Despite the fact that body positivity is in fashion now, many women (and men) remain dissatisfied with their shape. And we are talking not only about the shape of the body, but also the face.
A girl can have a chic, chiseled figure, and at the same time a rather plump face. And now, thanks to this unfair roundness, she no longer seems so slender, because excess fatty tissue in the cheek area is automatically mistaken by many people for fullness. In addition, with age, the skin and muscles invariably lose their elasticity, the tissues sag, and the mirror displays a completely bleak picture.
What can you do to get expressive cheekbones and get rid of full cheeks? You can try to hide the defect with makeup, visit a cosmetologist for massages or hardware procedures, decide on radical surgery, or try doing facial exercises at home. The last option is available to everyone; you just need to study the theory and 10-15 minutes a day. And the result is a toned oval face and beautiful cheekbones.
Peelings
Cleansing the skin is one of the main tasks for facial beauty. The fact is that the skin is constantly renewed and, in addition to the usual impurities, dead cells accumulate on it, forming a whole layer. It prevents the skin from breathing fully and prevents care products from penetrating deeper, making it uneven in color and uneven in texture.
Peels containing acids are safer and more effective to perform in a salon. The cosmetologist will select the composition that is suitable specifically for your case. Peeling will gently exfoliate dead skin, stimulate microcirculation, improve oxygen saturation of skin cells, even out the surface, and possibly cope with light pigmentation. The skin will become fresher, gain a healthy color, moisture and radiance.
For an ideal result, it is recommended to complete a course of peelings: an average of 5-7 procedures with a break of at least two weeks.
French massage technique
You can reduce your cheek size not only through exercise. French cosmetologist Evelyn Ganter-Pechot developed a massage method at home.
She identified massage lines that need to be influenced by soft stroking actions. During the procedure, do not pinch or press the skin.
The exposure time should, as a rule, be at least 30 minutes. Despite the fact that massage is not difficult to perform, the results are very effective.
In this video, Oksana Levina, a professional cosmetologist and massage therapist, tells how to remove cheeks. If you watch the video to the end, you will find out how gymnastics helps and what massage to use to reduce the volume of your cheeks. You will see how to lose weight in your face, remove swelling and how to make cheekbones. All this can be done at home.
If you devote only 15-20 minutes a day to yourself, you can maintain a young and toned face for many years. Beauty does not require a surgical scalpel, it needs daily attention. Do exercises for your cheeks, love yourself and all your efforts will be successful. See you again!
Purges
In addition, various hardware techniques are used to cleanse the skin, among which the most popular is ultrasonic facial cleansing. It does not damage the surface of the skin and can be done even at home (there are special home gadgets for this).
The face is treated with a special ultrasonic scrubber. The ultrasonic waves it emits “knocks out” all impurities from the pores, removes old cells and at the same time stimulates the skin through microvibration. This procedure is painless, lasts no more than half an hour and leaves no traces other than radiant and renewed skin.
Ultrasonic facial cleansing should be done in a course of 5-7 procedures with a week break.
Causes of fat deposition in the face
Unfortunately, excess fat can appear not only on the stomach, but also on the face. It usually accumulates on the cheeks, temples, under the chin and on the cheekbones. And even thin girls sometimes suffer from this fate.
Let's find out why the face becomes fuller. What factors influence this?
- Obesity.
- Genetics.
- Fluid retention.
- Steroid drugs.
- Sleep deficiency and stress.
A person who is overweight cannot, in principle, have a thin face. Therefore, without general weight loss, the problem is unlikely to be solved.
Many Russian women are subject to the deformation type of aging, when the oval of the face begins to float and jowls appear.
A dehydrated body tries to conserve moisture, and swelling appears. They make the face look puffy. Diseases of the excretory tract, heart and thyroid gland can also lead to swelling.
Taking steroids can lead to the appearance of excess lipid layer on the face.
Due to these reasons, the skin begins to sag, the oval loses its former shape.
Injections
Dehydrated, dry skin does not reflect light well, so it looks dull and lifeless. In addition, with a lack of moisture, its elasticity and firmness decreases, which also affects the ability to shine. In order to bring your skin back to life, saturate it with moisture and nutritional components, you can turn to injection cosmetology. The most popular methods here are mesotherapy and biorevitalization.
Cocktails for mesotherapy include hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes the skin, and various components suitable in a particular case, for example, lightening ones for pigmentation; narrowing pores and relieving inflammation - with excess fat; strengthening - for aging skin and so on. Biorevitalization is carried out with preparations based on hyaluronic acid without additives. It is indicated for mature skin, it moisturizes well, evens out the complexion and fights age-related changes - loss of turgor, fine wrinkles.
A course of mesotherapy consists of 6-8 procedures with a break of one to two weeks. The course of biorevitalization is 3-5 procedures with a break of two weeks.

How to make cheekbones on your face - exercises for girls
Did you know that there are 57 muscles on the human face? By training them correctly, you can correct many shortcomings and prolong youth and beauty.
But it is important to consider that exercises will not help you completely remove your cheeks and get rid of subcutaneous fat, this is only possible with the help of surgery, but now removing Bisha's lumps is considered complete absurdity. But such gymnastics will strengthen the facial muscles and help tighten the skin (which is very important when losing weight).
Exercises for thin cheekbones will not take up much of your time. 10 minutes in the morning will be enough, and after 2-3 weeks of daily training you will see the first results. Let's consider an effective and simple complex:
- Puff out your cheeks. Then place your palms on them and begin to press, not too hard, but so that the resistance is felt. Hold the air and hold this position for 5 seconds. Exhale slowly through pursed lips, without straining. Relax. Repeat the procedure 10-15 times.
- Open your mouth and form an oval. Press your tongue to either cheek from the inside, press on it in this way for about 5 seconds, repeat the same with the opposite cheek. Repeat 10-15 times.
- Smile as wide as possible. Freeze for 5-7 seconds. Repeat 10-15 times.
- Puff out your cheeks and imagine that you have a tennis ball in your mouth. Play with it, rolling it first to the left, then to the right, under the upper lip, then under the lower. Repeat these movements until the “ball” is on each side at least 10 times.
- Pull your cheeks in as much as possible to create sunken cheekbones, fold your lips into a bow. Try to keep your muscles toned. Freeze in this position for 10 seconds, relax. Repeat 10-15 times.
- Open your mouth wide, stretching your lower jaw forward as far as possible. You will feel strong muscle tension. Wait 5 seconds, then relax and return your chin to its original place. Repeat 5-10 times. This exercise is also good for getting rid of a double chin.
Do not believe the slogans on the Internet that say that any girl can easily correct the defect of chubby cheeks in a week, or what is even more absurd - in 1 day. No, of course, this is reality, but only if you decide to go on the operating table (you will be able to go out in public in about a week). And there’s no way to create beautiful cheekbones in just one day using skillfully applied makeup.
