Be sure to check with your doctor as certain medical conditions and medications can make your face look more plump. With patience and effort, you will see your face gradually slimmer as you look in the mirror.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Lifestyle changes
Set realistic weight loss goals if you need weight loss. Body weight loss is the best way to lose facial fat. Losing weight takes time and effort, but even with a small loss of weight, there are many long-term health benefits. If you are overweight or obese, set a weight loss goal for yourself and work hard to get there. Just start with a humble goal to make it easier to achieve and feel more confident.
- Aim to lose 0.5-1kg per week. This is a healthy, easy-to-reach weight loss goal and you can see the immediate effect of reducing 500-1000 calories from your daily diet.
- For example, you could aim to lose about 3kg in 6 weeks. This is a realistic goal, so it's easy to see the effect.
Check your diet to find out what foods and drinks may cause your face to swell. Certain foods cause bloating, leading to a swollen face. Try keeping a food diary to see what foods can cause gas. You can try the diet if you know what foods are causing your problem. Check to see if your diet usually contains the following foods:- Carbonated drinks
- Wheat protein
- Milk Products
- Cabbage
- Bean
- Broccoli
- Sprouts
- Cauliflower
- Onion
- Salty foods such as snacks, frozen pizzas, and deli meats
Do exercise regularly to improve weight and blood circulation. Regular exercise can help keep your face looking slim due to weight loss. If you don't need to lose weight, exercise improves blood circulation. This is an activity that can reduce facial fat.- Make sure to choose your preferred form of exercise like walking, dancing, swimming or biking.
- Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity each day.
Get enough sleep for the endocrine system to work properly. Lack of sleep can cause endocrine problems such as diabetes. You need about 7-9 hours of sleep each night to stay awake, energized and improve the health of the endocrine system. This is a way to help you avoid problems with a chubby face.- Make your bedroom a relaxing place for a good night's sleep, such as making it cool, clean, quiet, and without a lot of light while sleeping.
- You can also sleep better by limiting or avoiding caffeine, turning off your screen at least 30 minutes before bed, and avoiding doing nothing other than sleeping in bed.
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and reduce water storage in the body. Drinking lots of water will reduce swelling on the face because the body doesn't need to store much water. Without enough water, the body is forced to store water in other parts of the body, including the face. Aim to drink 8 glasses of water (240ml / cup) per day and more if you sweat a lot or are thirsty.
- Fill the bottle with water before you leave in the morning and add more water throughout the day when you go to school.
Advice: If you don't like the pale taste of the water, you can add lemon juice, a pinch of berries or a few slices of cucumber.
Limit or abstain from alcohol. Alcohol consumption increases swelling in your face, so it's best to quit completely (if possible) or limit your consumption. The healthy limit for alcoholic beverages is no more than 1 drink for women and no more than 2 drinks for men. Each cup equates to 350ml of beer, or 150ml of wine or 45ml of brandy.
- Try drinking regular mocktails when you want to drink alcohol. Combine carbonated water, some cranberry juice and a slice of lemon for a simple, delicious, low-calorie drink.
- If you find it difficult to abstain from alcohol, talk to your doctor. Perhaps you need help quitting alcohol.
Method 2 of 3: Perform exercises for the face
Say "X" and "O" 20 times in a row. X and O alternating speech will help the facial muscles to move more effectively. Say “X-O-X-O” out loud 20 times in a row and emphasize each letter for maximum effect.
- Do this exercise while you change clothes in the morning.
Squeeze your cheeks like a fish 20 times a day. This may look a bit silly, but will help keep the muscles in your cheeks moving. You will pull in your cheeks and hold it for 5 seconds and then return to normal. Repeat 20 times throughout the day.
- Do this exercise while you are styling your hair or makeup.
Open your mouth as wide as possible, hold for 5 seconds, then relax. Open your mouth as wide as possible as if you were screaming. Next, you keep the motion and count to 5 and then relax. Repeat 30 times per day.
- Do this when you make your bed or do chores.
Do a water-free rinse for 5 minutes a day. Take a deep breath through your mouth and then close your mouth so it looks like it's filled with air. Use a waterless mouth rinse to get all of your facial muscles involved. Remember to breathe normally while doing this.
- Aim to rinse your mouth out of water for 5 minutes a day. For example, you can do this for 2 minutes in the morning and 3 minutes at noon, or do it continuously for 5 minutes if you like.
Advice: You can also rinse your mouth with water or rinse your mouth with oil for the same motor effect.
Face massage after exercise. First, press your fingertips against your forehead and move down your temples and cheeks. Next, press your fingertips on both sides of your nose and move to your cheeks and down. Finally, press your fingertips along the jawbone and move down the jaw. You can also seek out a massage therapist or use a jade roller to massage your face.
- Massage will help improve blood circulation and lymph drainage in the face. Lymph fluid forms around the lymph nodes. Too much lymphatic fluid will cause parts of the body to swell.
Method 3 of 3: Seeking medical help
See your doctor to check for underlying medical conditions. Certain conditions can make your face look fuller, so you'll need to see your doctor if you experience sudden or excessive weight gain. Your doctor will examine you to find out the cause of the disorder.
- For example, your doctor will check for Cushing's syndrome and thyroid disease because this is what makes your face look plump.
Advice: Be sure to let your doctor know about recent changes to health and facial differences. For example, lately you feel tired and lose energy easily, let your doctor know about that.
Ask your doctor if your medication will make your face look fuller. Maybe a new or current medicine is causing your face to become swollen or fuller. Talk to your doctor when you start a new medication and notice side effects.
- For example, a rare reaction of oxycodone is swelling on the face and tip of the nose.
Consider face lift surgery if the other options don't work. While cosmetic surgery is both expensive and invasive, you can consider if the other options aren't working as well. Consult your doctor or find a professional plastic surgeon yourself. Don't use cheap options. Make sure your doctor has expertise and experience in cosmetic surgery on your face.
- See a plastic surgeon to find out how well it is for facial stretches or other types of surgery to reduce face size.
- You should combine therapies, such as liposuction with facial stretches.
Advice
- Having a little bit of fat on your face is also an advantage, especially as you get older. Losing more fat for your face will make you look older because your face is emaciated and sagging.
Warning
- Facial surgery is just as serious as other types of surgery and shouldn't be taken lightly. The face is full of blood vessels, which can interfere with surgery. Even with good results, the surgery still leaves scars on the face.
