Common methods for facial slimming include dietary adjustments, facial massage, and exercise for weight loss. For more noticeable results, medical aesthetic treatments such as injectable type A botulinum toxin, facial liposuction, and radiofrequency fat dissolution can also be considered—these are all effective options for achieving a slimmer face. Before proceeding with any of these methods, it is advisable to consult a qualified physician to choose the most suitable approach based on individual circumstances.
Dietary adjustments primarily involve controlling calorie intake and increasing dietary fiber consumption through foods like oats, celery, and carrots, which help reduce facial fat. Facial massage helps relax facial muscles, improves blood circulation, and reduces facial swelling and fat accumulation, contributing to a slimmer appearance. For exercise-based weight loss, aerobic activities such as walking or yoga can boost basal metabolic rate, thereby aiding in facial slimming to some extent.
