A full face or chubby cheeks can be something that makes you unhappy. Although you can't lose weight in one part of your body, there are ways to slim down your face. Let's start with making changes in your diet and lifestyle. In addition, you should do some cheeks specific exercises. If you don't see the results, see your doctor to find out if you have a medical condition or a medicine that causes weight gain.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Exercise for the cheeks
Keep saying "X" and "O". Repeating these letters helps the muscles on the cheeks move and makes the face look slimmer. Read each letter 20 times and repeat twice daily.
Advice: You can do facial exercises while showering or changing in the morning or on the way to work / school.
Squeeze the cheeks to make the "fish's mouth". Try to squeeze your cheeks as much as you can, then hold for about 3 seconds and relax.
- Repeat this 20 times a day.
Open your mouth for a few seconds and relax. Open your mouth as wide as if you are about to put a large serving in your mouth, then hold it for 5 seconds before relaxing and closing your mouth.- Repeat this 20 times a day.
Rinse mouth with air. Air rinse your mouth as you normally would with a mouthwash and do it for 5 minutes a day. You can break down your workout time into 1, 2 or 3 minutes or work out continuously for 5 minutes.- If you like, you can also try rinsing your mouth with water to train your cheeks.
Chew gum after each meal. The movement of chewing continuously helps to make the jaw firmer and the cheeks look slimmer. Chew gum for 5 - 10 minutes after each meal.
- If chewing gum hurts your jaw, stop.
Laugh more. Laughter is also a facial muscle exercise and can distract your attention from the cheeks. Laugh for 10 seconds and repeat this exercise 10 times a day.
- In addition, regular smiling also helps you feel more positive and confident.
Method 2 of 3: Change eating habits and lifestyle
Control salt and sugar. If the diet contains too much salt and refined sugar, it is often easier for the body to store water. Similar to not drinking enough water, this will make your face and cheeks look fuller because of the water stored. While you can't get rid of salt and sugar completely, cut back on foods high in salt or sugar and choose foods low in salt or sugar.
Instead of eating salty meats like ham and bacon, Choose lean meat like skinless chicken breast or chopped turkey.
Choose a healthy diet and cut calories to lose weight. The most effective way to slim your face is to change your diet and lose weight overall. Identify the weight you want to lose and try to reach that goal. The next step is to cut calories by eating healthier, low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat protein.
- Download a calorie calculator to track the amount of food you consume each day. Note everything you eat and drink into the app and keep a daily calorie limit to start losing weight.
Drink plenty of water to speed up weight loss and slim face. Water is the best drink for weight loss because it doesn't have a lot of calories and creates a feeling of fullness between meals. The body also stores water when it is dehydrated, making the cheeks look fuller. Drink water when you are thirsty to keep your body hydrated.
- Always carry a water bottle and refill water throughout the day.
- Drink extra water if you sweat a lot, such as after exercising or going outside in hot weather.
Drink alcohol in moderation or avoid it entirely. Alcohol will make your face look fuller; so avoid these drinks when possible and drink only in moderation if necessary. Moderate means no more than 1 cup for women and 2 cups for men per day. One cup equals 350ml of beer, 150ml of wine or 45ml of brandy.
- Replace the evening cocktail with a cup of chamomile tea or use juice to make mocktail instead of carbonated water.
Exercise 150 minutes per week to aid weight loss. This is the recommended amount of time to perform exercises that increase the heart rate with a moderate intensity for people with normal health. Completing this amount of exercise each week will also help you burn more calories and lose weight. You can exercise 5 sessions per week for 30 minutes, or divide 150 minutes in another way.
- If you prefer, you can do 75-minute high intensity exercise, such as jogging or high intensity interval training.
- Choose an exercise style that you like to stay motivated. For example, if you like to dance, take a dance class or follow the videos on the internet.
Advice: Combining 2 strength training sessions per week will help improve the effectiveness of weight loss. Do 2 strength training sessions per week focusing on major muscle groups in the body such as the legs, arms, chest, back, abdomen, and buttocks.
Get plenty of sleep to support weight loss. Getting enough sleep each night also helps you lose weight; So, give priority to sleep. You should go to bed early so you can sleep at least 7 hours a night. Here are a few tips to help you improve sleep quality:
- Create a sense of relaxation in your bedroom, such as beautiful sheets and keep the room clean, cool, quiet, and not too bright.
- Turn off screens of electronic equipment such as phones, computers, and televisions at least 30 minutes before going to bed.
- Avoid caffeinated beverages at noon and at night.
Method 3 of 3: Talk to your doctor
Check with your doctor for any underlying medical condition. In some cases, a full face may be associated with a medical condition that requires treatment. If you have a healthy weight but there is no way to reduce your fullness of your face, see your doctor.
- For example, your doctor will check to see if you have mumps because it is a condition that causes your cheeks to swell.
Check to see if medication is the cause of a full face. If you routinely take over-the-counter medications from pharmacies, this could be the cause of your full face. Check with your doctor to see if this is possible and what medications you can replace.
- For example, oxycodone can cause the face and tip of the nose to become swollen. Although this is very rare, you should still check to see if you are taking this medication.
Cosmetic surgery if the other remedies don't work. This is a somewhat dangerous option for the face, but should also be considered if you have no other option and the fullness makes you uncomfortable. You can get referrals from your doctor or find a plastic surgeon yourself.
Warning: Cosmetic surgery is a costly remedy for a full cheeks and is rarely covered by insurance. In addition, this also has risks like any other type of surgery.
