Chubby cheek / Face fat
The ratio of fat to bone on the face is key to achieving a beautiful look. While we cannot change our facial bone structure, we can reduce facial fat to improve our appearance. This can lead to a more defined jawline, slimmer muscles, and a sleeker jaw. Even those with small facial bone structure can have a chubby face due to excess fat. Consulting professionals for tailor-made treatment plans is the most effective way to achieve your ideal face shape.
Causes
- Fat deposition type of chubby cheeks Face fat can occur as a result of diet and lifestyle. Slow metabolism caused by aging may lead to fat accumulation on the body and cheeks.
- Bony chubby cheeks Bones on the face also affect our appearance. Zygomatic bone (Cheekbone) and Mandible bone (Jawbone) are the two major bones on the face which determine our face shapes. ⅓ of face width depends on the shape of Zygomatic Arch. Zygomatic bone determines the shape of the upper face while Mandible bone determines the shape of the lower face and the length of the face. Study has shown that the Mandible bone continues to grow in the 25 to 40 years of adulthood. Womens’ can only grow no longer than 1 mm (barely noticeable) while mens’ can grow between 3 to 6 mm.
- Sagging type of chubby cheeks As we age, our body and face start losing collagen and fat. Our face then loses skin elasticity, cheeks appear larger, and the jawline becomes undefined. As a result, our face will look bigger.
Types of Chubby cheek
subcutaneous fat type
People with a lot of superficial fat tend to have a rounder face. This is because the deep fat in the face provides volume and support, creating what we call a “baby face.
enlarged Masseter
The Masseter muscle sits beneath the layer of fat. You can test if you have enlarged Masseter muscles by clenching your teeth and observing any protrusion on the side of your face.
Sagging cheeks type
As we age, we may lose fat and collagen in our face, causing wrinkles around the mouth and nose, sagging skin, and accumulation of skin at the jawline.
Bony face shape
Big boned faces, like square and rectangular shapes, may look bigger.
Treatment
Chubby cheeks are usually caused by body fat or muscle. To slim the face, injections or treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage, and Thread Lift can be effective.
