What should I do if my face is too wide and I want to make it narrower?
In general, if your face is too wide and you wish to make it appear narrower, you can regularly perform facial massages in daily life. Facial massage helps promote blood circulation, reduce facial edema, and create a firmer, more contoured appearance. If massage proves ineffective, professional medical aesthetic treatments such as injectable type A botulinum toxin, facial liposuction, radiofrequency fat reduction, mandibular angleplasty, or zygoma reduction surgery may be considered at qualified medical institutions.
