What should I do if my face is too wide on both sides?

Disease description:

My body isn’t particularly overweight, and my face isn’t especially fleshy either; however, the sides of my face appear somewhat wide, making my entire face look disproportionately large. I previously tried facial massage for a period of time, but saw no noticeable improvement. Could you advise what options are available to address excessive width along the sides of the face?

Hello, excessive width of the face—particularly on both sides—is primarily caused by underlying bony structure, which can make the face appear swollen and negatively impact facial aesthetics, as well as photographic appearance. The most effective solution for facial width is mandibular angle reduction surgery (jaw contouring). A qualified surgeon will develop a personalized surgical plan based on your specific anatomy to help you achieve a more natural, harmonious facial contour. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
