are flatter in the front chin and upper cheek and around the eyes so i put fat back in to blend out the areas that have been treated and thereby slim the heavier outer face by relative comparison. we can talk about that during a consultation with a photo in which you are not smiling in the future if you would like.
best,
sml
p.s.: i can't delete your photos for some reason.
